What's on the Quilting Table #23

I made so many rag quilts that I ran out of batting.

So Tanya bought me a roll of batting and she told me I could cut some of it up.

So I sat down and cut blocks out my wife came back in the room and she asked what happened to the bolt of batting and I pointed at the box below.  I cut up the whole bolt!  As of the posting of this post I have emptied half of the basket out already may need a new bolt soon.

It is time to start cranking though the rag quilts today.  I still have one full box full of cut up pieces.

Today I am showing off 5 of them.  Sadly only the first picture looks good I need to work on better lighting and maybe clean the lens of my Camera some.

Its amazing how fast sewing these things together go after you get into it.

It takes me only about 2 hours to sew the X's and then Sew them together.  I bet it takes Tanya longer to cut them though she says its easier to cut then to sew and I don't agree with that.

Whats on the Quilting Table #21

Theses pictures are from a few weeks back.  We have been working our way though a huge pile of pre-cut rag quilt bundles we made.

I have managed to make a few pieced quilts between not enough to keep me happy though.

All of the quilts on this page are completed in a pile ready for pictures and I think a couple has already had completed pictures but wanted to share my works in progress.

Thanks for stopping in and checking out this quick post.

Whats on The Quilting Table #20

Desdens On the Quilting Table # 19

Shown off today is 3 quilt tops made from our Dresden quilts.  I am not sure which color group I like best what do you like best?

This was just too funny to pass up.  As soon as the Dresden were placed on table, Chubby-Wubby had to get on them. (We have some interesting pet names in our family)

I think my least favorite was the bottom one.  It is funny this is just a small dent in the dresden pile I have to work though.  Now to buy batting as I need to quilt a ton of quilts.

Rag Quilt Explosion on Whats on the Quilting Table #18

Many weeks back, Tanya and I sat down and decided that we were going to cut up all the bolts of flannel that we have and make rag quilt kits.  That  way we can easily grab a bag and me and the kids could put together a fast quilt..

When I first sat down to cut, I did not comprehend the amount of flannel that we had to cut.  It took me a entire Saturday afternoon and part of Sunday to finish cutting.

When all was said and done we had a huge pile of prospective quilts.

I am not sure of the final number, but more then 30 quilts will be made out of this pile.  They are all cut out and I just need to cut batting, Sew some X and then the rows together and presto another quilt.

Oh ya, then make Tanya snip all the edges.  It might take us months to get this pile dented.

Today is a quilting day.  I start above quilting one of our very simple square quilts.  Tanya had me make these simple quilts to see how they sell compared to some of the more complex quilts on Etsy.  As they are simple to make they will be priced a little cheaper.

I got to quilt and bind my peach quilt for our new Diamonds pattern.  Hum I guess I can't call it a pattern yet as I have not wrote it.  I should really do that soon.

I also quilted and then bound the yellow and brown version of the same quilt.  The first one I quilted more simply then the 2nd.  I am curious which people will like better.

Tanya and I went though our quilt stash and realized we have almost completely sold out of our rag quilts.  So we have set to cutting up the bolts (yes bolts like 5 of them) and many other smaller cuts of flannel that we have.  We are making kits for me and the kids to sew X though.  We realized before we got far into cutting that we have materials for like 20-30 quilts.

While it is time to finish up that Dr Susie Quilt that has been setting around it took me for ever to quilt it and then it sat for a while waiting for binding.  I think what Tanya Final picked was wonderful

The above quilt is a Baby Bricks Quilt and the below is a Simple Squares Quilt.  Both are patterns we well on Craftsy.

Since I was doing bindings I decided to get the other reunion quilt trimmed and bound also.

Lastly today I made a new Windows Quilt out of our Pattern that we sell on Craftsy.  The colors in this picture does not give it justice well above you can see more what it looks like then below but wow does it pop cant wait to finish it and get good pictures.

What's on the Quilting Table #15

Today consists of making quilts out of a new pattern Tanya Designed on EQ7 I took many pictures as I plan to make a pattern for Craftsy, so here I will only show a few of them. The above came from her design called Diamonds.  The block she picked was hard for me to decide how to make as its not like blocks I have done in the past.

Its basically a arrow point with 2 HST sewed to the side, but it did look cute when done.

It was a puzzle making this quilt as I had to make sure the correct blocks matched the 2 different outside pieces.  But when finished they looked nice.

Oh did, I mention that I made 2 of them at the same time?  I let my photo shop auto fix colors and it ruined them.  You will just have to trust me the top one is closer to correct colors the bottom is a light peach and you will have to wait tell the quilting pictures to see its true color.

What's on the Quilting Table #14

Well its time to get to work on the Helix quilt.  This quilt is far more effort then some of the quilts I do, but that effort pays off in the end.  You can see above us putting the puzzle together and below Tanya ironing it out, to make it all look wonderful as I sew the blocks and rows together.

The first 2 quilts I cut all of it into 2 1/2 inch squares even the empty sides.  Tanya convinced me this time to do just rows of white and I am eager to see how the finished quilt will look.

This quilt is far bigger then my first where it had 2 1/2 inch squares and these are 3 1/2 inch so it is much larger which will make it a better lap quilt.

Here is Tanya hold it up by the door.  Don't ask why I have 2 of the same picture but I am too lazy to delete it>  Though they are different pictures they show nothing different.
