Orange/Teal Quilt

 

 

 

 

Remember this quilt?  It's been awhile!  I finally finished the sandwiching, quilting, and binding to call this quilt complete. 

 

http://scrapbookwithkira.blogspot.com/2013/01/orangeteal-quilt.html

This quilt is made with scraps from a larger quilt (in progress---still) using the same colors, a small charm pack, and white sashing strips.

 

The large quilt pattern can be found in and on the cover of the Simple Quilts & Sewing Magazine- fall 2012 edition. http://www.quiltmag.com/magazine/simple-quilts-sewing-%E2%80%93-fall-2012/

Valentine Love Mini Wreath

 

I found a similar wreath on Pinterest and thought it would be a cute little project and good way to use up some retired paper.  This wreath is mini- it is about 6-7 inches in diameter and I love how it turned out!

Baby Doll Quilt

 

My niece has become a baby-doll girl.  She loves her babies.  She recently went into the kitchen and got a dishtowel to wrap her doll up in.  I thought it was time to make a cute little quilt, a proper baby blanket.  I pulled out the scrap bag from making her baby quilt and started laying out the scraps in a pattern until I liked it and the size.  I think it turned out wonderful and like that it matches her quilt.  She loved the quilt and was more excited about it than any of the other toys she opened on Christmas.
