Fresh Sewing Day - First Finished quilts of 2013

Hello all,


I am participating in Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet to show off what I have just finished. Go check out her blog Lily's Quilts, it's absolutely inspiring.

So here it goes: I have finished the first 4 quilts of this year, hurrah, and used the snow outside today to take some pictures. (They are not perfect pictures, mind you, still with a slight blueish tint, but I was able to lighten them and I think they will have to do.)

So these are the first few baby quilts of the year. My stock in the quilt shop has dwindled a little bit and I am still determined to come up to 100 items in the shop, as that is supposed to be the magic number when items actually start to sell. So fingers crossed I will get there one day.

I have made one baby boy quilt using the Backyard Baby collection with little bugs in jars in blues and greens with a bit of orange. I absolutely love these fabrics, they are so soft and the designs are adorable.



I have also finished a baby girl quilt using the 'We are going places' collection by Timeless Treasures with little bicycles, cars and scooters in pink green and orange.

The next quilt is my absolute favorite, I adore the Simply Color collection by Moda, the fabrics are so bright and modern.



And the last quilt is made with the Kona Solids Dusty palette in Half Square Triangles. This would actually also make a really good wall hanging, not just a bay quilt.



I hope you like them. I will list all 4 of them in the shop soon.
Let me know what you think.
Love, Nadine


PS: I have already started on the next project, no rest for the wicked, so watch this space. This next quilt uses Lotta Jansdotter's Echo line.

  1. Stunning! I remember when you told me you weren't into solids--I'm glad you've changed your mind. These colors look terrific!

  3. Wow, four baby quilts in a month - well done! They are all very sweet, but I especially like the one with HSTs and solids. I think it has great movement and the colours are really nicely balanced as well.

  5. Four finishes! And they are all lovely. I especially like your simply colour quilt. I have a jelly roll and I've been wondering what to do with it. Good luck with making 100 things for your shop :)

  9. Wonderful finishes. I agree that the HST quilt would look great as a wall hanging. I can picture it now in one of those all white lofty studio conversions overlooking the Thames.
