My first time paper piecing.
I had to concentrate a lot and I thought this was supposed to be really easy regarding accuracy - but my blocks are off by 1/8 inch Maybe it is the combination of printer/thickness of lines on the paper/folding of paper/sickness of seam after pressing?
Nevertheless, I still like it. Just have to be careful during assembly of the quilt (luckily the rest is just charm squares).
Happy Go Lucky Baby Quilt by Carla
Via Flickr:
Made with a charm pack of Happy Go Lucky by Bonnie and Camille for Moda. The blue fabric is Robin’s Egg from Moda Bella and the white is Free Spirit Winter White (I think). I quilted it ¼ from the seams with Aurifil 50 wt in white and hand quilted lines along the borders with Aurifil 12 wt. The binding is from Jenean Morrison’s line Silent Cinema. Backing is from Lizzy House’s line Hello Pilgrim. Blogged at coraquilts.blogspot.ca/2013/06/a-happy-go-lucky-baby-quil…
“Embrace the Chaos” baby quilt: I finished up the baby quilt that I started at a workshop in April with Libs Elliott, hosted by the Ottawa Modern Quilt Guild! I’m really happy with it. The softer low-volume palette was different for me, but I think it still worked in this modern style baby quilt.
Quilty details:
- * 30″ x 30″ square finished size
- * Used several fabrics in soft colours, including Kona cottons, Lecien First of Infinity, Libs Elliott, and Cotton and Steel
- * “Collage” fabric on back
- * Faced binding to finish up with a clean edge
I’m not sure where this one will end up yet - for now, I have it hanging on the wall in my sewing room, and I’m kind of liking having it there!
Linking this one up with Finish it up Friday!

“Embrace the Chaos” workshop: Last month, I was lucky enough to attend a workshop by Libs Elliott, hosted by the Ottawa Modern Quilt Guild. Libs showed us a fun, randomized way of designing a quilt. I finished up this small 30″ square quilt top during the workshop!
I took another class with Libs way back in November 2015, soon after I moved here from Edmonton. I never finished that quilt top, though! I thought that I might make a low-volume background for the bright hexagons that I’d started back then (see pic with the hexagons over the other patchwork) – but then decided I liked this one too much on its own!
It felt pretty good to have something finished by the end of the day. I think I’ll add some sort of borders and make this a baby quilt!

Baby quilt for my nephew:
Over the Easter long weekend a couple of weeks back, I went to visit my new baby nephew, and brought him a quilt that I have been working on for a long time! This is the first and only quilt that I’ve entirely hand-pieced and hand-quilted. It is also made out of the scraps of the quilts I made his parents for their wedding present, so it has special meaning!
The quilt fit in very well with his adorable nursery and I hope that it will be used and cuddled over the years. It is very crinkly and soft already, and hasn’t yet been washed!
Quilty Details:
- * Approximately 35″ square finished size
- * Hand-pieced using English paper pieced diamonds, using Kona Cotton scraps from the gemstone quilt I made for the baby’s parents’ wedding present
- * Hand-appliqued to backing fabric (Kona Lemon)
- * Hand quilted using perle cotton; 8-gauge for most but 5-gauge (thicker) for the white
- * Backing is an Art Gallery Fabrics print

Baby quilt: I’ve been working little by little on a special baby quilt! This quilt is hand-pieced and hand-quilted for my first niece or nephew (the parents decided not to find out whether the baby is a girl or boy). The quilt was made from the scraps of the wedding quilt that I made for the parents - so it has more meaning for their family!
Ihand appliquéd the English paper pieced ring on to the plain backing fabric and have been using thick perle cotton for the quilting. I will add a few more lines of quilting around to make sure it’s secure, then I’ll finish it up with binding. I think it will be super soft and cuddly for a baby!
