KatyQuilts

As a reward for moving ahead on the ABC quilt, I did a bit of work on these economy blocks.

Red is my favorite color, but I don’t have as much on hand as I thought. I think I used it all up on this quilt .

So this is where I am at. I thought this would scratch the itch for this idea; but, it hasn’t. I think it’s too small. I’ll need to cut a few more blocks.

Have a great day!

I’ve decided to go with this simple layout.

I do want to add a border to make it bigger. These are the two options that I have on hand.

I’m leaning toward the polka dots.

Here is a closeup of the appliqué.

I initially planned to make a twin sized quilt, but I think it will be a throw quilt instead. I want him to drag it around and use it up!

Have a great day!

My sweet, Little L has a birthday coming up. I knew I wanted to make an alphabet quilt for him, though I didn’t have a plan. I still don’t. But I appliquéd these blocks while I was still in AZ and brought them back with me. I used the AccuQuilt Carefree Alphabet die and the free embroidery files that come with to appliqué the letters.

I intentionally cut the blocks at odd angles, though some look way too straight.

I had some random blue bits on the cutting table, so I cut some alternate squares from them.

It might work. Those corners though… Time to get back to work.

WAIT! Before I go, AccuQuilt has some amazing sales right now! You know I’m always looking for a deal. 😁 Well, they have a bunch of Studio dies at Overstock prices of up to 70% off!

As you can see, they have other great deals as well, but I’ll be shopping studio dies this week. Although, that new fox die is adorable!

Have a great day!

Remember the blue pieces I set aside from my scrap bucket? I cut them up!

These blocks finish at 6 inches.

I’m not sure how many more I’ll make, but this will probably not be a big quilt.

Have a great day!

I had a bit of an idea….not a full blown idea, mind you. Just an inkling. But I decided to start, thinking the rest would come.

Hmmm…. I still don’t feel like I’m any closer. Only the seam on the far left is sewn. None of the circles are fused yet.

I’ve got lots thinking to do.

Have a great day!

Well, turns out I had more than enough string bits for my String Theory quilt, and then some.

I decided to sew them like a jelly roll race quilt.

And I ended up with this. Hmmmmm……not sure where to go from here.

But my string box is still full.

Have a great day!

Well, it’s on the frame! And it has been quilted once….

Removed from the frame, reloaded, and the second quilting is under way!

Have a great day!
