Raw Edge Baby Quilt......Progress

Day 3.....Baby Quilts

I am piecing corner triangles 

onto all of the heart blocks

This quilt has turquoise triangles 

that create a block on point.

This quilt has gray triangles

Time to audition the inner border fabrics:

The center triangles begged 

for more gray fabrics...

I followed suit with the turquoise fabrics

I begin piecing the inner borders 

onto the quilt top...

Something is bugging me...

I start removing and replacing hearts on the quilt

on the right side of the photo.

This is what the quilt on the right side looks like now:

Ahhhh.....it doesn't bug me any longer.

I took all of the pinks out......much better.

More to Come!

Raw Edge......Baby Quilt

The fabrics are all pulled...

I am ready to begin creating the 

Baby Girl Quilt.

I am hoping these geometric fabrics will give 

the quilt a bit of a modern appearance.

I am cutting raw edge hearts...

in 3 different sizes

The hearts will be layered in this fashion.

I dove right in cutting background squares...

and designing the raw edge heart blocks.

I had so much FUN...

I am creating two baby quilts!

More to come tomorrow...

Inspiration for a New Quilt...

Sometimes I look back on some 

of my previous quilts 

for a bit of inspiration for my next quilt...

In 2008 I created this raw edge flower quilt

for my sister.

Quilt Label

I did some Back Art with the leftover fabrics.

This was so much FUN I made another one!

A raw edge heart quilt for my niece

Once washed, the quilt puckers up 

from shrinking...

the raw edges unravel...

it is yummy to cuddle up with!

10 years later.....graduating from high school.

In 2013 I made another raw edge quilt for our sweetie pie daughter in law:

Raw Edge Flowers

Even after making three....

these are still FUN to create!

I haven't made a raw edge quilt 

for quite some time.

I seemed to have enjoyed it...

I guess it is time to make another!

This raw edge quilt will be for a Baby Girl:

I went shopping in the Thread Shed cupboards...

This is as close as I could get to baby-ish fabrics.

Also in my cupboard, I found 3 yards of the 

white fabric w/dots 

for the background.

I cut a few raw edge hearts...

I have a game plan!

More tomorrow...

New York Beauty.....Back up on the Design Wall

I took this NYB off the design wall

last year when we painted the walls...

It's good to have it back up on the design wall...

it fills the room with color!

It is all set up on my sewing table:

The paper pieced arcs are complete.

I have a dozen of these blocks ready to piece...

Curved piecing.....one of my favorites!

The blocks I am piecing will go on the sides...

It's good to have you back
