And Now a Quilt for Kaiya!!

The challenge was on to make a quilt for Kaiya. Her parents wanted her nursery colors to be fushia and purple with touches of gray. They also wanted Eeyore but soon found out that in most stuffed animals, Eeyore is BLUE not gray! I designed this quilt for Kaiya and made Eeyore gray. Its very simple but fits the nursery perfectly!

A Quilting Kind of Day

Today is a quilting kind of day. I'm going to pull out my sewing machine and add the sashings to these blocks to make a quilt. This is all twelve blocks from the 2007 $5 quilt club that I joined at the Quilt Barn. It was such a fun group and I liked the idea of just sewing one block a month that would be a total surprise. Even the instructor didn't know what the finished project would look like! A member pays $5 the first month for the pattern and fabric and then each month if you bring the completed block of the month back, you get another one for free. So, it is possible to make a quilt top for $5!!! Never mind, what I spent when I went there every month! lol Anyway, I'm excited to get this put together since I have never made a red and white quilt.
