This quilt is made from shirts worn by my husband, my son, and myself. Then there is one other fabric added to represent my daughter since I didn't have any of her shirts, then the blue. I used 2 layers of warm & white batting- it quilts up so much nicer that way- so it is one heavy & large lap quilt. I usually use washable wool batting now days but I had some warm & white left over and wanted to use it up.
Here is the back and an up close. That pink London fabric is the one i added for my daughter. The rest are clothes actually worn by the rest of us. That pink & yellow plaid is from a pair of shorts.
The quilting pattern is called "A Little bit of fluff". This is the second quilt- ever- that I have had a problem of the back folding over on itself during quilting. I had to remove stitching from the second half of two rows to fix it. That was frustrating...otherwise, I love my long arm machine!
This is my other recent finish. Made in two days. Those hand painted panda blocks have been in my stash for years. I was finally motivated to get something made with them. Its a little less than 30 inches square. Now I have to figure out where to hang it.
These blocks called to me yesterday so I got this simple top put together and I am really loving it. I already have the backing loaded on the long arm. I think I want this one hanging in my bedroom where I have new solid navy bedding and a light blue-grey wall.
I had originally planned on working on my bee quilt yesterday. That didn't happen. Now that I have found out that we are planning on starting a hybrid model of school this year , in addition to an online option, and I will be starting back in less than 2 weeks, the pressure is on to get some more projects finished!
I saw this Barbie at the book store the other day. I LOVE her! I have been trying to make myself take some time for meditation and yoga through all this quarantine so this tickled my funny bone. Even Barbie is more Zen than I am...
Namaste!
