What kind of quilt are you making?  |
| |
| Anyone make any new quilts lately? I'm working on finishing a baby quilt for my brand new nephew. My SIL has his room decorated with baby animals, so I found some adorable material with all kinds of baby animals on it. I found accent colors in blue, brown and yellow. It is turning out to be so cute! My next project will be for my youngest dd. She wants a new quilt for her bedroom in orange, teal and yellow! It may not sound like the best colors to work together, but I bought a couple jelly rolls in those colors and they look great together! Now I just have to have her pick out what she wants it to look like! What are you working on? | | | | | |

| | Afraid I haven't quilted in years but keep saying I'm going to get back into it. I'm crochetting mostly now and am currently working on a special order baby afghan - purples & gray with butterflies. | | | | | | |

| | I made several crocheted afghans years ago, but haven't done much crocheting in years! So we're the opposite! Purples and grays sound great together. I want to make a quilt for my SIL (the mother of the new baby) that looks like butterflies. I bought all the material, but her birthday isn't till October, so I have a while for that one! It will have all batik material that looks like stained glass, and then I'll do a black trim around each block. I have a beautiful pattern for paper piecing butterflies. I know she'll love it! Have fun with the baby afghan! | | | |

| | Sounds a lot like my crocheted blanket. 2 shades of purple in squares, the lighter purple squares all have a butterfly crocheted right into the square, each square is framed in grey then a grey border around all. It looks like the squares are in fancy picture frames because I used a different stitch for that. I've now finished that but turned right around and got order for 2 sets (blanket and pillow) but both are all white with white satin trim. This same lady has purchased 10 or so sets from me over the last year. | | | |

| | seems like you are always working on a quilt for some one . Dont have a project right now except threapy and that seems to be working good as long as I dont forget to take a muscle relaxer or pain pill before I go. I didnt Friday and ended back in bed for the day untill the pain pill decided to work about 6 hours!. I need a project just dont know what not time for gardening yet. be another month for that . am looking forward to that! | | | | | | |

| | Yep, you're right! I am always working on one for someone! I just find it very relaxing and rewarding. Sometimes, I'll see a pattern and immediately I think of someone that I'd like to make a quilt for! | | | |

| | I went to a Joannes when I was in the city a couple of days ago - we only gt there about once a year - they had the most luscious colors available in the Orange section - it was so vibrant and alive. | | | |

| | I am really in awe of people who do quilting. I wish I had had someone close to me to teach me and guide me to doing it, I would like my daughter, also, to learn the art. What is a jelly roll? | | | | | | |

| | Hi Meodestah... To answer your question, a jelly roll is a bunch of fabrics cut in 2 inch lengths x the width of the fabric. I believe there are 30-50 strips in a jelly roll. The name is for how they are sold. All rolled up like it's namesake. It looks like a cinnamon roll, or an old fashioned lollypop when they are done. | | | |

| | Sounds like you've been busy! :) I have fabrics picked out to make a garden maze quilt for our bed. The focal fabric is a pretty orange, red and yellow leaf pattern. The "paths" are a yellow and orange to match. I'm really excited about it, but still, not excited enough to start cutting. I also have a lonestar cut out made out of a cute print I found. It's a kalediscope of little animals marching along. I really do need to finish this one up. I don't know what I'll do with it when I'm done, but it will be a fun experience. | | | | | | |

| | I just checked out the garden maze pattern and it's really nice! That's not one I had seen before. Orange, yellow and red would make a nice quilt! | | | |

| | Well, I just finished a set of pot holders, and now I'm finishing the quilting on my zoo quilt. Then I have another quilt top ready to quilt, but I need to figure out the backing first. LOL I want to start a new quilt, but I told myself I need to finish at least 2 already started quilts before I can start a new one. ;O) | | | | | | |

| | That's a great idea... finish what you started. I have always wondered why my UFO pile is bigger than my finished pile. LOL! :) | | | |

| | I am just beginning on this "making a quilt" adventure! I have one big baby quilt all sewn, except I want to add more to the border and have to buy some tan material, so that one is on hold, but almost finished. This one is a nine patch, mainly navy, tan and a plaid of black, blue and tan. It's my favorite so far. I've got another big baby quilt started that is a nine patch, mainly white, mauve and a plaid of gray, mauve and white. I know white is not the best choice for a baby blanket, but that's how it is. These two quilts I will for sure take them to my MOPS group to be tied and then we will donate them to a shelter in our area. I just started another quilt the block is some sort of a start in the middle and a log cabin around the outside. Someday I'd like to make it a red, white and blue quilt as in the book. I'm making my quilt as purples, dark greens, and rose print with these colors and the background is white. I think it will be very pretty when it's done. I'm learning a bunch with this one also, but that's another post. Over all I'm having a good time with it. | | | | | | |
