Finished Smitten Quilt

The pandemic quilt production continues and here is another finish. The final size of this one is not so big - just 47" x 60". The whole thing was done by hand so I really didn't want to go any bigger. It's just not the most practical thing to use, maybe for pulling over your legs on the couch. 

I like it and didn't deviate from the pattern very much. I hand pieced the blocks and hand quilted it with #8 perle cotton thread. The backing is a light colored solid and it has a striped binding. 

Started June 4 - Finished July 27

Finished Stretched Hexagon Baby Quilt

43" x 49"

This project took about 6 weeks from start to finish. It was completed on June 26. I did some machine quilting on the main hand pieced section and hand quilted the machine pieced borders. It has a striped binding and the back is mostly Kona Snow with about a quarter of it made from leftover fabric scraps. I have a recipient in mind though the sex of the baby is going to be a surprise in October. 

Scrappy 5" Square Quilt

I made this quilt over a one year period and finished it November 9, 2016. It never made it on the blog so today it gets posted. I always think of it as a 5" square quilt block because I was saving scraps of that size for awhile and had some leftover charm squares that I wanted to use up. But I trimmed them down to 4.5" in order to surround them with 2.5" squares. It made a pretty good dent in the scrap supply. 

The finished quilt is 62" x 78". The quilting was done by hand with #8 Perle cotton and big stitches in a traditional Baptist fan pattern. It has a striped binding and a former comforter cover for the backing. It is a library of fabrics I have used over the years, one of the best parts of scrap quilts. It's definitely a favorite of mine.
