Last year, I made the Scrappy Corners quilt by Quilty Love as a baby gift. I used shades of purple since those were the nursery colors. 

Size:

Large throw size (60" x 72")

Fabric:

• Quilting cottons in various colors from Joann
• Dot minky backing from Joann
• Art Gallery Fabrics quilting cotton for the binding from Mad B's Quilt and Sew

Notes:

• I had the long-arm quilting done at Mad B's Quilt and Sew with bamboo batting.
• Before ultimately going with this Scrappy Corners pattern, I'd also contemplated using the Tiny Tile Quilt by Purl Soho. 

Ridges Quilt by Bookends Quilting

I had my eye on this Ridges Quilt pattern by Bookends Quilting when it was released, and I made it last year as a baby gift for a friend whose nursery theme included a mountain range mural in shades of green.

Size:

Throw size (60" x 72")

Fabric:

• Quilting cottons in various colors from Joann
• Dot minky backing from Joann

Notes:

• The quilt turned out well overall (save for a few places where if you look closely, the points don't match up the best) and I learned how to do half-rectangle triangles for the first time. 
• I had the long-arm quilting done at Mad B's Quilt and Sew, and picked out a topography pattern and used bamboo batting.

Color Theory Herringbone Quilt

I've had this herringbone quilt completed for probably a couple years, but similar to the denim Church Window quilt, I worked on it on and off for several years. 

Size:

Roughly throw size

Fabric:

• Charm packs of V & Co Color Theory fabric
• Gray ombre stripe fabric from V & Co Color Me Happy line
• White fabric from Joann
• Minky backing from a now-closed local shop

Notes:

• I had the long-arm quilting done at Mad B's Quilt and Sew, and went with bamboo batting.
• The quilt is made up of half-square triangles, so I didn't follow a purchased pattern and largely researched on Pinterest. 
• I think I sewed the binding on a little too tight, so the quilt doesn’t hang completely flat.

Denim Church Window Quilt by Lo & Behold Stitchery

This bed size denim Church window quilt by Lo & Behold Stitchery is the biggest quilt I've made so far!

The story behind this quilt is that for years, every time a pair of jeans got worn out (mostly my husband's, and to a lesser extent, my son's), we'd add it to a pile, and my husband's ask was for a denim quilt. He was envisioning a more simple quilt, and yet, I'm extra. So I chose a more involved (and in my opinion, dramatic) pattern. Although it took me probably 4 or 5 years of working on the quilt on and off, I finally finished and we used the quilt on our bed this past winter.

I started making this quilt when we had a queen size bed and we've since changed to a king size. Had I known that when I started the quilt, I might have added another column to the quilt, since right now, it is the exact width of a king size bed. Regardless, I'm pleased with how it turned out!

Size:

Bed (83" x 86")

Fabric:

• Blue denim from old jeans that we saved over the years
• White bull denim from Online Fabric Store
• Wideback flannel from Joann

Notes:

• I had the long-arm quilting done at Mad B's Quilt and Sew, and went with a woodgrain pattern that they recommended, as well as bamboo batting.
• Since some of the denim was stretch denim, I starched every piece of denim before cutting out the pieces for the top. It was a lot of work, but I think it helped the long-arm quilting process because the lady who did the quilting came out when I picked up the quilt and commented that it quilted nicely though stretch denim was involved.

Cars Quilt

Some years ago, I bought a Cars panel and coordinating fabric at a local quilt shop (which has since closed, sad face) to make a themed quilt for my son. I also got some additional coordinating Cars fabric on Etsy to have enough for a quilt. 

When I finally finished making it about five years ago, I was a little afraid that since it took me so long, he outgrew the theme, but he still seemed to like it and used the quilt regularly for a time. He's 10 now and his tastes have changed, but I still wanted to post this for documenting my finished makes!

Size:

Roughly throw size

Fabric:

Top and binding - quilting cotton

Batting - anti-pill fleece

Backing - minky

Notes:

• I went for a pretty simple design - all squares around the panel.
• I did somehow miscalculate the space around the panel, so I had to fill in some gaps with a solid cotton.
• I also did stitch-in-the-ditch quilting and did machine binding.
