Quilt Contest (again)

I was browsing quiltinggallery.com earlier and I found out there was another contest.  This weeks theme is "Dots, Checks, Stripes" so I decided I would enter and I found the PERFECT quilt!!

I have actually shared more about it here. For today I am just going to share the picture I submitted for the contest.  The contest does not open for voting until Friday.  you also do not have to register to vote.

Baby C quilts #3

So I am a terrible friend!! When Kelley had her first two babies, I had those quilts to her LONG before the babies were there.  Well baby C #3 is almost nine months old, and he doesn't have his quilt yet!!

Part of it, was that I didn't know which pattern to use, and when I did decide on a pattern I couldn't decide on the fabrics.  I chose to do the pattern irish chain. I decided to go scrappy.

Here's the front and part of the back.  You can kind of see here, I chose to do a scrappy binding also.

I stitched in the blue squares, so big diagonals.  I wasn't sure what to do in the white spaces :/ I wish I had an embroidery machine so I could have put his name or first letter of his name in it.

Baby C quilts #2

When Kelley got pregnant with her second baby she found out it was going to be a girl.  I was SO excited!! Girly quilts are so easy (pinks and purples!! I love purple!) and fun!

I also tried to a new thing for this quilt.  I used an equilateral triangle, which I had seen on fons & porter.  But I didn't remember exactly how to use it, so I have a lot of triangles in my scrap bins!

 Here is the finished quilt.

Here is a close up of the quilting I did.  Inside the triangles.

And the back and binding.  The back is minky, and the binding I used pinks and purples.

Baby C quilts #1

I have a good friend in Texas.  When I found out she was pregnant with her first baby I was SO excited for her! I of course wanted to make a quilt for the baby!

It was SO tough trying to find BOY fabrics!! there is SO much floral stuff out there!  Once I found the fabrics I had to decide on the pattern.  I chose trip around the world, which it was the first time I'd done it.

Here it is, with the back showing.  I used a minky type fabric, and it didn't lay quite as nice as I would have liked.  I used a prepackaged binding.

And here is the whole top! I love the way the stripes look!
