Diagonal Quilt and Pattern.

Today I would like to share my newest Diagonal Quilt.  I created this using my newest pattern. This is my 3rd Diagonal Quilt.  If you go to Crafty and put a comment on the pattern and come back here and leave a comment I will send you a copy of the pattern for free. Please make sure your email is available so that I can send you the pattern.  I have recently had 2 people comment but they are no-reply bloggers so I can not send the pattern.

My first Diagonal Quilt was made using a neat ombre material (yes I had to look up that name it even stumped me) Above is the back of my newest quilt.  At the time I made the back I had recently read a comment from one of my blog posts that talked about a log cabin block made similar to the style I used in my quilt (sewing into long rows my material and then re-cut it).  So the block in the back is just that.

For the pictures in this post I decided to take the quilts to the park.  I took the easy job of watching Julia play, while I stiffed Tanya with the picture taking.  She had a fun time first starting with taking pictures on the grass and then on a rock and then on a bench.  The above was done over a pull up bar.

Out of all the rock pictures I like this one of the back of my quilt the best.  I almost think I should make a pattern for the back of the quilt and sell it as the front of the quilt.  I put my square in the middle with diagonal lines going across above and below it.

Above is the first picture I made after the quilt was washed.  It is the only full up and down shot which I think is needed of any quilt, but it is not my favorite shot of the quilt.

I do think that I like this picture of the quilt on the grass.  It is not the best color wise but it is a fun picture of the quilt all the same.  If you visit my quilt pattern on Craftsy and put a comment on it (or on one of the quilts attached to it) I will email you a copy of the pattern for free.  Make sure to put a comment here so I get a email to reply too with the pattern.

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.
