Quilt #3 and Quilt #4

Hi!  Miss me?  Unfortunately I am a night blogger and considering the fact that I am pregnant and usually wiped out by nights end, this little blog has gotten the shaft.  Fortunately for you, it is Saturday and Erin is home and I am experiencing a little thing called nesting/getting shit done before the baby comes!  So, I give you the quilts of 2012 and 2013! 

Love Quilt

My mother in law bought me this lovely Amy Butler fabric, her Love line, for my birthday a while back and I made Julia a quilt for her big girl bed way back when.  However I am just getting around to photographing it.  It has been through the washer several times and just keeps getting better with all the washes.  I used Jeni Baker's Plus Quilt Tutorial for this.  It was easy and a fun way to incorporate a whole line of fabrics.  The back was probably my favorite part.  I decided that I needed to start adding labels to my quilts.  Means more when you know a little more about it right?

5501 Brick House Quilt

This is my most recent 2013 quilt.  I bought this fabric, another Amy Butler line, Lark, at my favorite fabric store in Grand Island, Material Girl Fabrics.  It came with the whole line in 1/4 yard cuts.  The pattern is Amy's Lotus Brick Path Quilt.  I wasn't really whoopdee about using it just because it was so simple and similar to my first quilt, it did go together very fast and I used a super high loft polyester (eek!) batting to make it more of a cozy comforter than a traditional quilt.  The batting wasn't as shifty as I expected it to be and was surprised how nicely it did.  I will never use navy blue as a backing again.  It attracts the yucks like kid drool and messy hands.
