Baby Boy Fuzzy Wuzzies!

I have had several finishes in the last month or so but have to wait on delivery to recipients to share them. I was able to send one to its home last week and so here it is with its bonus quilt!
As I was ordering fabric on Etsy for some specific quilts I ran across a fabric scrap bundle of little boy fabrics.  On an impulse I bought one.  Haha, then I had to find something to make with them...they were just begging to be put to use!
A friend of mine is having a precious baby boy in May.  What a wonderful project, a baby quilt!! I saw a simple baby quilt for sale on Etsy that was just half square triangles with a super soft fuzzy backing.  I took it as inspiration and started making half square triangles! I did add in a few fabrics from my stash too.  I didn't get many pictures in progress, just one of the quilting.   I did it on my treadle, just simple diagonal lines.
I wanted to use up the lovely fuzzy minky from a previous project you may remember...wink, wink.  I did a simple flip and stitch instead of using a binding.  Anywho, it turned out cute and I was able to drop it off.
In my planning I totally miscalculated the long way on how many half square triangles I needed.  Sooo, I went ahead and put together another little baby quilt!  I purchased some fuzzy blankets at the farm store a few months back that were on clearance.  I used one to make a fuzzy backing for this bonus quilt as well!
Please excuse the unmade bed. But here it is.  I did a diamond quilting around the center for this one.

This shot is a little more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than our unmade bed! Haha! Not sure what I will do with it yet.  Perhaps someone else will be expecting soon or maybe I will try my hand at Etsy selling. We'll see! What do you think?

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times I had to stop and find more squar

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended up receiving it wanted something more.  She f

Hello, Jellyfish Wedding Quilt

Image
My babiest brother got married in March! So crazy! So happy for them! They were planning to get married this coming August but decided to just have a small courthouse wedding earlier. I thought I had time to get a wedding quilt made but not with the change. I asked for their preferences and got started. Request: he likes green, she likes pink and wanted some jellyfish. Here are the fabrics I went with, plus white and teal rocks. I found another quilt I liked on SuzyQuilts website. It was a bit more of a modern pattern, which I thought fit my sister in law a bit better. Ready, set, go! These pictures are a little out of order, oops!   I tried just figuring the pattern out myself so I wasn't sure how my measurements would come out. It came out really long! I ended up trimming part of the top and bottom as well as adding a vertical border. Simple blocks! I am feeling so much better about the tension of my quilt parts on the rollers. It gave me the confidence to try a new design! Yay!
