St. Louis 16 Patch | a quilt for Grant

 

This one is for Ezra's fencing coach Bailey's first baby, a boy she named Grant! Ezra loves fencing and the community he's found there so when I found out Bailey was having a baby I knew I wanted to make her a quilt. Her mom told me the baby's nursery was jungle themed so I pulled a bunch of greens from my stash along with some blues and yellows. I made sixteen patch blocks with all different low volume fabrics for contrast and I love how they turned out! My favorite is the lime green with black stars in the bottom right corner followed closely by the bananas.

pink patchwork | a quilt for my niece!

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first baby in December and it's a girl! I'm super excited to have a baby girl in the family since I have all boys and Matt's brother and his wife have two boys. It was really fun to use lots of my favorite girly fabrics that I've been hoarding for the right quilt. I loved using these cute Aneela Hoey panels as focal points for the blocks (my favorite is the little dress with shoes in the bottom right corner), and the princess and pea by Heather Ross on the back! 

patchwork chore coat! | for me

 

I made a quilt coat! It’s my new favorite article of clothing so expect to see me wearing it constantly. I told Matt that if our house ever caught on fire that this is what I would grab before evacuating, and yes, I made him do an entire photo shoot for me while we walked to dinner a couple weeks ago. The fabric is a print by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society called Honey Double Wedding Ring (yes, it's a cheater print - I wanted to use one for my first quilt coat because the pressure of choosing the right pattern and fabrics was crushing), the lining is Moonglow Dahlia by Alexia too, the binding is Starry in saddle, and I made cute patchwork pockets to coordinate. The pattern is by Patchwork & Poodles and it was excellent! I think a confident beginner could make their own quilt coat without a problem. So make one! Let's be twins!

midpoint III | a quilt for Audrey

I made this quilt for an old friend who was having her first baby, and when I finished it I had the idea of taking pictures at a mural near our house. The pictures don't do the quilt justice because everything looks yellow but I still like them! I took these first two images at home so the color is pretty accurate, but Ezra helped me with the rest at Garden City. 

tiny tiles VII | a quilt for Wyatt

 

This one’s for Wyatt! Another #tinytilesquilt (free pattern from purlsoho) with some anchors and whales on the back because these friends live on the Providence River ⚓️ Over the past few years I've enjoyed occasionally making sibling quilts the same but different - check out his brother Emmett's here!
