Laurie‘s Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt

Are you ever in need of a quilt that’s fast or uses up your charm packs or layer cakes? This just might be it!!

Laurie made this Disappearing Nine Patch quilt using the free tutorial from Jenny at Missouri Star Quilt Company. Jenny actually has a video tutorial you can see here: https://youtu.be/dEjZOXxPazg?si=vG8H-Blr7n3RRdIG I’ve made a few of these quilts myself, and they are so fun!

I used my favorite Omni thread from Superior Threads, and I used the color cream. Click here:https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3004-cream

I also used my favorite 8020 batting from Winline Textiles.

After seeing the darling fabrics that Laurie used, I suggested my Kapari design for the quilting and she said yes!! It’s one of my favorite designs that I’ve designed. It’s available in my shop. Go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/kapari

Isn’t that quilty texture so good?!?!

Especially on a minky backing!!

This is why I love solid minky for quilt backings, a textured minky is going to compete with the quilting.

Are you hoping to get something quilted? Check out my calendar and schedule a day or two! Let’s get those quilts quilted. https://calendly.com/quiltingit/edgetoedge

Lisa’s Baby Quilts

Baby quilts don’t have to be complicated to be super cute!! Like these two that Lisa made.

This one is a free tutorial on Amy from Diary of a Quilter’s blog, it’s called Patchwork Star. Go to this link: https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/patchwork-star-baby-quilt-tutorial/

I love the fabrics Lisa used, especially the elephants.

I gave her a few panto choices and we went with Soho. She wanted something curvy to soften all the hard lines in the quilt pattern. Soho is available at Urban Elementz and is by Sarah Ann Myers. Ho to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/soho.html

I used Natural White Omni Thread from Superior Threads, which is my favorite. Click here: https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3002-natural-white

Lisa loves bamboo batting, like I do!! So I put it in all her quilts. These both have Winline 4 oz Bamboo in them. I have the 6 oz in stock, too, if you’re ever looking for something with a little more loft.

The great thing about a simple baby quilt, like these two, you can choose fun fabrics which help give the quilt texture and personality. And, of course back them with luxurious minky!

Speaking of fabrics, how darling are those foxes?!!

Lisa is great at choosing wovens that make the quilts extra cozy.

Lisa saw my Squared Rounded design on a quilt awhile ago and had me quilt it on one of hers. She requested it again for the second time. Squared Rounded is a softer version of my classic Squared design, with the addition of the rounded corners. Both are available in my shop. Below is my Squared Rounded version. Here is a link: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/squared-rounded

Here is a close up!!

I used Cream Omni Thread from Superior Threads for this one, you can find it here: Cream Omni Thread, it’s such a beautiful soft cream color! I use this and the Natural White (I linked above) more than any other colors.

Check out the quilty texture, especially on the minky!

Ashley’s Patchwork Sky Quilt

Ashley has made several beautiful quilts, including this one. I love the fabrics she chose.

The pattern is called Patchwork Sky by Camille from Thimble Blossoms. The fabrics look like hers, too. Patchwork Sky is available at: https://thimbleblossoms.com/products/patchwork-sky-pdf-pattern?_pos=1&_sid=f6550a204&_ss=r

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread and an 8020 blend batting that Ashley sent with her quilts.

Ashley chose the Ribbon Heart panto from Barbie at The Quilting Mill. You can find it here: https://thequiltingmill.com/product/ribbon-heart/

Look at that quilty texture, it’s so good!!

I love the movement of a curved design across a quilt with all these hard lines.

Check out that cute backing, too!!

Julie’s Boo Quilt

Are you looking for a cute Halloween quilt?? This Boo quilt that Julie made is a pattern by April from Prairie Grass Quilts. Go to: https://www.prairiegrasspatterns.com/products/157-boo-pdf-pattern

January or February is the perfect time to start making a Halloween quilt or start collecting all the fabrics. I love the variety that Julie used.

