In January, I sewed a few quilt tops. In February, March, and April, I finished a bunch of quilts! So some photos of my finishes are below. There are more — I seem to have missed taking photos of some of them.

Bridget’s quilts.
Works in progress, January 2023
I’ve been making quilt tops this month. I started to do some of the sewing room declutter work alongs, but after I emptied the trash, I was so excited by how much space that gave me that I sewed up some quilt tops.
Bricks and Stepping-stones quilt
Finding myself a bit stressed by the news cycle, I looked around for a fairly simple quilt that I could make using the many 3.5 inch strips that I have cut over the last few years. I settled on a Bonnie Hunter pattern called Bricks and Stepping-Stones. It used a lot of 3.5 inch strips.… Continue reading Bricks and Stepping-stones quilt
Update on works in progress
I have a pile of quilt tops, some more recent than others that haven’t been profiled here yet. So this post is going to be a few photos and a tiny bit of text about each one. There are more, but I will save those for another day.
Quick 3 yard quilt finished
The Sew Yeah quilting family hosted a challenge: use 3 yards of fabric purchased at Sew Yeah Quilting and make a quilt. So I did. I used 3 yards of woven fabrics that I purchased during one of the destash events. As fabric goes, it is very lightweight; I was concerned about how it would… Continue reading Quick 3 yard quilt finished
Scrappy Bargello finished!
I’ve been working through some of my unfinished objects (fondly known as UFOs) and came across a quilt top that I finished years ago. Time to quilt it up. So I did. This is a very simple quilt to make thanks to Bonnie Hunter’s excellent instructions. I quilted it very simply using wavy lines roughly… Continue reading Scrappy Bargello finished!
Phoenix Quilt, 2021
This quilt was done as part of a Quilt-A-Long (QAL) this fall. It is still a top. It is a GEQuiltDesigns quilt pattern. Most of the bright fabrics were from a bundle that I bought at a Sew Yeah online destash. The burgundy fabric came from Quilters Corner in Ithaca. This isn’t my usual palette,… Continue reading Phoenix Quilt, 2021
Another 3 yard quilt: Broad Strokes
On Sunday (maybe Monday?) I decided that it was time to make another quick quilt. I recently purchased a few yards of a lovely Lewis and Irene print in gray (from the sale area at Quilters Corner) and looked around for fabrics to go with it. After a few trials, I settled for a dark… Continue reading Another 3 yard quilt: Broad Strokes
And now, the placemats
So I cut way too much fabric for the table runner and I also realized that we needed placemats with it. So I made some. Sort of loosely based on the runner, as those were the sizes cut, but some changes because placemats are much smaller. And they were not quilt-as-you-go, so I quilted them… Continue reading And now, the placemats
Quick table runner
I seem to have gotten behind on posting my quilts. Most are still just tops, but pretty nonetheless. This one is from GE Quilt Designs and is the Fast and Furious Club project for September 2021. This is a quilt as you go project and I did have some difficulty finding appropriate fusible batting. I… Continue reading Quick table runner
