Quilt for Great Niece

Front 

Back

I made this for my sweet Niece's first baby which will be born in Oct.  She is expecting a girl and we are SOOOO EXCITED!  I can't wait to get that sweet angel in my arms, she will be my first great niece :)

First Quilt I made for myself :)

I made this quilt for myself (YAY) with Sweet Shoppe Calico Candies by Benartex.  I love this happy fabric! I even bought some extra yardage to make a pieced back for it.

Paris Flea Market Pillowcase

I had enough fabric left to make myself a matching pillowcase for my birthday quilt, I can't wait to sleep on it! 

Here is a closer view of the scalloped borders, I didn't get the corners exactly the same size, maybe with practice I will be able to do that.

Paris Flea Market Finished!

 

I made one of these for my sweet aunt's birthday and I loved it so much I HAD to get more of the Paris Flea Market by 3 Sisters for Moda.  This fabric is one of my absolute favorite fabrics of all time.  I am so glad they re-released this line. This is my first attempt at a scalloped border.  I love the affect it has.  I used the Eleanor Burns ruler and followed this Missouri Star Quilt Co tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIHhTxTpMQ0 and the pattern is the 10 Minute Block by Suzanne McNeill.  She has a tutorial for it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTHlGGKMPM.  This is my gift to myself for my 51st birthday.
