Quilting Odds and Ends

 Okay, so there are three quilts I want to talk about here. This is the first. It is the second one of the quilt tops I am working on quilting right now.


This quilt pattern is called Pivot, by Modern Handcraft. I fell in love with the pattern and I had this bundle of fat quarters so I decided to jump in and make it. I pieced it about a year ago and then it languished on a hanger in the closet. I am happy to say it is pin basted and is the next quilt I am going to quilt. Hope to start it this weekend.

This is the quilt I made from Sunday Morning Quilts. It is the High Five quilt. I quilted it very simply on the horizontal and the vertical lines. I needed a quick finish and I love it!
Some yardage was used and some scraps from my bins as well. I do love the colors in this quilt.

And we call this the Jon Snow quilt, since the backing is all white cats. N loves to use this quilt when she is here.

This quilt doesn't have a name yet. It is a 16 patch. I was sitting here looking at my pink and white checkerboard quilt one day, thinking I'd like to make another, but not quite the identical quilt.
My husband's baseball cap matches this quilt perfectly, don't you think?

I had the floral light green print, but not enough to make the whole quilt I wanted to make. I ordered some Kona ice frappe after checking my color card against the green print. When it arrived it was way too blue.

So I tried again and ordered Kona mint. It's a little hard to see here, but it's perfect actually. The ice frappe did not go to waste. I am using it for the back and for the binding.

The back is made, and when this quilt's turn comes up, I will quilt it up. I already know how I want to quilt it. Kind of. But this is number 4 and I am just getting ready to start number 2 so it will be awhile. I know I will love it when it's done.

Have a great 4th of July holiday.

I enjoyed seeing all your quilt projects.. You have been busy . Good luck getting all the quilting done. You did a good job sorting out all the colours.
I think need to do a bit of catching up on quilt tops, too.
