Tilda Starburst Quilt is Done!

One day a while back- like 2 years ago, I took out some Tilda fabric charm square packs and made hundreds of half square triangles with them.  I saw this Sunburst layout online and decided to put mine together in this pattern.

I've been working on it for a couple of years now and decided to get a backing on it and quilt it.  Here is a pic of the quilt on my longarm as I get ready to quilt it.  I did an all-over stipple and swirls on it and I think it came out so beautiful.  :)  It's amazing how wonderful a quilt looks when it is finally finished.

Last week when I was camping, I sewed on the border, being very careful not to let it fall in the dirt!

I seriously just love how it turned out and now I have to trim up 168 more half square triangles to complete a second Tilda quilt.  

I still haven't decided on the layout of the second quilt, but I'm sure once I've trimmed my blocks, it will come to me.  

While on the Shop Hop this year in May, I found some pretty Tilda fabrics for the backs of my two quilts.  This quilt is like being in Tilda heaven.  :)
 

Dresdan Baby Quilt #3

For the next quilt, yes #3 (I wanted to make some items that all matched), I wanted to make a quilt with one block.  This quilt is smaller than the second one and I chose the Dresdan block.  I went out to buy a Dresdan ruler, but ended up with the wrong one.  The one that I bought is a wedge ruler, but I was determined to make it work.

I started cutting the wedges and hoped that somehow they would form a large flower.  I added some more purples to the colors I was using and love the look of it!  Eventually it did come together as a circle, but I had to adjust the angles on some of the pieces.

For the center, I added a large circle that I cut out with one of my dinner plates.  I cut out a piece of circular cardboard a little smaller so that I was able to make a perfect circle.  It's "different," but I love the look of it.  This little quilt can be used as a play mat for the floor, a table topper or a wall hanging.  

Here's a pic of all three quilts, each a different size.  I hope she likes them!

The Dresdan quilt finished at about 36" square.  I would definitely make this again.  Perhaps using yellows or bright colors.  I could see it hanging on a wall in my home.  :)
