Quilt Ideas - Sweet 'n Spookier

When I saw that Art Gallery Fabrics had a new Spooky/Sweet line from this collection available, I thought "didn't I just make that Spooky 'n Sweeter quilt?" But alas, it was a year ago. The new collection is called Sweet 'n Spookier and it is just too cute. 

For fun, I mocked up the Judy Quilt since that was the quilt I made with the Spooky 'n Sweeter collection, and then I added in some other mockups.

The Judy Quilt in Happy

After I made this quilt a few weeks ago, I really wanted to make another quilt using the Judy pattern. When Windham sent me some of Carrie Blomston's new Happy/Colorwash collection, it was perfect!

My kids regularly come into my sewing room and are used to seeing lots of fabric. They rarely comment on it these days, but all 3 of my kids told me that they loved this collection. I don't think that has ever happened!

Quilt Ideas - Ombre Galaxy Metallic

Last week when I was putting together mockups using the Elena Quilt pattern, I really loved working with V and Co.'s Ombre Galaxy Metallic prints so I thought they deserved their own post.

I have enjoyed Vanessa's ombre lines for a while (see here, here, and here) - there is a reason why they keep making them! I particularly like this collection because of the number of blue/green/purple options so I focused on those in a couple of the mockups.

The Judy Quilt in Stay Gold

A while back, a shop contacted me and asked if any of my patterns would work with the new Stay Gold panel by Melody Miller. I took a look around and realized it was the perfect size for the Judy Quilt pattern so I mocked it up and sent it over (see more mockups using this collection here).

But then I wanted to make the quilt. It is one of my favorite recent collections with one of my favorite patterns, so of course I wanted to make it. I want to make lots of quilts though, so I told myself "no!" and went on with other projects.

Quilt Ideas - Food Group

When I started buying fabric when I was a new quilter, I noticed something: I love to buy novelty fabrics, but I rarely use them. So for this Quilt Ideas post I thought I would do some mockups using Food Group from Ruby Star Society.

There are quite a few novelty prints in this collection mixed in with some very nice basics, but I wanted to show you how well a collection like this can work in a quilt pattern - this collection is pure fun.

The Judy Quilt - Spooky n Sweeter Version

 I got to make a little contribution to the Art Gallery Fabrics lookbook for their new Spooky n Sweeter collection - here is a slightly spooky (but mostly sweet) version of the Judy Quilt Pattern.

You know I love pink and purple, especially together, so this collection really caught my eye. The prints are super sweet too and it is a quilt I would use year-round, not just seasonally.

A Scrappy, Rainbow Judy Quilt

While I would consider almost all quilts that I make to be fun, there is a difference between a normal "fun" project and a "just for fun" project. This scrappy rainbow version of the Judy Quilt Pattern was the latter.  

One of the things that I love most about quilting is the idea that whenever I want I can make whatever I want. This doesn't happen that often because I've got stuff that has got to get done, but it makes those times when it does happen even more special. I have been trying to make more rainbow quilts and more baby quilts lately because they usually are "just for fun" projects.
