Project 365 Day 4

My mom bought fabric to help me make the boy's matching quilts for their beds.  Well the colors and fabric will be matching but we were gonna make them 2 different quilt patterns.  Since they are in the same room and stuff.  And then I'll make them a pillowcase with their initials on it or something also. 

Here's what we got so far: 

Gonna take awhile to make them since they are gonna be twin size but their rooms will look nice once done.

Happy New Year!! Project 365, Day 1

Happy New Year!!!  I've decided I'm gonna try and blog everyday about something, whether it's just a picture I took of the kids that day or something little.  We'll see how it works. 

Finished up the quilting on this baby quilt for a friend, still working on the binding but I should have that finished tomorrow.

And then here is one more picture from yesterday, Brody was down in the basement playing hockey and wanted to see what he looked like :)

Back to blogging and sewing projects!

Since I am unemployed at the moment, I'm getting back into blogging again.  Changed the name of the blog a little so I can showcase my sewing adventures!  God knows I love to sew!!!

Anyways, I'm making a baby quilt for a friend of mine, she picked out the fabric and I picked out the design.  I miss our friends in Arizona and since I couldn't be there to meet her cute little boy, I thought I'd make him something they could have forever!!! Chevron is a pattern that is everywhere these days and I couldn't wait to try it out!!  I got the idea from Missour Star Quilt Co. YouTube- Chevron Quilt Pattern.  It looked so easy and cute!  I'm a little behind in making it due to the holidays, but hey, it's better late then never right?!

Riley Blake- Peak Hour Charm Pack

This is the pack of fabric I ordered from a seller on Etsy.  Well actually I ordered 2 charm packs to get enough fabric.  Then I had to go get a solid color (white) for the contrasting spots.  I just went to my local JoAnn Fabrics for this.  Then I had to cut the white to match up in 5" squares with the rest of it.

 Once all the fabric was cut into squares, I had to draw a line diagonal across the squares and then sew on each side of it.  Once this was done, I had to go back and cut along that diagonal line, making it two separate squares.  One triangle white, one triangle pattern.  

 Once this was completed I had to iron them all flat so they could be put in a pattern and sew them together.  I used my bed to lay out the pattern, so I could see what it'd look like and try and space the colors out right to make it flow. 

Once it was up to my standards of color and pattern, it was time to sew it together!  That's when I got to this point.  I got the whole quilt top sewn together today.  I went to JoAnn's to get enough fabric for the back and the poly-fil for the middle of the quilt.  I also got the binding since I couldn't find any color fabrics there that I liked for the bindings.  These are the pictures of the finished quilt top.  I'll blog more once I'm done quilting the top and bottom together and then soon after that I'll bind it and it will be on it's way to it's new home!!

Enjoy!
