Pink/yellow baby quilt


This baby quilt is my current project. It is 42" x 60".

I started with a 4" floral block. Added 2" white strips with yellow cornerstones. Then a 2" pale pink with the same yellow cornerstones.

The quilting has begun. I chose a feathered heart for the white squares using white thread. I use soap to mark quilting lines on most fabrics. It is getting extremely hard for me to see the markings on the white. But I'm too afraid to use colored markers or pencil on the white.

Tee Shirt Quilt completed

This quilt is made with tee shirts all from the same college.
The only request was to use light blue fabric. The jersey
squares are hand quilted and the sashes are echoed with a
1/4" stitching. The border was also hand quilted with blue thread.
Chloe who spends 20 hours of each day hiding in my bed
took a fancy to this project.

Productive Vacation

I am lucky enough to get 4 weeks vacation from my day job. Usually they are spent quilting 6 - 10 hours a day.
This morning I finished a tee-shirt quilt. I hope to finish two other projects before next Monday morning. Photos later this week.