I used Haunted Webs by Apricot Moon Designs, which is a great web design. It’s available at Urban Elementz, go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/haunted-web.html

I used natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 batting from Winline Textiles.

Here are some close ups of the fabrics and quilty texture.

Also, how cute is that Boo!!

The Haunted Web panto goes so well with the hexagon shaped blocks, because webs are typically in a similar shape.

Lisa’s Pineapple Quilt

How amazing is this pineapple quilt that Lisa made!?! I love the variety of blues that she used throughout the quilt.

The pineapple block is a paper piecing block by Amber at Gigi’s Thimbles. You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/183374968/pineapple-block-paper-piecing-patterns

Lisa requested custom quilting on this one, and suggested a block design in the pineapple block itself, which was a great idea! Quilts like this can be tricky to pick out a custom quilting design. It would take far too long to custom quilt something in each strip.

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and bamboo batting from Winline Textiles. Lisa loves bamboo in all her quilts!! I’m the same, once I started using bamboo I don’t want anything else.

You can see in the sashing I did a freehand ribbon candy design and an arched square in the corner posts.

For the block design I used Patricia Ritter’s and my Viola - Block #3 which is part of a collection that we designed together awhile ago. It’s available at: https://www.urbanelementz.com/quilting-designs/viola-block-3.html to check out the other beautiful Viola blocks and edge to edge design, go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Viola

I loved that this block design filled the space pretty good.

In the thin mini border I freehand quilted circles to help frame the quilt. It’s also an excellent way to quilt thinner boarders. I quilted my feathered swirl in the outside border, which goes really great with the block design that I quilted. If you’re interested in learning how to quilt freemotion, check out my Quilting It Freemotion course. Go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/quilting-it-freemotion-course

Above you’ll see one of my favorite ways to custom quilt a 9 patch. Squared arches and loops that connect all the way around the center square.

Such a beautiful quilt!!

Nancy’s Acorn Woods Quilt

Nancy made this darling Acorn Woods quilt which is a pattern by Fig Tree & Co. Go to: https://store.figtreeandcompany.com/Acorn_Woods_Downloadable_from_Fig_Tree_Co_p/ftq-1800e.htm

It looks like she used a variety of fabrics from different lines. This would definitely be a great stash buster.

I used Natural White Omni Thread from Superior Threads. I also used 8020 batting from Winline Textiles.

I quilted Grapevine by Denise Schillinger available at Urban Elementz, which is one of my favorite leaf designs. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/grapevine.html

Here is a up of the leaf and loop panto…such great quilty texture.

Nancy’s Stars of the Harvest Mini Quilt

How cute is this mini quilt or pillow front…whichever Nancy decided to do to finish it up?!!! The pattern is called Stars of the Harvest by Fig Tree & Co. Click here: https://store.figtreeandcompany.com/Stars_of_the_Harvest_Downloadable_p/ftq-1965e.htm

It looks like some of Fig Tree & Co’s fabrics as well!! Super cute!!

If I remember right I suggested my Wicker panto design to Nancy and she was all for it. I’m thrilled with how it turned out!! Wicker is available in my shop, go to: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/wicker I did it smaller than I normally do because the mini quilt is mini. I quilted it at 3.75” height to get 1/2”ish lines.

I used Natural White omni thread from Superior Threads and a scrap of 8020 batting from Winline Textiles.

I’m loving the triple stars, one inside of the other inside of the other.

Wicker has become one of my most favorite geometric quilty textures, it’s so classic and quilts out beautifully

Lots and Lots of T-shirt Quilts

One thing I quilt several of last year, yes I’m behind in blogging quilts, is t-shirt quilts. I’ll share 5 of them here, each one has a different design on it. It’s great to see the variety and how great they look!!

Heidi made this one for a friend, if I remember right. She chose Mod Dotz by Patricia Ritter, which is available at Urban Elementz. Click here: https://www.urbanelementz.com/mod-dotz.html

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads. I used 8020 batting on each of these quilts, which is an excellent option for t-shirt quilts.

