Tiny Quilts 2









I've been so busy with family and friends!  But not to busy to make a few more tiny quilts!!!!

Here are a few of those I have 
made. Aren't they cute!


These quilt patterns are from
the Temecula Quilt Company. 
The book is called, "T for Tiny."


Make sure to check it out!




When making tiny quilts it is best
to chain sew your blocks.



Don't forget to press your seams!




Once I've sandwiched by quilt 
together, backing (wrong side up),
bating is next, and finally
the quilt top ( right side up), I
pinned the layers together
with sewing pins. Just a few
pins here and there.




Next I used some of my favorite 
machine decorative stitches to
machine quilt these tiny quilts.

Bind your quilt.  Don't forget 
to finish your quilt with a
label!  Simple simple! 

If you'd like to check my first 
tiny quilt here.  It's
another one from the book!

Thank you for stopping by!

And the God of love and peace will be with you... Encourage

Farm Girl Vintage Blocks 7-12 Part 2

#Farmgirlfridays

Farm Girl Vintage Blocks continue.
  Here you go, the next
 blocks completed (7-13). 

The plan is to make all the 
blocks and make the
quilt shown on the cover of
the book, but I just 
don't know.  I just may
have to make extras of
these cute blocks and
make some of these quilts
featured in this book.

Halloween Table Top Quilt

Here's my #Halloween quilt!  All ready to go for tomorrow!






I started off by cutting 16- 3" squares with my pumpkin fabric.  I have 16 finished blocks. 




Cutting 2-1/2" strips and adding them to each side.




Then adding 2-1/2" strips to top and bottom.




Trim each block. I have 8 different fabrics, not counting the center fabric (pumpkins), making 2 blocks of each color.




Once you have your blocks made, arrange them according to what looks good to you!




I decided to add black sashing between the blocks.  I cut my sashing strips 1-1/2" wide.



Next I added a 3" border (cutting my borders 3-1/2" wide). I then sandwiched the quilt together. I used a scalloped top stitch and added my binding to finish it off. 



I did use a fluffier polyester batting because I just happened to have a piece already cut to size.  Use what you have whenever possible!!





Wishing you all a Happy Halloween!  Have fun and be safe!
