Flora and Fawn Quilt

I'm on to Quilt #3 getting finished!  This quilt is called Flora and Fawn, same title as the line of fabric.  I started it about 8 years ago and I'm so glad that it is finally done.  :)

It's made with a jelly roll (2.5 inch strips) and some extra yardage for the borders.  I used Missouri Star's Cutting Corners tutorial and laid out my blocks in a pinwheel pattern.  

Here you can see the pinwheel block.  I made the quilt 4 blocks across by 5 blocks down.  It's a fairly large throw but a nice size - not too big, not too small.

I love the colors in this fabric line; it even has little deer and mushroom images in the fabric.  I may possibly keep this quilt for myself.  

The back is a polka dotted aqua color.  I would definitely make this quilt pattern again.  I have some fabric left over, so we'll see.   It can actually be completed in less than 8 years.  LOL

 

Honeybun Colorful Quilt

If you remember last year I wanted to finish up 10 quilts by the end of the year and I certainly didn't get them done.  But now I am finally finishing some of them!

I started this quilt about 6 years ago to give to a friend of mine for her birthday.  Well, it's finally complete and I gave it to her this weekend.  A little late, but she loved it none the less.

I started with a honey bun roll of fabric (2.5 in strips) and added a few strips from my own stash.  It didn't finish up to be very big so I divided up the rows and added some sashing strips to make it a bit larger.

It has an all-over wave pattern quilted into it and I just loved doing that.  It took a little longer to quilt it but I will definitely use that pattern again.  The quilting has a nice flow and look to it.  

In this pic you can see the wave pattern and all of the beautiful colors in it.  I love the newsprint type fabric that I used in the border.  It adds a nice scrappy look to the quilt. I wish that I could find this roll of fabrics again - I just love these colors! 

Here is a photo of my friend holding her quilt.  She was happy to receive it.  :)
