Farmer's Wife - Farm Girl = Picnic time!

I finally figured out what to do with these farmer's wife blocks. I used the "Square Dance quilt setting" pattern from Farm Girl vintage.

9 - 9"blocks

 

4" squares set in red....

 

and some red check for sashing...

 

"feed and seed " block 

 

love the star quilted into the red polka dot here...

Here, you can see the machine quilting in the sashing. I love this twist...

Classic Winnie the Pooh Baby Quilt

Classic/ Vintage Winnie the Pooh baby quilt

I started with some pictures and printed them onto

Dritz Printed Treasures sew on ink jet fabric sheets.

4 per sheet

shadow cut them out...

used wonder under to iron onto squares.

then machine stitched with dark thread just inside the edge to keep it down...

and arranged the white squares in between lots of different green squares.

machine stitched some bees and leaves on the background.

machine quilted with 2 dark squiggly lines around each square. 

a little grass on this one.

 it's bound with brown although you can't really see it here.

Seaside

I did this quilt with Seaside fabrics by October Afternoon for Riley Blake in 2013.

 

"Wavy" machine quilting

 

sweet fabrics...

 

 

 

 

Granny Squares Quilt

I so love that this quilt looks like granny squares.

 

to make it easy, I sewed together the strips first.

 

then crosscut them...

 

with a wider blue outside strip so you can.....

 

cut the outside of each square a little bigger - not right on the points.

this pic also shows the cute free motion quilting I did on my home sewing machine.

 

some of the fabrics are "sew cherry", some aren't

 

 

 

cute red gingham binding!
