A Quilt for a Special Two Year Old...

This quilt is going to a big-brother-to-be. It's not finished yet.... I started this one while on vacation in Washington also. I didn't have a pattern, just a bunch of my mother in law's scraps. It kinda ended up like one big log cabin block.

PROCRASTINATING

I am SOOO procrastinating my homework tonight. For some reason, I am just not feeling warm and fuzzy enough to write my "philosophy of education."

Any way here is another WIP. I currently have four. EEK! Will I ever get these quilts finished?

This is my take on a stacked coin quilt. Usually stacked coin quilts are made vertically, but mine ended up horizontal because I wanted it to be BIG! I love the colors of the quilt, it makes me think of summer. One reason I haven't finished this quilts yet is because I'm not quite sure what to do with it yet!

I used a charm pack called "riveria" from Connectingthreads. I really like connecting threads, they only sell fabric that is made from cotton grown in the USA.

My first Abstract Quilt

This is my first abstract quilt. I got an idea and just ran with it. I finished the quilt top in about 4 hours. It's not complete, but here's a sneak peak. I'm really excited to finish this one if I ever find the time!!

Yet Another Rag Quilt......

I made this quilt in Washington while on vacation. I used my Mother in Law's Pfaff. Man, how I have got to get one of those!!

This quilt has become a favorite between Terry and I. We fight over this quilt every night. It's light weight and perfect to throw over you to cuddle in while watching a good movie. The colors are so relaxing, it's like sleeping in a cloud!

Baby Pinwheel Quilt

This quilt was made just to get experience with triangles. I SOOO needed the practice. This is the first quilt I ever machine quilted, which makes it special. I wanted to give this one away but once Terry saw it, he wanted me to keep it. He said, "Kyra what about when we have a baby girl??" I thought he was so sweet I decided to hang onto it.

*DISCLAIMER* we are NOT expecting! :)

Baby Rag Quilt

This quilt was so fun to make. It took about two hours from start to finish. That includes cutting the fabric, ironing, sewing, cutting, washing, and drying. I made this quilt for a certain someone who is expecting a baby girl. I can't wait to give it to her! I hope she doesn't read this blog before I can give it to her!

This Rag Quilt turned out much better. Even after the wash, there were no seams to repair. On this Rag Quilt, I left about a 3/4 inseam. It sounds like a lot, but once you cut the inseam to make the fray, there is a lot of fabric there to make it nice and fluffy!
