Princess Quilts

The photos above are pictures of the 2 Princess lap quilts that I made with fabrics from a quilt kit from the Quilts from the Bluffs Quilt Ministry that I belong to. The quilt on the left side is done in a kind of modified Log Cabin style block. I tried to use the same fabrics but in a different order for each block to give it more interest. The quilt has 8 of the Disney Princess picture blocks on the front with 2 name blocks. I forgot to take a picture of the back size of this quilt because I had a couple of extra Princess blocks and extra 4 patch blocks from the other quilt. That I made a different pattern on the back side as well. Sorry that forgot to take a picture of the back of this one. The photo on the right is the other Princess Quilt that I made. I had enough of the Belle Blocks to have one in each corner and the Name block in the Center. The 4 patch blocks are made out of a Barbie Princess Print, Lavender Floral Print, Pink block Flower Print. The backing on the quilt is done in a pink flannel with a pink stripe binding to give it more interest. The photos of the quilt blocks seem a little off in Color because I was trying to play with the Color saturation to get better quality and seem to make it worse.

Quilt Ministry Quilt

This quilt is one from the Quilt ministry and I'm not sure what pattern that it is but the color combination is great. I quilted the center portion of the quilt in a diagonal. I started out by doing each of the block section with the stitch in the ditch fist. I stitched the diagonal line in a free hand style. The outer border as quilted in diamond pattern that matches the inner diagonal lines. The back of the quilt is a ivory flannel. The binding was done in a decorative stitch that went with the design of the quilt or the stitch pattern that I did. I am not sure that person or group will get i it but I know that it will be loved or used to keep the warm and feel comfortable if only for one night. Since the quilt is a little larger than lap size it could go to the Hospice or Mohm's Place Homeless Shelter. I know that all of us who worked on the quilt did it with love and the hope that it will comfort someone at a time of need.

Jan Quilt Day Quilts

The following picutres are from quilts that I made at a local Quilt Ministy Group in Council Bluffs called Quilts of the Bluffs. I was able to finish these two Lap quilts made of Flannel Fabric. I had never done a regular type of quitl before and especially never done it with flannel fabric. The quilt that is pictures is called a Barney Block. I got the fun pleasure of working with this robot anf spaceship fabrics. I was able to use some of my decorative stitches for each quilt.



The Pictures at the top of this posting are a closeup of the decorative stitches that I did for each quilt block in the quilt. The bottom photos are of the quilts finished and almost finished. All of the quilts that we make at this Minisrty either go to Project Linus or to Local and Area hospitals. I think that thte group is taking over 80 quilts to the Project Linus Blanket Day here in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. The group is always looking for quilters to come anad join us the first Saturday of every month. I you are unable to attend and would like to help out in any way. We do accept donations of fabric, batting, sewing supplies and notions that are associated with quilting. I have just started with is group and I already feel a sense of satifaction. I know that I am helping others out and making them feel better in a time of need.