I may have used Mod Dotz once before on a t-shirt quilt I can’t remember…it such a great design. The curves really soften up the hard lines in the blocks .

Shirlene made this one…and several others. She’s a t-shirt quilt master!! She makes them so fast!

She wanted a loopy design, so I chose Going Loopy by Naomi Hynes and it’s available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/going-loopy.html Isn’t that quilty texture so good?!?!!!! It’s fun to think out of the box and add a design on a T-shirt quilt that I typically wouldn’t pick. Now I may suggest it for future T-shirt quilts, especially if it’s for a girl. I love it!

I used a black Omni thread from Superior Threads.

This is another t-shirt quilt that Shirlene made, this one for her son.

I chose my Squared panto design after she requested a more masculine geometric design. Squared has been one of my favorite designs to put on a T-shirt quilt, I’ve done it several times. It looks great every time. It’s available in my shop, click here: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/squared

I used black Omni thread from Superior Threads, and it blended beautifully on all of the different T-shirts. Typically, I do not like dark threads on lighter fabrics or blocks, but with the amount of black on this quilt, it turned out great.

T-shirt quilts are great with minky on the back, too. Flannel and cotton are also a great choice.

Barbara made this fun picture and t-shirt quilt for her granddaughter’s husband.

He even got to choose the design he wanted. He went with Diagonal Plaid by Patricia Ritter, which is available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/diagonal-plaid.html This one is another classic design to put on T-shirt quilts. I’ve put it on several over the years.

I used Light Grey thread from Superior Threads, which blended beautifully.

Look at this fun grunge minky!! If I remember right, it’s one of the 90” wide minkys. It’s fun they are making some patterned minky in the 90” wide. This is like the solid minky without having the additional texture.

Last one, another quilt made by Shirlene!

She requested swirls, so I quilted Twirl on it. Twirl is by Patricia Ritter and me, and is available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/twirl.html

Isn’t mini super cute?!?! I used black Omni thread from Superior Threads.

I hope you enjoyed seeing different designs on different quilts!! I’ve learned while I love the classic designs that I’ve used over and over, it’s great to try new ones too. They look just as great!!

Nancy chose the Daisy Tiles panto by Heidi from Piece and Joy Quilting. It’s such a fabulous design. You can find it here: https://www.piecejoyquilt.com/designs-for-longarmers/p/daisy-tiles It was a perfect choice for this quilt!!

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 batting from Winline Textiles.

Aren’t those flowers so perfect?!?!

More quilty texture!!

I gave Pat a few panto design options, she went with Happy Go Lucky by Melissa from Sew Shabby Quilting. Go to: https://www.sewshabbyquilting.com/product-page/happy-go-lucky

I used my favorite natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads. I also used 8020 batting from Winline Textiles.

Sandy’s Geo Weaver Quilt

Happy new year!! I hope you have fun projects to make this year.

This darling Geo Weaver quilt that my mom made for some family friends who just had their first baby is the perfect shades of pinks.

The Geo Weaver pattern is by Lindsey from Pen and Paper Patterns. The PDF can be found here: https://penandpaperpatterns.com/collections/pdf-patterns/products/geo-weaver-pdf-quilt-pattern

My mom and her sister own Sister’s and Quilters, an online fabric shop, so my mom had a great selection of pinks. She may even have more fabrics to make into a quilt kit. If you’re interested contact her at https://www.etsy.com/shop/sistersandquilters

I’m loving the hombre look of the pink fabrics together. 💕

After looking at a few different flower panto designs, my mom chose Flower Child by Apricot Moon Designs available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/flower-child.html

I used my favorite natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I think my mom plans to make another one of these for my new niece, it looks like a fun and simple pattern.

Love all that quilty texture!

