#021 and #022 - Z is for Zoo baby quilts

Several people are having babies.  I saw this fabric and thought it would be fund to make a couple more baby sized quilts.  New techniques are the first time working with a panel and using flannel for the backing.  Also, I quilted elephants, lions and giraffes in the quilting.  A lot of tracing practice went into learning how to do these correctly.  I made two quilts with the Z is for Zoo fabric.








one of these quilts is available on Etsy.

#020 - Baby Quilt - August C+S

I've had this layered cake for awhile.  After I decided to put quilts up for sale, I figured I could do a fun baby quilt and post it online.  I wanted to try an all over concentric circle motif with my quilting that I saw from Angela Walters free motion quilting challenge.  So I pieced this quilt mainly to practice the quilting.  New techniques with this quilts are mainly the quilting motif.






#019 - Wolf Abstractions - First ETSY sale

I have to say that this pattern by Violet Craft was probably the most fun pattern I've ever made.  The large paper pieced pattern was pretty easy to make.  I love trying new techniques for each quilt I make.  This one was the first that I did in all solid fabrics and the first with a minky backing.  I've heard of people having issues with a minky backing when quilting, but I didn't have any problems.

I loved doing specific quilting for each section of the quilt.  The result is probably my favorite quilt I've ever made.  I nicknamed him Bane the Wolf.





So, I've started making too many quilts.  I figured the best thing to do was to try to sell on Etsy quilts that I don't have a recipient for.  After only being on Etsy 1 month, this quilt sold!  I'm happy that I had my first sale!  I hope the purchaser of the quilt loves it.
