Wooly Stars Quilt

I made this fun quilt for no particular reason. The pattern caught my eye at myfabricaddiction.com and I couldn't resist! The directions were pretty simple. Complete steps 1-29 and then repeat 8 times. Haha. I do best when batch-processing so it didn't take nearly as long as it could have. The hardest part was determining the pantograph to quilt it with on my longarm. I ended up going for a swirl repeat pattern. Next time I would probably choose something different (maybe smaller cloud puffs?) but this was cute and I like how it turned out. 

Also for the first time I used a bedsheet instead of store-bought fabric as the backing. I wasn't sure I would like it but it turned out great and I had plenty of the queen-size sheet fabric so I felt comfortable with it. 

 

Campfire Quilt

 I made my husband this quilt using a kit from myfabricaddiction.com. I used a flannel backing which really threw off my longarm, so that's definitely something I need to keep practicing. The pantograph is campfires, which adds to the warmness of this plaid design.

You can already see some loose threads I had to go back and fix. Not my best work but I learn something from every quilt I make. Next time will be better! 

Swoon Christmas Quilt

 I made my mom a Christmas quilt for her bed and didn't get a photo before I gifted it, but I saved the pattern so I could make another. This was a pre-cut quilt kit from My Fabric Addiction which I have loved getting pieces from because it takes away the worst part- cutting fabric. A lot of times they have sales, and I got this one half-price! I purchased the backing they had (108"- my favorite!) so this quilt was super easy to put together. I love the old fashioned fabric vibes (Riley Blake) and used a loose berries-on-a-vine pattern from prostitcher.
