baby quilt

This is one of my own quilts... I just love those simple hearts in the setting blocks. 💙  it was good practice doing set-in seams.  It is about 46" square.

Just need to trim the edges, and then think about what quilting pattern i want to use~

trip around the world quilt

The front is made from t-shirt fabric.  Because of the stretch of the knit fabric, I "tied" it using a large X stitch on my sewing machine in every other block.  It's very soft and cozy!

I did not use any special needle for piecing it.  I do recommend using your walking foot if you have one..... my Pfaff has this built in for piecing.

custom made tshirt quilt

A grid-layout t-shirt quilt... 40 shirts, 5x8 grid.  Some blocks needed to be cut to smaller sizes to fit them all in.  I used tshirt pieces for the cornerstones to add some fun pops of color to the black sashing. 
It's quilted with the Meander Squared pattern.
