My Favorite Quilt- Whirling Squares

After having made several quilts I had an abundance of scraps to use up. So I found this great quilt book Scrap Quilts at a used book store and found this pattern among the last few pages, sometimes you can find gold in the back. This actually looks a lot simpler then it actually is, it took me forever to figure it out at first.


This is the Awesome Quilt Book by Judy Martin


This is the pattern I hope you can see it!!


Here is the quilt top



The backing and the top


One of the Quilt blocks 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 along the binding


Another random block, they are all different.


I put polyester batting in this one which made it super snuggly, it is THE softest and most comfy quilt I have made. It is tied with varigated cream, brown and white cotton yarn. I just love this quilt. It is large enough to be a bed quilt for a double bed (I made it when we were still sleeping on a double, before we graduated to a King).

Nine-Patch Star - "Star Chicken"

Here is my latest completion. It has been in the action stages now for over four years, since it is hand quilted and has yet to have found an appropriate home selection. After much work and hard thinking it is going to a happy home and a sweet little boy to be. Here is the larger picture of it, it has chicken and farm fabric in a nine-patch star pattern.


Here is a close up of one of the red stars, there are also blue ones. I will have to add a close up later when I get around to taking it.


This pattern was like the fourth I ever tried and it is super easy. It was so much fun getting the fabrics together and we (my husband and I-he is always my greatest opinion!) loved the yellow chicken fabric! Isn't this simply perfect for a little boy??? This is also my first baby quilt ever. Came out pretty good, huh?!
