What kind of quilt are you making?  |
|
 Anyone make any new quilts lately?
I'm working on finishing a baby quilt for my brand new nephew. My SIL has his room decorated with baby animals, so I found some adorable material with all kinds of baby animals on it. I found accent colors in blue, brown and yellow. It is turning out to be so cute!
My next project will be for my youngest dd. She wants a new quilt for her bedroom in orange, teal and yellow! It may not sound like the best colors to work together, but I bought a couple jelly rolls in those colors and they look great together! Now I just have to have her pick out what she wants it to look like!
What are you working on?

1.  byfaithonly (5703) | 10 months ago |  Afraid I haven't quilted in years but keep saying I'm going to get back into it.
I'm crochetting mostly now and am currently working on a special order baby afghan - purples & gray with butterflies.

| Bev1986 (1188) | 10 months ago | I made several crocheted afghans years ago, but haven't done much crocheting in years! So we're the opposite!
Purples and grays sound great together. I want to make a quilt for my SIL (the mother of the new baby) that looks like butterflies. I bought all the material, but her birthday isn't till October, so I have a while for that one! It will have all batik material that looks like stained glass, and then I'll do a black trim around each block. I have a beautiful pattern for paper piecing butterflies. I know she'll love it!
Have fun with the baby afghan!

| byfaithonly (5703) | 10 months ago | Sounds a lot like my crocheted blanket. 2 shades of purple in squares, the lighter purple squares all have a butterfly crocheted right into the square, each square is framed in grey then a grey border around all. It looks like the squares are in fancy picture frames because I used a different stitch for that.
I've now finished that but turned right around and got order for 2 sets (blanket and pillow) but both are all white with white satin trim. This same lady has purchased 10 or so sets from me over the last year. | |

| Bev1986 (1188) | 10 months ago | Yep, you're right! I am always working on one for someone! I just find it very relaxing and rewarding. Sometimes, I'll see a pattern and immediately I think of someone that I'd like to make a quilt for!

| 3. Modestah (7475) | 10 months ago | I am really in awe of people who do quilting. I wish I had had someone close to me to teach me and guide me to doing it, I would like my daughter, also, to learn the art. What is a jelly roll? | |

| creematee (1636) | 10 months ago |  Hi Meodestah...
To answer your question, a jelly roll is a bunch of fabrics cut in 2 inch lengths x the width of the fabric. I believe there are 30-50 strips in a jelly roll. The name is for how they are sold. All rolled up like it's namesake. It looks like a cinnamon roll, or an old fashioned lollypop when they are done.

|
| Bev1986 (1188) | 10 months ago | Yep, she's right! It looks like a jelly roll... I love them cause then I don't have to cut them as much! lol! I even purchased a couple of books with patterns especially for jelly rolls... | |

| 4. creematee (1636) | 10 months ago | Sounds like you've been busy!:) I have fabrics picked out to make a garden maze quilt for our bed. The focal fabric is a pretty orange, red and yellow leaf pattern. The "paths" are a yellow and orange to match. I'm really excited about it, but still, not excited enough to start cutting.
I also have a lonestar cut out made out of a cute print I found. It's a kalediscope of little animals marching along. I really do need to finish this one up. I don't know what I'll do with it when I'm done, but it will be a fun experience. | |

| Bev1986 (1188) | 10 months ago | I just checked out the garden maze pattern and it's really nice! That's not one I had seen before. Orange, yellow and red would make a nice quilt! | |

| 5. quiltedblessings (869) | 10 months ago |  Well, I just finished a set of pot holders, and now I'm finishing the quilting on my zoo quilt. Then I have another quilt top ready to quilt, but I need to figure out the backing first. LOL
I want to start a new quilt, but I told myself I need to finish at least 2 already started quilts before I can start a new one.;O)

|
| creematee (1636) | 10 months ago | That's a great idea... finish what you started. I have always wondered why my UFO pile is bigger than my finished pile. LOL!:) | |

| 6. simplyshawn (366) | 8 months ago |  I am just beginning on this "making a quilt" adventure! I have one big baby quilt all sewn, except I want to add more to the border and have to buy some tan material, so that one is on hold, but almost finished. This one is a nine patch, mainly navy, tan and a plaid of black, blue and tan. It's my favorite so far.
I've got another big baby quilt started that is a nine patch, mainly white, mauve and a plaid of gray, mauve and white. I know white is not the best choice for a baby blanket, but that's how it is.
These two quilts I will for sure take them to my MOPS group to be tied and then we will donate them to a shelter in our area.
I just started another quilt the block is some sort of a start in the middle and a log cabin around the outside. Someday I'd like to make it a red, white and blue quilt as in the book. I'm making my quilt as purples, dark greens, and rose print with these colors and the background is white. I think it will be very pretty when it's done.
I'm learning a bunch with this one also, but that's another post. Over all I'm having a good time with it.
