My baby size Prismatic Party Quilt is done!

My February Finish it list has rolled over into March. I haven’t had much time to sew this month, but I was able to finish up my baby size Prismatic Party Quilt!

I started this quilt during the Quilt Along in 2022, you can find all that information here: Prismatic Party Quilt Along! – Happy Cloud Creations

I quilted this one be lining my walking foot up with seems of the design, so my quilting lines echo the design. I bound it with some navy and white striped fabric by Riley Blake Design. I love how it looks with the beautiful backing fabric, which is Riley Blake – Liberty Fabrics – Bloomsbury Blossom.

It feels good to get a unfinished quilt out of my pile of needs to finish! Hopefully I can finish up some more soon!

Happy Quilting!

Finish It QAL – 2nd Week progress!

This month I’ve decided to join in on Village Bound Quilt’s #FinishItQAL (I’m also a sponsor!).

Yay! I’ve finished my baby size Infinite Night Helix Quilt. This is my first quilt finish of 2024! I think I will wash this one and add it to my Etsy shop! This pattern comes in several different sizes, so I wanted to make the baby size since it’s a slightly different design that the other sizes.

Next up, is my baby size Prismatic Party quilt. I have this whole week off work, so I’m hoping to get this finished this week. I need to sew the backing fabric, baste, quilt and bind it! At least the binding is already made.

I started this during a Quilt Along I hosted in February of 2022.
Here are the fabric’s I used in this quilt:
A – Kona – Grellow (yellow)
B – Kona – Nightfall (navy)
C – Kona – White
D – Kona – Woodrose (pink)
E – Riley Blake – Liberty Fabrics – Bloomsbury Blossom
Binding – Navy and White striped fabric by Riley Blake Designs

Happy Quilting!
Andrea

FinishItQAL – First Week’s progress

This month I’ve decided to join in on Village Bound Quilt’s #FinishItQAL (I’m also a sponsor!).
Last weekend I basted and started quilting my baby size Infinite Night Helix Quilt. I didn’t find anytime to sew during the work week, but I’m back at it this weekend.
Yesterday, I finished quilting it! I did a basic straight line quilting around the design. Then I echoed it out into the dead space. I used my hera marker and ruler to mark out where I wanted to quilt it.

I was digging through my fabric bins, hoping to find more of the dark Flora fabric that is inside the quilt to use as the binding. But I remembered I used it up when I just recently made potholders.

So, I found this navy and white stripe fabric made by Riley Blake Designs. I have plenty to use for this baby quilt and the baby Prismatic Party Quilt, that I will be working on next.

So, It’s time for me to go make some binding!

I hope you are getting some sewing/quilting/knitting or whatever you love to do in this month!

Time to Finish Some Quilts!

I was really wanting to finish up some of my unfinished quilts, and then I saw that Tiffany from Village Bound Quilts is hosting a #FinishItQAL on Instagram this month! So, I thought I’d join in, and I offered to be a sponsor! (You can win 3 of my PDF patterns, your choice. Also, a bunch of other great prizes from other sponsors.)

You can join the Village Bound Quilt Finish It Quilt Along and enter to earn prizes here!

I only have 5 unfinished quilts right now, because I did a couple FinishThoseUFQs a while ago. I’ve updated my Quilt Progress Tracker to include a couple more steps.

I’ve organized my list in the order that I started them.
1. Throw size – Butterflies and Blooms I started this quilt in July of 2021. The top is completed, I need to buy some backing fabric for this one.


2. Baby size – Prismatic Party Quilt – I started this during a Quilt Along I hosted in February of 2022. I have the backing and binding fabric all picked out for this one.


3. Baby size – Infinite Night Helix Quilt I started this one in August of 2022 before I hosted the quilt along. This quilt top is done and the backing fabric is all ready!


4. King size – Infinite Night Helix Quilt I started this one in September of 2022 when I hosted a Quilt Along with this pattern. This King size is for our bed. I have the 3 rows sewn. I need to sew the sashing between the rows. I may send this one to a longarmmer once the top is done.


5. Large Throw – Seismic Impact Quilt I started making this one in July of 2023. I had this fabric in my stash. I decided to make a scrappy version. I still need to purchase backing fabric.

I’m not sure which I’ll start first…maybe the Baby Infinite Night Helix, since its the closest to being done.

I hope you join in and can get some quilts done too!
Happy Quilting!

SnowBell Prize QAL Week 5 – Finish our Quilts

It’s WEEK 5 of the SnowBell Prize Quilt Along! This week we will be finishing our quilts. If you aren’t quite ready, that’s ok! I had to make this a super quick quilt along so I could finish mine by tomorrow! My daughter’s teacher is having a staff baby shower tomorrow! Yay! I finished on time!

I backed my quilt in this super cute fabric by Ruby Star Socitey, it’s called: Winderglow Fauna in Blue
I bound the quilt in the Swiss Dot in Denim fabric by Riley Blake Designs. I found both at StashFabrics.com. (not sponsored, just like this shop)

I usually bind my quilts in a darker fabric, but this time I thought it would look cute to have the white dot fabric surround the quilt.
I quilted this by going diagonal through the blocks twice, horizontal twice and vertical twice. I was kind of going for a Snowflake quilting vibe.

Join me today for a LIVE video check in! If you can’t view it live, no worries. It will be saved to the Facebook Quilt along group and YouTube for later viewing.

It’s WEEK 4 of the SnowBell Prize Quilt Along! This week we will be making all of our Block 2’s. This block will go together super quick since all you need to make is some Diamond in Rectangle units. If you have ever made a stitch and flip block, it will be a breeze!

Since I am making the baby size, I only have 4 blocks this week. Feel free to make the size quilt you would like!

I have 1 week left to finish my quilt, so I need to work a little faster than the quilt along!

I will be jumping on a LIVE Video this morning to go over Block 2! If you miss the LIVE video, it will be saved to my FB group and be uploaded to YouTube.

It’s WEEK 2 of the SnowBell Prize Quilt Along! This week we will be making all of the corner units for all of our blocks. I like to make all of these units at once, since all of the blocks have them.

If you prefer making one block at a time, that’s great too! Decide how many blocks you want to complete this week and go for it!

First you will make half square triangles for each block. Make sure to trim them to the correct size. Then you can sew your units together.

Make sure to post your progress photos in the HAPPY CLOUD CREATIONS QUILT ALONG GROUP or on Instagram with the Hashtag #SnowBellPrizeQAL I’d love to see your photos!

Happy Quilting!
Andrea

It’s time to grab our fabrics, press them and get to cutting! I’m making my daughter’s Teacher a baby boy quilt. This quilt along is very fast paced because I need to finish my quilt quickly. You can feel free to work at your own pace and take your time.

I prefer to cut all of my fabrics for all of my blocks all at once. Then I can get to sewing.
If you prefer to cut one block at a time, go for it! This may be an easier method if you are going super-duper scrappy.

Fabric I am using:
You can find all of these at StashFabrics.com (Not sponsored)
Around snowflakes, all Dear Stella Fabrics
Dash flow: Blueprint, Riviera, Cobalt, Starlight and Aruba
Moonscape: Denim, Spruce and Wasabi.
Snowflake: Riley Blake Designs: Swiss Dot in Denim
Backing fabric: Ruby Star Society designed by Sarah Watts: Winderglow Fauna in Blue
