Ongoing Quilt Projects, Continued from the "No Appreciation...." Thread

I have made three lap quilt tops since the teal-and-gold bed topper. Two are already sandwiched and I started quilting it today. I'm taking a break from creating may own ideas to using the three yard quilt patterns by Fabric Cafe. Great YouTube channel plus quilt kits, fabrics, individual patterns and books.
These two are the ready-to-quilt ones, both Fabric Cafe patterns; the peach and floral one is called Levity because the floral blocks seem to float in front of the others and. The one in browns, blues and beiges is called diversion. I wasn't happy with the focus fabric I picked, the floral one, because it seems to have too much white in the background of the fabric to really stand out the way I wanted it to, but at least I found I had enough yardage in a coordinating fabric to back it so it's under the needle now.

Thank you! I was happy to discover their channel and patterns. It saves me a ton of work and stress trying to do the math and I'm all about easy these days.

I finally completed a medallion quilt that took 6 mos to do. It isn't that difficult, designed it myself, but from December onward, I had a terrible choking cough and was unable to do much quilting. It's hard to do free motion quilt as you're hacking your lungs out, ugh. Today it is finished. I'm not that thrilled with the quilting because of the way I was feeling all along the process, but it's done and it's on my bed. It's not a true bed quilt, more of a bed topper like you'd use decoratively on top of a solid colored bed covering, but it's enough for warmer nights. I sure did use a lot of thread, though! I want to wash it tomorrow to make it all crinkly-cozy. View attachment 4114432View attachment 4114433View attachment 4114444View attachment 4114445

This quilting is fabulous!!
I've been working on a new wall hanging for my daughter. She saw someone post on FB about a bookshelf quilt and asked if I could make one. So I pulled out some scraps and started. I did buy the wood grain fabric and black background fabric, the rest is scraps.
Still a work in progress but getting closer. My grandson loves dinosaurs and monster trucks, daughter is into photography... It will end up about 40" x 60" ish.

I am a big fan! Easy and no math makes me happy. I really like their one block wonders.

We just googled a bunch of images and picked a few things to add. I was surprised how many examples were out there, and though I guess i shouldn't be surprised. Some interesting themed ones out there!
