Heartfelt Quilt Along - Buttercup Blocks

 It's Month 2 of the Heartfelt Quilt Along and I am just loving making these Heart Blocks!!!  This is Fat Quarter Shop's 9th Annual Charity Quilt Along and they are always my favorite :)     The 1st Friday of each month will be a new release for blocks and today are the Buttercup Blocks.   And how fun are these in scrappy goodness!!!

I am such a huge fan of the Graphite Cross Weave background with my Flirt fabrics by Sweetwater.  I just love how the prints just really pop on it, and I also love the bonus texture it adds to the project!!!   I am just so excited to see this one come together!!! 

So are you joining in with the Heart Felt fun???   You can download the block pattern right here and it is requested for each pattern you download to donate $5.00  to the Make a Wish Foundation :)  And I am super excited to say that even though it has just started,  Fat Quarter Shop's annual charity QAL has already raised over $69,000!!!  The goal is $1000,000 which will allow for 16 wishes to be granted.  How awesome is that!!!  And Moda Fabrics and Fat Quarter Shop have joined to match up to $30,000 :)  So many amazing wishes :)

Be sure to share all of your Heartfelt progress on social media with #heartfeltqal and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for the Buttercup Blocks for lots more Heart Felt Inspiration!!!  And you can check out the Buttercup Blocks You Tube Tutorial here ;)

Jelly Sizzle Short Cut Quilts!!

 I am super excited today to share some more Short Cut Quilt finishes!!!  You all now how much I love to make the Short Cut Quilts so when Fat Quarter Shop asked if I wanted to make their latest Short Cut quilt called  Jelly Roll Sizzle, it was an absolute yes!!!    And how fun is this quilt!!   

Jelly Roll Sizzle goes together super fast and it comes in multiple size options.  This is the Twin Size, but there is also a crib, lap, and a queen size available.  And as you can tell by the name, it is Jelly Roll Friendly ;)  You can find the free pattern right here , grab a Jelly Roll, and get started right away!! 

 And you all know that I love to make quilts for my Alma Mater, SUU,  so a Modern Paper Jelly Roll   paired with lots and lots of red scraps from my stash were just perfect for this project!!!  And don't you just love the pop of the pinwheels!!!  I did them in solid Black as well as the binding, and it just looks so great on the scrappy background ;)  

When it came time to quilt it, I opted for some fun custom quilting!!  I quilted pebbles in the pinwheels and I love how the red thread just pops on them :0  Then I alternated between wishbone and ribbon candy on the stripes.   This quilt was oh so much fun to quilt!!  

And I had so much fun with the first, I couldn't stop and whipped up a Jelly Roll Sizzle quilt in the crib size!!  Isn't it just so cute ;)   I had this Junior Folktale Jelly Roll from my Sew Sampler Box and it had the perfect amount of strips for the crib size, so of course, it was totally meant to be!!  

And it turned out just so adorable!!!  And I used some Dear Stella Hearts that I had stashed away for the pinwheels and they just turned out oh so adorable ;)  Oh, and I have to say,   I totally love this size quilt for wrapping over baby in the car seat :)

And this one I quilted with an all over loose feather.   This design goes so fast, and with such a small quilt, I think I spent more time loading the quilt on the long arm then I did actually quilting it ;)  To funny!!!   But it came out just so soft and pretty!!!

And those are my Jelly Roll Sizzle quilts!!!   And I just have to say again how much I love, love, love Short Cut Quilts!!!     Thanks Fat Quarter Shop for another great one and be sure and watch the video tutorial for an easy step by step demonstration of making this quilt!!!     

    

Thanks for popping in today and sharing these finishes with me.   

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

Moroccan Lullaby Baby Size

I am getting ready to head out to the Snow Goose Quilt Show in Delta Utah for the weekend.  I am so excited :)  This is my first time teaching at this retreat and I know it is just going to be so fun!!!   I am teaching my Nordic Nights Class as well as my Moroccan Lullaby Class.   I haven't taught Moroccan Lullaby in a little while, so I decided I needed a new sample so I would have a quilt to go on the table.   So I whipped up this little Baby Size Moroccan Lullaby . . . Isn't it just so cute!!! 

I had a few Fat Eighth's of Lella Boutique's Little Miss Sunshine fabric just sitting in my stash waiting to be used.  Paired with a white Ombre Dot from V and Co. and it just came out so adorable!!!   I even had just enough left to make a scrappy binding ;)  

And when it was all done, I had to laugh as I managed to pretty much pick the same color scheme as the original.   Apparently, this quilt just likes these colors ;)   And all the better as now they will both be matching in  class ;)  

This is such a fun quilt to make.  I really do love making Lattice Blocks using the No-Waste method.  It is so great to get the perfect block every time and only have to throw a tiny bit of trimming away.  Love it!!!   And now I totally want to make another Moroccan Lullaby 2 baby quilt in these same colors just reversing the prints and backgrounds ;)  

And of course, I finished up the quilt a little while ago, but then totally forgot it still needed to be quilted.  So yesterday I whipped up some all over swirls.  This is such a fun design to quilt and it is super fast too, which was good, as ya know, it is now being packed today ;)  

And that is my new Moroccan Lullaby Baby quilt ;)   I am just so happy with how it came out and can't wait to share it in my class tomorrow afternoon!!  

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend and whip up some of your own quilts!!!
