A niece quilt

My brain wanted to remind me of all the baby quilts I’ve made.   This is one i haven’t posted before. Flying geese units rotated on edge. All stash (well not the back).  

 

Really behind

 I’ve got two projects running right now.  I ran out of supplies so I’ve moved to another.  This one is for me and probably will be used as fabric art as opposed to an actual quilt.  

Finished gift

I got it put in the frame a few days before we left for our trip.   I'm very happy with the way it turned out.   I also think I'm done with French knots for a while.  

Auction quilt, done

I love grabbing quilts from the dryer after their first wash.  This time was not a let down.   

And a wedding gift

Another WIP.  A wedding gift for my husband's cousin.  It might get done on the plane ride to the wedding.  *Fingers crossed*  

Another idea from Pinterest.  I'm going to add their initials to the middle of the tree and depending on how much time I've got left, I might add some texture to the tree branches and trunk.  It'll go inside an 11 X 7 picture frame.  

The red circle I drew is a new quilting find.  It's a Pilot erasable gel pen.  The marks go away with a warm iron, great for quilters.  It does retain a white line after you use a warm iron and after you put it in the cold (I experimented at home with scraps in the freezer) but once you wash it, the white ghost mark doesn't come back.  I'm not going to wash this project but possibly just wet and blot the areas where I added the pen marks just to be safe.

Smaller baby hood towels

Since D asked, here's the tutorial for the baby hooded towels.

Humane Society auction quilt

Last year after the auction for a local humane society fundraiser, I mentioned to my dad, one of their volunteers that I would provide something for the auction.  For a while there, I wasn't sure if it was going to happen or not because the person who organized it last year has since left the position.  I made the quilt top from scraps and then kinda just sat on it for a while. 

I guess it's appropriate that it's cat approved seeing where it's going to end up.

I fixed it after Ramses stepped all over it.

And then done.
I added a border and called it a good size for a baby quilt.

Then all of the sudden the auction was back on and I have a deadline.  It needs to be done by April 10th now.  Ack!  

This was the progress after the better part of a Sunday.  I filled and emptied an entire bobbin and then had to call it quits for the day.  I did a little more last night as well before I figured out that one of the white fabrics is MUCH thicker than the others.  It keeps breaking the top thread despite me changing my needle size (I need to make a post about needle sizes after I do some proper research.  After consulting my quilting buddy, I'm going to stick with 70/10 for piecing but 90/14 for quilting and binding).

The inside of the quilt is a loopy overlapping stipple.  The border is going to have larger figure 8's.
