Baby Quilt #1
Feb 16th
I’ve recently discovered that two of my friends will be having babies in October, which means I get the fun job of making baby quilts! This is a sketch of the one that will be for the lady I work with, though she doesn’t know what colors (beyond “pastels” she wants). This is a fun and easy pattern, and I’m sure I’ll have lots of fun with it!
EDIT: sadly, this project will be put on hold for a while 
Dissertation Blues
Jan 13th
I made this lap-sized quilt as a gift for a friend who finished his dissertation last spring. I had lots of random yardage in different blue shades, so I used them to put together a modified log cabin block in two color schemes; I believe this pattern is called “friendship knot,” though the block is a lot like a log cabin.
The background was put together with more yardage and scraps. I pieced together a long strip of pieces 22″ wide, then cut that into sections and attached them to the sides to make a funky color-block pattern. This was the first time I tried a meander pattern, and I think it turned out very well!
Log cabin star
Jan 12th
Yet another quilt made for a friend who defended her dissertation and now works as a professor of sociology in Texas. She asked for subdued colors, since her house is decorated in beige and light green, and I think the light blue and bright red squares work very well.
I ended up doing a fair bit of straight-line quilting on this one; my walking foot certainly got some exercise here! It doesn’t show up very well in the original picture, but it adds to the clean lines of the quilt.
