It’s looking more like January at the cottage today.

Schools are closed and the spouse is working from home so it’s a full house. In between knocking down icicles and sledding I caught a few shots of the quilt I finished last night.

It’s been a year in the making. It’s made from the Half Square Triangle Block of the Month that Jeni shared on her blog last year.

Most of the fabrics I used are from Moda’s etchings line by 3 sisters.

There is also good selection from Bunny Hill’s Putting on the Ritz along with some bits from my stash including some French General and some repro prints. It’s bound with a cursive print from etchings.

Thankfully the wind didn’t blow the quilt away, but it tried.

broken fence quilt

fabric, freebird, moda, quilt

I just love this Freebird line from MoMo.  I also used it for the spots quilt that now lives with my mom.  The colors are rich, the patterns are bold, and what’s not to love about all of those different polka dots?

I based the block design on a traditional rail fence pattern, although those are usually more unified in color and made of staight lines.  That’s why I decided this is more of a “broken” fence for me.

The back has some more of the pieced blocks along the right side.  These block are next to a band of print that is one of my favorite pieces of fabric around.  I just love those big blue trees.

Inspired by the some the sashiko embroidery that’s been popping up around the interweb, I quilted it with chocolate brown thread in a ripple pattern, wider ripples at the top that get closer together as they spread out across the quilt.  I’m really pleased with the how well the wave effect turned out.

It’s listed at etsy and big cartel.

If you would like it to come live with you, just let me know.

hunky dory, moda, quilt

Lulu is in first grade and it seems they do a lot of fun work with different patterns.  She was playing around with blocks at home and came up with this.

We thought it would be a great pattern for a quilt.

I decided to go with Hunky Dory by Chez Moi for Moda.  Along with some solid ivory squares from a charm pack.

 

I love the way it turned out.

I did outline quilting to accentuate the blocks.

 

I’m especially pleased with the back.  I love those deep blues and bright pinks together.

It will be posted in shop by the end of the day.

freebird, moda, polka dots, quilt

Put Me In The Zoo has always been one of my favorite books.

I loved the illustrations as a kid and still love them today.  Luckily, both the kids love the story so we read it on a fairly regular basis.

When I saw the polka dots fabrics in the freebird line by MoMo fabrics for Moda, my first thought was of those polka dots flying across the sky.

I couldn’t resist making a quilt top with all those great big polka dots.

It’s quilted with a horizontal stripes with a chocolate brown thread.  Turns out, it’s going to go live at my mom’s house.

Here’s the back -

welcome

I like to make things, like cakes with lots of frosting, and quilts without patterns, and cookies with extra chocolate, and totes that are reversible, and loaves of bread, lots of bread, and also cups of tea.

mybricole, is a running journal of my projects. My own little cheatsheet for tracking what worked, and what didn't in a recipe or pattern.
