Quilt- A -Rama Part 2

 Good morning!
Two days this week , there was a lot of quilting going on! We finished my twin size string quilt out of the farmers daughter jelly rolls..2 jelly rolls, one white jelly roll and some black gingham yardage .. I use the quilt as you go method where you sew the strips onto batting .. it was easy and fun ..when you attach the backing you just quilt the back with big squares ... Love this quilt!

 Chelsea and I also sewed up 3 baby quilts .. one rag quilt from Homespun .. 2 layers of homespun with a piece of batting inside each ..

another farmy baby quilt from this charm pack ..red gingham binding and backing ..

the rag quilt before cutting and washing..

 Here are the 3 baby quilts.. an awesome viewer of our You Tube channel  sent Chelsea some baby fabrics with bunny and sheep that we used on the 3rd quilt ..we added some black gingham and yellow gingham ..and it is just the sweetest! We did a scrappy binding on that one using all the fabrics..

 There is still a power struggle around here over who is top dog ..

You can see the quilts , and how they are displayed in my home tour video ..

  If you would  like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

Quilt-A-Rama!

Good morning! There has been some quilting happening around here!I was the lucky recipient of a jelly roll from Fran .. one of our Floss tube viewers.. Thank you again Fran if you read my blog ...it was so kind of you to send that!)so I had to get busy and use that Jelly roll.. :)

I bought 2 white fabric jelly rolls from Joanne Fabrics.. ( who knew they had those ) :)and one more of the Vintage Picnic Rolls to make this twin size quilt .. we made it in 2 days ..could have probably made it in less time but I ran out of fabric and ordered the 2nd jelly roll.. I stitched them on muslin squares ..Chelsea is doing hers on freezer paper but I didn't like that ..so muslin squares were easier for me . This is so easy to make because you go right to sewing .. the only cutting is after you make the squares. 

 I bought the backing fabric at Joanne fabrics .. not a perfect match but its pretty and spring /summer colors.. I love this quilt and have it draped on the back of the living room sofa ...Chelsea suggested I use the strips sewn together for the binding so that is what I did .. for the quilting I machine quilted the big squares and that is it.. I might go back and do a little more I haven't decided ..

 This is Chelsea's string quilt fabrics that she is using .. I am looking for this fabric now to make another quilt with a jelly roll .. This line of fabric is Farmers Daughter.. so pretty!

The quilt I made before that is this one in all the vintage farmhouse looking prints.. muted florals , ticking stripes and gingham fabrics.. I bought all this at Joanne fabrics.. by the time I used my coupons and the sale prices it was very inexpensive.. this is also a twin size quilt .. this one hangs out in the family room ..and Ronnie thinks they are all hers.. I used fabric I had for the back .. a steel grey ticking stripe and red gingham for the binding.

at that same time Chelsea made her red , white and blue quilt ..

 and here is Daisy in Chelsea's sewing room showing it off..she used blue checks for the backing , and red gingham for the binding ..

 it is beautiful! When we make these quilts it is a team effort .. so we both made all of these..

 Lastly the 2 rag quilts and rag quilt doll blankets for Chelsea's stepdaughters... they turned out so pretty! She bought 7 yards of flannel for each ..we cut 9 inch squares and used flannel on the front and back with no batting .. I think I would like to try and make one with 3 layers of flannel.. so that is it !
