I have two more finishes to share for this month.
The first quilt was started in 2025,
using the pattern Peanut Butter Quilt by Then Came June.
This is a free pattern and is so fun to make.
I had a lot of a backing fabric left over from one of my quilts
and thought it would be fun to use this fabric with a bunch of solids.
It sure is a colorful and happy quilt.
If I were to make this again,
I'd use a solid black or a fabric that reads black for the
corner stones It's all good, though.
This colorful fabric is one of my favorites for backings.
It comes in three colorways and I've used them all.
It comes in 108" wide, too, and can be found at
Whittles in all three colorways right now.
It's called Gradients Auras by Moda.
This next quilt was made with a jelly roll I've had for years.
It's not my usual color scheme at all, but I think I bought
it to make something for my mom and never did.
A friend has a blue and cream family room
and is going through some health issues,
so I made this for her.
This was totally mindless sewing and went together so quickly.
It will be delivered soon.
Lastly, I belong to the Gridster Bee and these blocks
are for January's Queen Bee.
The free pattern can be found here.
Happy Quilting!
Your first quilt is so happy looking! I adore the fabric you used, and will have Whittles in my saved links. I had not heard of them before. I went through a time when I pieced all of the backs of my quilts, making it almost like another funky quilt. Now, I just want to get them done!! I like the earth tones and blues - it's very calming. Did you sew two strips together, trim them to 5", flip the pieces and sew again?
ReplyDeleteMore finishes, yay!! That first one is so fun and colorful, I am sure someone will fall in love with it fast:)
ReplyDeleteSurprised you knew about Whittles. Thought it was Kentucky's (and Tennessee's) best-kept secret. Cant beat their prices, especially on their wide backs.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great fabric for backing, but it’s fun for the quilt front too. I love the blue quilt. There’s something so wonderful about the simple patchwork. Gorgeous bee blocks!
