Another quilt for Cody

This is a rag quilt for Tanya's brother Cody.  One of his son's took the one we made him for Christmas last year.  Notice is only one print of fabric. He wanted the quilt in a camouflage print and I showed him a sample of this fabric and thought of doing black or green with it, but he only wanted the one fabric. It is super easy if  there is no pattern to keep track of. 

This thing in huge for a lap quilt, approximately 6 feet wide by 8 feet long. Cody is 6 ft 5 inches.  It took 13 1/2 yards of fabric. It covers the top of our queen size bed. I did 8 inch squares.  It is the biggest rag quilt I have done on my little Brother sewing machine.  I normally have Richard sew the larger rows together on his bigger machine.

Baby Bricks Quilt

This was a custom quilt that was just finished up.  We ended up buying the whole fat quarter bundle of Reunion  by Sweetwater. This is one of Richard's favorite lines.  I don't know why we end up with customer orders on fabric that are 1 to 2 years old.  Good thing there is the Internet and we were able to locate it.  

It measured 40 by 50 inches and is now on its way.  We did this quilt with a scrappy feel.  The pattern for this quilt is one designed by us and for sell on Craftsy.  You can follow the patterns link on top of the blog to find pattern. Richard and Tanya Quilts Patterns on Craftsy

Link A Finish Friday #88

Today I would like to start by sharing Tanya's Most recent quilt.  She has been doing a good job lately.  Me (Richard) I have been some what distracted the last few weeks and only have a few things to show for it.  I think soon I am going to have to kick into gear though as I feel like a slacker.

Another Custom Rag Quilt

A customer wanted a lavender, purple, and green rag quilt with elephants.  This quilt was done by Tanya, Richard is busy working on another custom baby quilt.  

 This cute rag quilt is 40 by 50.  It has a dark purple minky on the back.  

The front has two minky fabrics. The dark purple and a lavender with a rose pattern.   The rose minky is super cute, but sheds tons.  It has three cotton fabrics.

I used my embroidery machine to applique the elephants on 8 squares. The design wasn't designed for applique so I ended up doing some close trimming after it was sewn. I can see a few more baby quilts with elephants in the future.  I think this is one of the cutest rag quilts so far.  Just in case you are wondering, the flannel isn't gone, I've just been busy with other projects like laundry and other fun cleaning projects.
