Rainbow Plus Quilt

This past weekend I wanted to do a project that was simple and quick.  Also with fabric I already had on hand.  I had enough batting for a small baby quilt so baby quilt it was.  I have really been wanting to make a quilt with Riley Blake's Tone on Tone Dots for awhile and thought this would be the perfect project.

My supply for the Pink was running low so I just left it out which worked out well for the pattern I used.  Speaking of the pattern I used the Inside Out Quilt pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew.  It really is two patterns in one with the plus quilt being the other pattern.

The cutting instructions are for charm packs or a layer cake but I just cut 5" stripes and then cut the required size of fabric from there.  Pretty simple!  The piecing went by really fast.  I love chain piecing!!

I chose a Medium Rainbow Chevron for the back.  I kinda wished I had the large chevron but Medium will do. I struggled a little on how to quit it.  I tried a few different things at first but ended up pulling it out and opting for straight straigtish stitching.  Straight line quilting is like the little black dress...you can never go wrong with it on a quilt.

The rainbow dot fabric was perfect for the binding.  I love how bright and fun this quilt is.  It stitched up quick and with out any headaches.  A huge Plus in my book! I also put the quilt in my shop and can be purchased here Rainbow Plus Quilt

I think next I will do the Inside Out Pattern with these 

Happy Quilting

Riley Blake Small Dots

The Small Cotton Dots are in from Riley Blake Designs and I can't wait to make something out of them.

They are now available in my shop!

I also am getting restocked on Chevron (small) and the rest will be in on Monday.

They sold so quickly it made my head spin a little bit.

A big thanks to Applique Market for mentioning me on Facebook.

They sell very cute applique patterns like this

Everybody has been so excited about these fabrics, there are just so many ways you can use them.

Have a great weekend sewing!

Trying to Finish

This quilt top has been finished for a couple of weeks and just hanging on my design board.  Since school has started back up I've had precious little time to sew.  I decided to take the day off from the ToDo list and just concentrate on finishing this quilt.

Of coarse other things get in the way like grocery shopping, making lunch, and the US Open (exciting matches today).  All I had left to do was piece the back (check), Iron quilt back (check), make quilt sandwich (working on it), and figuring out how to quilt the dang thing (scratching my head).  Hopefully I can at least start quilting it today.  Come tomorrow I turn back into a pumpkin and must get some school work down.  Sometimes I wish I could just make time stop for a few hours so I could squeeze in a little more sewing time.

 

My Helper

Once this quilt gets quilted and binded it will go up for sale in my Etsy shop.

SOLD!

New Riley Blake Chevrons

I'm so excited to finally get some of these fabrics in stock.  I ordered the small chevrons from Riley Blake and have yardage up for grabs here!  I also received the Rainbow Chevron in Medium.  It's such a fun fabric and I can't wait to use it for a quilt back.  I'm also looking forward to using the small chevrons for quilt binding and borders.

So hurry and get yours know before I decide to use it all up.  Available by the yard and as fat quarter bundles.  There are also plenty of other cute things in my etsy shop so stop by and check it out!!!
