Rain and clouds quilt

-

 Another rain and clouds quilt, after I made those four before. I used some pink, grey and white for the clouds, rainbow colours for the rain and a navy background. The back fabric was a funky „my little pony“ themed bright gem. Unlike the four earlier quilts, I did not follow any stitching lines for the quilting - I used regularly spaced 4” lines at an angle. I like this much better, it mirrors falling rain during a windy day.

The quilt was finished with a navy border. Final size is 96cm by 115cm (38in by 45in).  This quilt was donated to Project Linus Queensland chapter.

Little red riding hood granny square quilt

This quilt was made up based on this free tutorial . I used 12 strips of a fairy tale themed jelly roll with white background fabric to create the granny square quilt. I love how the blocks come together, it’s a great project if you only have some time here and there.  To get the size requirements right, I only made 12 blocks. Each block is 9“ before sewing and 8.5“ after sewing. I used 3“ strips (finished width 2 1/2“) in between squares. I used a donated fabric From Project Linus for the backing and a cherry red binding. I quilted around the blocks as well as a smaller square inside the block. Final size is  90cm by 118 cm (36“ by 46“).

With the remainder of the jelly roll used for this quilt with the addition of some solid fabrics, I made a stoplight quilt. The PDF of this free pattern can be downloaded  here . I’ve sewn up a total of 30 blocks, arranged in 5 rows and 6 columns. The final dimension of the quilt is 92cm by 126cm (36 inch by 50inch).  I used some funny pug fabric and some leftover blocks from the diamond quilt for the back.
