Mammoth Plaid Flannel with a Blue Jean Back

As promised, this quilt is done!! 

I think flannel and plaid go well with blue jeans! I happened to have a bag of blue jeans to use for quilting! I didn’t keep any of the seams from the jeans. I find it easier for my sewing machine to not use them. I cut the legs off the jeans and cut the leg pieces using my long ruler. Then alternated the colours of the jeans to create the back. 

I’ve started to use the back as binding more often, too. I cut the back 1.5 inches bigger, folded it over and created the binding. Then double stitched around it to finish it off neatly!! 

I was on a creative roll today. I redid our entrance wall. It was too busy and messy before. Much neater and organized now!! 

There are a few nail holes to fix from the previous owner and then I’m calling it done! 

Happy sewing

Pink and brown cuteness

A couple of pics from the mini Quilt Cave Retreat 2020.  Two different versions of a rail fence quilt. Quilt one is a wonky rail fence pin wheel with some wonky diagonal
 Quilting.

Quilt two wonky rail fence with straight line quilting.

Love them both.

Simple Strip Quilt

Just a pic of a simple strip quilt I made a couple of weeks ago.  Not sure where it's going but it's simple and cute.

I Love Paper Piecing

It’s true! I do love to paper piece! Last year, I stumbled upon a pattern for an ATAT.... aka a pew pew!! This was my first step down into the rabbit hole which lead me to joining the   Quiet Play 2019 Pattern Club. I instantly joined and started to work away at the patterns that arrived in my inbox each month. Each month, I receive a word, image and a bonus block pattern. I didn’t plan much out in terms of colour like Kristy Lea of Quiet Play designs - she does a lovely job of using 🌈 colours for each block!!

Here is what’s required for the 2019 Pattern Club:

These are the blocks that I have completed::

I know what your thinking ... you still have a lot of blocks to make! You’re right!! That’s because I made all of these bonus blocks:

I would like to get the rest of the required blocks done so I can start the 2020 Pattern Club!!!

I may need to do more planning for this one in terms of colours used!!

Mammoth Plaid Flannel Big Baby Quilt

Quilt Cave Star Date: 73602

Today has been a day to remember! One quilt top completed and named. I present to you the Mammoth Plaid Flannel Big Baby Quilt!! 

These flannels screamed “Wonky Log Cabin” to Her so that’s what I did. I kept the traditional red centre square - that’s the only thing traditional about it. I plan to add a blue jean back to this real soon and get it listed on my Etsy store

ASAP!!
