Hey sewing friends! Recently, I finished this cute little baby quilt using an orphan block from my Starbelt quilt pattern.

This is a fun and fast way to a make large block into an adorable baby quilt.

Medallion Milestone Samples
Anytime I start a quilt, the hardest decision is always color. There are so many combinations out there I want to try! For my Medallion Milestone quilt, the color choices were influenced by my newborn daughter. But I know not everyone will be making this for a baby. So I put together a few color combinations that I think look great on this quilt. I also coordinated it with Kona cotton swatches to give you an instant palette! Below is a muted Southwest inspired color palette. The cinnamon … [Read more...]

Festhalle Quilt finish
I only made one quilt in 2018 and it's a special one! This quilt was made for a new baby cousin in the family.

Luckily, I received an adorable photo of my cousin on the quilt and she'll fit on it for quite a while. Phew! This quilt was unique in the fact that it was made entirely from scraps left from other projects. I had a lot of triangle trimmings left over … [Read more...]
Clara Milestone Quilt – Part 1
Milestone quilts are a concept that was first introduced to me by Kitty Wilkin (Night Quilter) at the 2018 QuiltCon in Pasadena, CA. She gave a wonderful lecture about different types of quilts you can make to mark milestones.

It was so fun to look at how her son grew as the quilt grew! A bit before QuiltCon I found out I was … [Read more...]