Liz + Pat’s Paper Tree Quilt

So excited to share this gorgeous quilt with you, today!! Even though I’m behind in sharing other quilts I’ve quilted, I wanted to share this one that is fresh off my longarm before the holiday season is over.

The pattern is free with the Fat Quarter Shop Jelly Bar precut in the Poinsettia Plaza Collection of fabrics, which I couldn’t find available. Contact Fat Quarter Shop and see if they will give you a copy.

Or…here is a similar pattern by Laundry Basket Quilts go to: https://www.laundrybasketquilts.com/online-store/Christmas-Tree-PDF-download-p274316146 to get the PDF pattern.

Pat and Liz are sisters, Liz picks out different quilts and Pat helps her sew them together. They did an excellent job on this one!!

Pat suggested a colored thread, and I shared the tip from Kim Diehl that I learned a few years ago ago…to have the thread color be a little darker than the background so the quilting shows up. It’s an excellent way to showcase the design.

I used Omni threads in the Sesame Seeds #3008 from Superior Threads. https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3008-sesame-seeds/p/134-02-3008

I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

We debated over a few different designs and in the end Liz chose Patricia Ritter’s and my NEWEST design Chantilly Snow, which is only available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/chantilly-snow.html

It’s so exciting to use one of my designs for the first time!! I think it turned out beautifully.

I love the snowflakes swirling and dancing across the quilt.

Angie’s Loving Wishes Quilt

Angie makes the most darling baby quilts!!

This Loving Wishes quilt is by Shannon at Maple Cottage Designs. Here is a link to the pattern: https://www.maplecottagedesigns.com/product/loving-wishes-quilt-pattern/

If you didn’t notice there are hearts 💕 inside of those stars. So sweet!!

When I first saw this quilt I immediately thought of this panto design, it’s called Belladonna - border 1 and is by Hermione Agee and it’s available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/belladonna-border-1.html

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting by Winline Textiles.

I wish I knew what these darling fabrics are, so I could share them with you. I do know Angie uses fabrics from her stash sometimes from multiple lines.

I typically like to do the panto designs a little smaller, however the minky on the back could start to feel more stiff. I think these sweet Belladonna flowers dance beautifully across this quilt!!

Look at that cozy backing!! So soft.

Here are the left and right sides of the center block.

Peace by Piece • Festival of Trees Quilt

A local quilt guild has been excitedly making several quilts to help with two local charities, one of which is the Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees is a fundraising event the beginning of every December which supports Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. The amazing medical professionals at this hospital have helped a few of my niece and nephews. I love to give back to them, even in small ways. To find out more about the organization, to go: https://intermountainhealthcare.org/foundation/festival-of-trees

Two of my friends in this guild are quilting several of the quilts, so I offered to quilt one. The bright and happy dots are sure to cheer up whoever receives this quilt. I’m not sure if it will be donated to a child or auctioned off. Either way, I’m happy it’s on its way.

I quilted the quilt with the Soho panto design by Sarah Ann Myers, which can be found at Urban Elementz. https://www.urbanelementz.com/soho.html

I’m not sure what the quilt pattern is. It reminds me of a classic chain block with a simple square every other block.

I used my go to favorite Omni thread from Superior Threads, Natural White 3002. It blends so beautifully over every color. To try it out on your machine, go to: https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3002-natural-white/p/134-02-3002

I’m a Superior Thread Ambassador, if you’d like 10% off your order, use code “ASTLEISHA”, which can’t be used with any other promotion.

The guild supplied some polyester batting which adds a fun little dimension to the quilt.

The quilt was pieced by Jan and will be bound by Joleene, both members of the guild. The fabrics are from Riley Blake.

Joleene also told me of a local need. There are so many kids and teens in our area, as well as other parts of the country, who have no blanket or quilt to sleep with and they’re sleeping on the floor. I encourage you to look for a place in your area to donate an extra quilt or two you may not be using. Let’s see if we can make a difference one quilt at a time!

Look at all those happy colors.
