Patchwork Quilt using Vintage Modern Charm Squares

I have been working on this quilt for over 2 months now and just could not finish it.  Over Labor Day weekend, I buckled down and finished not only this one, but another using the same fabrics.  Hurrah!


Here is the back:



It was fun to quilt once I finally figured out how I wanted it to look.

First Quilt Sale

I am so excited.  I sold my first quilt on Etsy...both my first quilt sale and my first quilt.  This one, the disappearing nine-patch.

I was starting to think that I would only be able to sell season-themed table runners.  Not that I mind sellign those, I just don't have the passion to make them as I do a quilt.  After selling it, I started to have seller's remorse, after all, it was my first quilt.  But I know it went to a good home and they will love it too!

All things bright and small

That describes my newest sewing project which is listed on my Mudpots shop on Etsy.  I used some fabrics that I picked up at Hobby Lobby in Auburn.  I really wish Hobby Lobby would find its way up to Northern Virginia!  I couldn't pass up these bright, happy colors and made a small stroller size quilt from them.



I used minimal quilting lines and really like how it came out.


The back is made from solid pink, green and black.

Summer Wave Quilt

I used the same fabrics that are in Nana's table runner to make a quilt.  I call it my Summer Wave Quilt.  It is bright, bold and fun to look at. 

I used the small navy print for the back and includced a pieced scrappy column.  It almost has a denim look to it.  I like it.
