Turquoise and Brown Heart Baby Quilt

Today we would like to share our Turquoise and Brown Heart.  These blocks are some of the oldest things we have worked on.  I talked about it in these 3 posts here, here, and here.

I had lots of fun quilting squares on the hearts.  Tanya did the first few and then I finished them when she was taking too much time.

We went to the park to take these pictures.  I think they turned out so much better then the inside shots we took.  Sadly though we were having too much sun as a issue in our shots.  Its funny how we can have not enough and then too much light.

Paper Piecing Fun

I had so much fun with my last paper pieced block for my Star Bright Quilt. (that one was green) I had to make more.  The quilt needs 6 different colors and Green was first, Now I have some purple and orange blocks done.

I am so surprised that it took me so long to get serious and try paper piecing.  Now that i have 15 blocks made (I made 5 of each block so far).  I decided that I could make even more paper pieced items.

So after 15 blocks I had to try something different.  I pulled up EQ7 and created me a new block.  In EQ7 I called it spines.  I am not sure if that is going to stick as its name but for now that is what I will call it.

I had fun making this block it is 7 inch finished I made 4 of them and in a few days I will show you the completed mini quilt.

Here is one block completed.

Diagonal Table Runner

I have now made 3 diagonal quilts.  My plan is to make a pattern and list it on craftsy.  Once it is done I will also share it here I think.  I have really enjoyed these diagonal quilts.  This little table topper was made out of the left overs from the first one.

I quilted this echo quilting and the back was just left over pieces.  I was pleased that it looked so well after washing it.  I love the crinkly look of quilts.  (Mostly because it hides all the flaws haha)

The picture below I think is one of my favorite of this quilt.  After seeing it hung up I had though about maybe it could be used as a wall hanger rather then a table runner.

Minion Pillow in Yellow and Blue

Tanya has made another of her wonderful pillows for today's post.  This is one of my favorite so far.  I am a fan of the minions and this is her 3rd.

These pillows she has created with a mixture of cotton and minkey with the Minion put on using embroidery by Tanya.  They are such cute and fun.  These pillows are all done with a rag quilt style.

We have never done a zipper so these pillows were made with a pillow that can be washed.  It is so fun to see the smiles these pillows cause on the little kids faces.
