Just finished up a quilt for friends who had a little boy. I saw a similar quilt on the Moda Bakeshop website, but I tweaked it a little to make it the way I wanted it to be. I think it turned out really well except that I would probably only do it with letters that didn't dip below the line. I think the "g" looks a little funny. I got a new walking foot (hallelujah) so quilting it was a breeze. I know white is tricky with kids, but I think it's a cute blanket.

Springy

 
I used some scraps from a sewing project to make this baby quilt. It came together pretty quickly and I think it's cute. It's not as cute as the original project, but it's soft and light and cute!


This is a quilt I made from a Moda charm pack. I was really against it at first, which is why it took me so long to get past the block-stage. Then I just wanted it out of my sewing room, so I put it together with some borders and quilted it. I actually really started liking it towards the end. I had started out doing the disappearing nine-patch block. But then it was too mismatched and I started regretting jumping in like I did. I bought the coordinating yardage for the borders and the back, and I think that tied it together for me. I quilted it using a pattern of one of the flowers in the fabric and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I used a very neutral color of thread and it blends in well.
