Tangie's Baby Blanket - #2

I started Tangie's baby blanket a few weeks ago with the jelly rolls I ordered but I didn't really like what I had started - it wasn't pink enough so I started over. I downloaded a demo quilt program and created this quilt this morning. I went to JoAnn's today and bought more fabric and now I have started a blanket I really like. It will be a total of 12 squares. The backing I bought is so soft - it is going to be really cute once it's done. The shower is the first weekend of May so this will be my project for the next month. I hate sewing under pressure :0.

Here's the material I picked before I started cutting.
All squares cut. There are a lot of triangles!

March Block Swap

This is my March block swap block. My partner this month requested a nautical theme/colors. I couldn't incorporate the blues as much as I wanted but I think the block turned out pretty cute.

Somewhere in Time - March Block

I received my March block pattern today and had time in between girl scout cookie pickups to complete it. This one is called Crown of Thorns. I am really loving this quilt and I am so proud of my fabric selection :-). I hate that it won't be complete until December.

Tangie's Baby Blanket

NEW BLANKET!!! The jelly rolls I ordered on ebay came in this week. I'm excited! One of my best friends is pregnant with a girl. This blanket is going to be all pink for a little princess. I have a few ideas I'm still choosing between on design. I will hopefully get this blanket started this weekend.

Somewhere in Time - Jan/Feb Blocks

I started another quilt this weekend. This is the 2008 Block of the Month quilt on BlockCentral.com. I had a really hard time picking the fabric when I bought it a few weeks ago but I am really happy with my choices. This block is called a Union Square.


February's block is called Wyoming Valley. I will receive a new pattern every month to complete this quilt. Each block is different so it won't be complete until the end of the year. Each block is 18" so it will end up being a large lap quilt.I am not a traditional quilter but I really like the start of this quilt and can't wait for March's pattern :-).

February Block Swap

This is the block I made for my February block swap. This is not something I would normally make but I really like it. This block is based on a Pat Sloan pattern (by request). I had never heard of this quilter so I found her website very interesting. Check it out if you would like www.quiltershome.com she is very talented and has some great ideas and themes
Here is the block I received. Thank you Betsy :-).

February Block

I have started my Feb. block, It's almost complete. Hopefully I will be able to get it done this weekend. Let me know what you think of the material.
Here's an updated picture. Block is still not complete, I have to sew down the appliqued pieces.

Sunday....

I have been busy today. While most people are watching the game, I have been sitting at my machine (and watching Brett Michael's - Rock of Love, it is so strange its mesmerizing). I started 2 new quilts today :-). This is the first one. Each square will represent a month out of the year. This is January's block.

This is quilt #2. These are all western scraps I have picked up and collected over the last couple years. I plan for this to be a blanket that lives in my car for soccer games, etc. I'm thinking the backing will be blue jean - we will see. I guess I have some time for that. I need to complete 8 more squares. I know the blocks look pretty small in the picture but they are actually each 10".
