9 Patch Bridal Shower Quilt

This summer has been busy with weddings! My two best friends of 15 years are both getting married a month apart! For one of their bridal showers, I had the brilliant idea of making a quilt for her, but little did I realize how busy I was going to be and how much time it took up to make the quilt! Luckily I finished the final touches of the quilt the day before the shower, talk about cutting it close!! The only type of quilt I have conquered is the 9 patch quilt, so I thought I would keep it safe and do that for this quilt, but I swore to myself my next quilt will be something else!

This was the first quilt I made that I gave away, and boy was it hard to say goodbye to it! I fell in love with the fabrics and the colors, I may have to make one for myself with the left over fabrics!!

The label is a picture of our group of best friends 6 years ago!

Marmalade

I was so excited to get this fabric in the mail this weekend! I received 4 mini charm packs of Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille for Moda. It was love at first sight! I cannot wait to get started on a new quilt with these beauties :)

Lucy's Crab Shack Quilt

I made my first quilt this past September. It is a 9 patch quilt and I used two Lucy's Crab Shack charm packs by Moda. I loved all the prints in the pack! I used 7-7 1/2"x 9- 7 1/2" patches. These were perfect summer fabrics and I absolutely love everything summer!!
My two miniature Dachshunds especially love the quilt and I always find them laying on it or under it!

9 Patch Cupcake Quilt Progress

Since we were so busy with the move, I had zero time to work on the cupcake quilt. Finally tonight I sat down and finished sewing the top of the quilt! The quilt is 6-7 1/2" x 8-7 1/2" squares. Since this is my second quilt ever, I decided I will not put any borders on this one and just do the binding. I did not like figuring out the two borders on my last quilt!

I went to Capital Quilts today and picked out my backing and binding fabrics. Luckily I found some fabric that was half of for my backing!

Hopefully this week I can baste the quilt and quilt it!
