Pinwheel Sampler: Baby's Quilt #2

My little girl is going to get another quilt, this one very girly :) I am going to make it out of the Meadow Friends by Deb Stain for Moda line. The tutorials are all from the PS I Quilt blog. I am making this quilt as a part of a quilting class I am taking. I thought it was about time to learn to do triangles... So without any further ado, here are the first 4 squares I made:

"Enormous Pinwheel" from this tutorial

This is "Framed Pinwheel" from this tutorial. I modified it slightly, since I am making 8" finished instead of 12" finished blocks.

"Windmill Pinwheel" from this tutorial.

"Simple Pinwheel" from this tutorial. I loved making this one, although I have to say, nothing simple about it!

Here is all four of them together:

I like the way it is turning out. I am making it small, so that it actually is usable for the baby. I am going to make it 3x3 or 3x4 blocks, depends on how many pinwheels i feel like making :) The scraps I have left are all so pretty, I need to come up with another project to use them all up.

Fence Rail (aka Max's) Quilt

My fence rail quilt is on the way. I picked a very easy design, with some really fun fabrics that I love. I also plan to quilt this one diagonally, as opposed to in the ditch, so it should be interesting. Right now I have all my squares cut up and ready to be put together into a top. The layout is pretty intricate, so it is going to be interesting. I hope I don't mess it up! Check out all the cool colors!

Play Quilt: Done! Done!! Done!!!

It is done!! I finished completely last night!

This is what the finished quilt looks like

Folded up

I even like the binding!

Here is some quilting detail

I love this picture :)

Rolled up!

My Most Recent Project: Farmer's Wife Quilt Along

Here is my latest undertaking:

For the quilt along, I am supposed to make 2 blocks per week. There are 111 blocks, so it should take me 56 weeks, although I am getting a late start. Here is a link to the flickr group.

I am going to use the scraps I have, supplementing them with some fabrics from my local quilt shop. I am using the same color scheme as the book and I did realize that that I have way too many pastels and not enough dark fabrics, so I may have to supplement quite a bit. So look out for updates on this!

Synchronized Squares: Finished Top!!

I JUST finished this! (Yes, at 2am :) ) Look look!

Sorry the picture is kind of bad, I need to take another one with better lighting. Now I need to buy batting and quilt this!! Any good ideas as to how to quilt this?

Synchronized Squares: Progress

Well after a late night last night, I have some progress to show for my synchronized squares quilt:

Stack of all the prints sewn onto the solid

This is how they all will be cut up

All of them are cut up

And one of the squares all sewn together

I am still working on on sewing the squares together. Then onto the quilt top. I am supposed to be finished today.... Oops!

Synchronized Squares: All Cut Up!

Look at my pretty fabrics!

Here are all the prints cut up (7.5"x7.5"):

And these are all the fabrics. I am going to use the red Christmas trees fabrics for backing, green for binding, and white layer cakes for background.
