Quilts - Completed

Modern Rose Garden Quilt.

Inspired in part by the art of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, the Modern Rose Garden quilt begins with simple rectangles and composes them into an eye-catching formal garden of interlocking lines.

Binding is a blue small floral print. Backed in an blue rose and ribbon print. Fabric is Flirt by Robyn Pandolph.

A pattern for this quilt will be available for sale later this week.

Garden Kaleidoscope Quilt

Starbursts of bold deco flowers seem to swirl and spiral at first glance, but on closer inspection resolve themselves to a stately garden of triangles and squares marching in formation. The playful but confident outlines and simple shapes are equally at home in a strictly traditional sunroom or a sixties-revival lounge.  (Sean’s descriptions crack me up!)

Binding is a coordinating multi-colored stripe. Backed in an light blue, yellow and red paisley. Fabric is Pop Garden and Bijoux by Heather Bailey.

This colorful quilt glows with a cheerful summertime vibe. Playful shades of red, green, purple, blue, orange and pink from Sandi Henderson’s Farmer’s Market collection form a lush rainbow of colors swirled and mixed together in a flock of whirlpools making up this eclectic and sunny quilt.

Binding is a coordinating multi-colored stripe. Backed in an lime and turquoise paisley. Quilted in a dense freehand circular pattern.

That’s it for the store this week.  I’m working on a custom order for the rest of the week.

First there was a crib quilt… then a full quilt… now curtains (2 panels, one in the picture here)…

… and two identical quilted shams.

Not the greatest pictures but a fun project to work on.

Circles quilt with Amy Butler’s Belle collection.

Modern florals, paisleys, and stripes in a lush rainbow of colors get swirled and mixed together in a flock of whirlpools making up this eclectic quilt.

(Sean has been writing my descriptions lately.  I think they are rather humerous.)

Wacky Park Slope Quilt.

A wild jumble of lines and colors give this quilt a certain boisterous energy. The “mod” squares give the illusion of depth and at the same time almost seem to vibrate, as though they’re trying to break free of the fabric and skitter across your living room.

Fabrics from Erin McMorris’ Park Slope collection. Binding is a pink floral swirl. Backing is a brown poppy dot floral. Quilted in a freehand zig zag pattern.

Farmer’s Market Squares Quilt on Etsy.

This colorful quilt glows with a cheerful summertime vibe. Playful shades of red, green, purple, blue and pink from Sandi Henderson’s Farmer’s Market collection brighten up the traditional log cabin pattern, creating a lap quilt at home in any sunny setting.

Binding is a coordinating multi-colored stripe. Backed in an olive green and pink paisley pattern.

All done!  Enjoy Amy!

Not the best pictures since it got stormy outside and we couldn’t really do them in the rain and wind.

This project will be finished up next week with curtians and pillow shams.

Keep it?  Sell it?  Keep it…  Sell it… I’ve decided to keep it.  It’s just too perfect for our family room.  I’d take a picture of it in the room to show you but it’s turned pitch black outside with some lovely summer evening thunderstorms.  Tonight had better light!

Trippy, bubbly, postmodern, whimsical (or maybe even poetic) quilt using Amy Butler’s Lotus collection and her new solids.

Words cannot explain the amount of fussy cutting/placing that went into this quilt.  When I started to point some of it out to Sean I think he thought I had completely lost it.

And on her bed.

I think she likes it.

So in case you find this in a Google search or just perusing around and you think you may want a quilt like this, I am (shockingly) willing to make it again.  You might just have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it though.

I still need to make the pillows, curtains and wallhangings.  I’ll post a picture of the whole room when I’m done.

Now that I’m done with the big part of this project, Baby Jane Fridays returns! Yay!

The crib quilt portion of the project is complete.  On to the full/queen quilt.

Freshcut Circles Quilt.

Perhaps from now on I should mention all quilts are made by Emily and Maeve.

More Mario on Etsy.

In the decades since his first Sisyphian pursuit of a huge barrel-chucking gorilla, Mario’s legacy has built into mythic status. It was inevitable that some glorious day his epic battles with the infamous goombas and formidable (for turtles, at least) koopa troopas would be immortalized in that most ancient of media, the Quilt.

In this smaller sibling of our Super Mario Hidden Level quilt, Mario finds a Fire Flower — and prepares to power up with fireball-flinging flower power!

So grab a power-up and relax underneath this heroic iconography to relive this most horizontal of sagas, or perhaps use it to decorate your own castle. Whether you are a princess or a plumber, or even an unfortunate mushroom named Toad, this life-size homage cannot help but inspire you on your own quest for a plumber or princess (or, well, whatever mushrooms quest for which we shan’t go into here).

Approximately 40 x 50 inches inches (101 x 127 cm).  Big enough for two little kids or one big kid.

Laurel quilt now on Etsy.  It feels so good to be finishing up some projects this week!

This is the fourth one and is now listed on Etsy.

See: First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, pattern.

Another quilt in Chez Moi’s Posh fabrics is now on Etsy (previous Posh quilt).

All done!  And this is the first post that is very happily not powered by a Windows machine.  Yay!

This is the third one and is now listed on Etsy.

See: First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, pattern.

New quilt on Etsy.  This was originally going to be my quilt but I made so many diamonds that I had enough for two quilts.

All done and on Etsy.

I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the quilt with a munchkin before they went to bed so I went into Mr. Liam’s room after he was asleep and had him pose for this. He snored through the whole thing.
