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
Stunning! I remember when you told me you weren't into solids--I'm glad you've changed your mind. These colors look terrific!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on all four quilts! Its difficult picking a favorite... though I enjoy the bicycles & scooters most being a cyclist and all :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow, 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.
ReplyDeleteWell done, you have been busy
ReplyDeleteThat baby boy one has lovely colours. You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteFour 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 :)
ReplyDeleteBusy Bee Nadine: well done; all quilts are beautiful
ReplyDelete4 quilts already this year? Crazy! They look lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWow, 4 amazing quilts in one month! Well done :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful 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.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE backyard baby!!! It's beaUtiful. and who can resist scooters? I have a scooter play quilt that I've posted today. Congrats on your finishes.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts! I love the solid triangles one.
ReplyDeleteThese are all just beautiful! I'm a huge fan of Backyard Baby too!
ReplyDeleteyour HST quilt looks so good with how you have arranged the coloured triangles!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great - I especially like the Simply Color quilt! You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, so many gorgeous finishes! I love your style and the colours/fabrics that you use. Beautiful work and I wish you best of luck with your shop :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the triangle quilt. Made one on similar thoughts last year. Beautiful.
