When you Ask Grandma for a Quilt, You get a Quilt !

 Last year for the holiday's I did three quilts for three of the Grands.

Well, the oldest did not receive one of the new quilts last year !  April at his birthday he asked for a quilt for Christmas.

So, I've collected fabrics and this is my starting off place.

Now, the four basics.

Adding the Grandma fun !

No solid background for this one !

Grand #1's finished line up, here I go ! !

Crazy Paisley Fabric and What to Do with It

 I picked up this paisley recently and I love it. Bold, colorful and ready for a quilt.

It's a 100% cotton and after washing it, it became very soft, I ironed and used a bit of spray starch to make cutting easier.

I like doing patterns the old way sometimes and this is my start.  I'm sure it will go to the computer, but sitting in my sewing room watching the world go by, I enjoyed the process.

Here's how the fabric is coming together, I think it will be a pieced and applique quilt.

Paisley Quilt using Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern

I was recently asked about this quilt.

Measures 50" x 50"

The topic was brought up about colors, styles and patterns. Quilter's color is fun, color does not have to always be matching, Try something new ! ! You will love it.

I don't think, I think outside the box,

I think I do what I like and when I like it, that is all that matters.

I made this to be washed all the time, it's the couch quilt.
It's machine pieced and hand quilted, with pearl cotton thread, so the stitches are a bit bigger, but not huge.

It's a very simple log cabin style pattern.

 

The plaid fabric is from a gift I received and the paisley is just what I like.

I cannot say, this enough, Don't over think a Quilt, do it !

Sew Happy,
Beth
