The Baby Quilt

Originally I was going to self-bind this quilt, but I did 2 sides and didn't like the way it was turning out. Specifically since the back is fleece and it was stretching in funny (bad) ways. So I undid the self-binding that I had done and cut off the excess and instead sewed on the the silky baby blanket binding. It looks kind of shiny and white in the picture but it is a pale green. I am really glad that I finally finished the blanket. Hurray!! Now I'm on to other projects on my list.

Here is the front of the quilt.

Here is the back of the quilt.

My Jean & T-Shirt Quilt

This quilt was also a Personal Progress project. Basically I took all my t-shirts from my various activities such as Girls Camp, Cheerleading, EFY, etc. and cut out the front and back images and pieced them together to make a quilt. Some of the corners are unorthodox but it worked out pretty well. The back is a solid piece of denim; my Mom used to work a jean factory in Spokane, WA and bought a large bolt of demin before she left. This is a nice and heavy blanket that I love to curl up in.

Royce's Quilt

I made this quilt about 6 or 7 years ago for my brother Royce. It was one of my Personal Progress projects for church. My mom received a bunch of fabric from a friend whose friend had died and in that fabric was a bunch of polyester fabric of varying colors and textures and I decided that I wanted to make a quilt with it all and this is the final result. The back is purple fleece and I edged it with a yellow bias tape. It's a nice light weight blanket but it's a warm blanket.
