Putting the Qool in Quilt

I'm having so much fun with quilting!  My mother-in-law is a pro and her pieces were always so mind-bending!  I didn't realize that simple quilting was an option.  There are so many facets to this craft...it's huge...and yes...mind-bending!

I started making basic blankets and painting stencils on them.  I love doing this but with summer coming up, I wanted to make a thinner blanket and practice more of my sewing.

So...that's when I started looking around at basic quilting and thought, "I can do that!"

I'm starting off with simple straight-line and free-line projects here: 

I just received a new shipment of fabrics from Fabric Worm!  I think I'm going to try piecing smaller pieces this time around.  Stay tuned for more!  Visit my etsy shop for projects and prices: www.etsy.com/shop/samartiepants

Modern Baby Blanket

 

Look what I made!  It came straight from the pages of Printing By Hand by Lena Corwin.  I'm so happy with the result!  She has such hip, cool paint crafts in that book!  I highly recommend it!  Buy it here!

My next step is to create my own stencils, sew them up and sell to you and your friends!  Once I create, you know I'll share!
