WIP Wednesday- Triangles Baby!!

Tuesday, March 31, 2015

You got a sneak peak at this one a few weeks and now it is done!!


This gorgeous quilt was created using the See Kate Sew pattern and tutorial. I do not have pointy triangles but I think it still works. Kate just released a revised pattern piece (after I had my fabric cut) and I'll use that for my next triangle quilt...we all know there will be another!


This quilt took me a little bit of time because I didn't just use straight lines.I quilted one side of the triangle which created a diamond pattern on the back. I really like how it looks on the navy backing. I also like that it works as a crib blanket, floor blanket, toddler nap blanket, kid cuddle blanket and grown up lap quilt. The colours should work regardless of the decor of A's room.

 

This one has been mailed to a very special little guy who has already stolen my heart. Kills me that I won't get to snuggle him until May! I can't wait to share a photo of him all snuggled up in it.
 

This post is being shared over on Freshly Pieced.

WIP- Triangle quilt

Wednesday, February 4, 2015

Guilty! I found a quilt pattern that I love and made another one. T

his time for a very special baby boy. I used a mix of Kona solids and Kaufman Spot on Circle in Aqua and Navy.



Please excuse the photo...it isn't finished yet and this was the quilt laid out over my ironing table while I tried to figure out which way to quilt it. I'm pretty happy with my decision but you'll need to wait to see the finished product to know what I did!





The points aren't sharpe. See Kate Sew released a revised pattern to get those nice sharp points- two days after I cut a bazillion triangles. I'll use it the next time around because there are more babies coming (not mine) and this is the perfect baby, toddler quilt and then it makes a great lap quilt.

I'm linking this up over at Freshly Pieced! I love seeing all the different projects people have going. Lots of inspiration for sure!


WIP Wednesday

Look what I just finished :)




I LOVE this dress. It is beyond sweet. And looks adorable on the little who will be wearing it for her first communion  this weekend. I used a white Robert Kaufman for the main fabric and used Cottontails from the AGF Studio's Littlest Collection for the accent.

Here is my current selfish sewing (i.e not paid) project list. You'll notice this hasn't changed much from the last time. I've been really busy with A2 Designs orders but once I wrap up the last few projects I'm working on I'm going to take a break from orders to get my own stuff done. I do have a birthday party to plan and a wedding cake to make!

  1. Baby blanket for Rhys (fabric cut)
  2. Birthday dress for Miss K (fabric cut)
  3. Zigzag quilt for Amelia (fabric cut)
  4. Toddler top (fabric selected)
  5. Toddler top (fabric selected)
  6. PJ pants for Austin (He picked the fabric and will help sew them up!)
That list doesn't include my A Squared Designs work which gets done before the selfish sewing does.

So that's my WIP...what do you have on the go?
