Easy Peazy, Lemon Squeezy Wedding Quilt

This year started off with a wedding for us. My baby sister got married January first. I had not gotten hers made ahead of time either. So this spring I did it first. I finally got it into her hands and can share.
Her wedding decor was fun and citrusy with lemons, limes and oranges! So she went ahead and requested lemons for their quilt. I was able to pull together enough yellow and greens from my stash, even a yellow corduroy in there.
She found this quilt by Cotton & Joy  It was my inspiration. 
I have done some curved piecing but not a lot. I should be better now! There are ALOT of curved pieces in a lemon! Haha!
Leaves too!

We had lots of snow for a long while around here. My little helper played pretty good when I brought it inside.
Woo-hoo for Miss Vivian making the quilting process faster! I did a little different pattern on this one.
This is just such a happy, bright quilt!

I was able to quilt their names and wedding date into part of the quilt.

And here she is!!


I found this lovely lemon print from Hobby Lobby.

Hard to believe she is old enough to be married! I loved watching her grow up, but it went so fast. Praying for many happy years for them together!

      Thanks! I really hit them hard and fast! We are building a new house and moving so it will slow down drastically I am afraid. At least for awhile!
      I really didn't notice any difference in quilting the corduroy. Those seams were a bit bulkier but not a problem.

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!
