Quilts of 2015

I went through the archives and pulled all of the quilts Kelli and I made in 2015.  I thought we didn’t make a lot of quilts in 2015…but we did.  Grab some coffee and read along.  This is a long post…

In 2015 we did a blog hop showing off the quilts from our book Country Girl Modern.

This is School Bus.  You can read more about it HERE.    These quilts were technically made in 2014 but we never showed them off…just the backs so I’m including them in the 2015 quilts as that is when the book was published and was the first time we could show the quilts.

Here is Modalicious.  It was made with all Moda fabric.  You can read more about it HERE.

This is Puddle Duck.  It is also in our book.  You can read about it HERE.

Also from our book is Modern Day Patriot.  You can read more about it HERE.

This is May Flower.  Also from our book.  Read more about it HERE.

This is Connect Four from our book.  Read more about it HERE.  This is a fun quilt as it is made with two charm packs and yardage.

This is Bohemian Rhapsody.  Also in our book.  Read about it HERE.  This is a favorite of mine!!  I love the fabrics in this one!

Also from our book is Thanks to YOU!!  When I made this, I put out a call to blog readers to send a neutral 2 1/2″ strip.  It was so fun.  I’ve made three of these quilts.  You can read more about it HERE.

The next quilt from our book is Pilot Knob.  Kelli made this top.  I finished it.

Almost Amish is also from our book.  I made this top in one day.  Read about it HERE.  It’s a quick quilt.

Rainbow Connection was one of the first quilts we made when we put our book together.  Kelli didn’t want to sew this one as she said it was just like putting borders on borders on borders.  She’s right.  It is, but I loved making it.  Read more about it HERE.

I didn’t do a lot of sewing in early 2015.  We moved in January and it took a long time for us to get everything set up.  I also started childcare in February and was working full time.  Out of desperation, I set up a sewing machine on the main floor.

I spent a lot of time paper piecing my Pineapple Crazy blocks.

As the year wore on I did get back my sewing room set up and going and ended up accomplishing quite a bit.

I made another of our Connect Four quilts.  Read about it HERE.

I made a baby quilt with leftovers from a fabric line…

Read about it HERE.   I want to make another of these.

Our Strawberry Sunday Quilt was featured in Quiltmaker.

Here it is all laid out.  You can read more about it HERE.  This is a favorite quilt of mine.  I did all of the work on this one.

Our quilt made the cover of this quilting calendar.  What an honor!!

Read more about it HERE.

I finished my Spoolin’ Around quilt just in time for the retreat we hosted that Bonnie Hunter was at!!  I brought my quilt and she took a picture with it with me!

You can read more about the quilt HERE.  This is a favorite quilt of mine.  I’d love to do another marathon quilt like this.  Making all those spools made my heart happy.

We had this baby quilt featured in Quilts and More.  It was part of a challenge to design a project from a jelly roll.

Our Midnight Hour quilt made the front cover of Amercian Patchwork and Quilting.  You can read about it HERE.

This was a fun quilt to make!!

I made a wedding quilt for my niece Ariel and her hubby Sam.  You can find the free pattern HERE.

I finished this quilt…Read more about it HERE.  This was the third time I make this quilt.

I finished this quilt, Pinkie Swear.  You can find a free pattern for it HERE.  You can read more about the quilt and find more pictures of it HERE.

We had this quilt in American Patchwork and Quilting.  It is Stars and Scraps Forever.  You can find more info about it HERE.

I made another Bohemian Rhapsody quilt.  This was was gifted as a wedding present.  You can read more about it HERE.

I finished Grand Illusion.  That was a Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt.  You can read more about it HERE.  I gifted this to someone but don’t remember to who.

I also finished Bonnie Hunter’s Wild Child quilt.  You can read more about it HERE.  The quilt can be found in this book.  I went on to make another of these quilts as a gift for a childcare kiddo.

I made Craig and Kalissa’s wedding quilt.  Read more about it HERE.

The pattern came from this book  From the Cover: 15 Memorable Projects for Quilt Lovers.  Here’s some good news…Amazon has used books that are selling for $5 plus the shipping.  It’s a good book.

Kalissa and Craig’s quilt is this one that was on the back cover of the book.  Kalissa picked the colors for this quilt.

We were a featured designer in a book, 75 Fun Fat Quarter Quilts.  The book is still available through Amazon HERE.  Here are four of six or seven quilts we designed and are in the book.  Quilts from other designers are also in the book.

All of our quilts featured a Churn Dash block.   We have 6 or seven featured quilts in this book.  Read more about his quilt HERE.
Here is another from the book.  We called this on Miss Molly.  You can read more about it HERE.

This is another quilt from the book.  This is “X” Marks the Spot.  You can read more about it HERE.   This was so fun to make!!

You can see that all of them were a play on the churn dash block…one of my favorite blocks.

Our Paddle Wheel block was featured in Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks.

You can see the block above.  I ended up designing a quilt with the block.  This was the backing I pieced for it!

We have this block in the fall issure of Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks.  I designed this to be used with shirts.  I’d love to make a whole quilt with this block.

Kelli made Blue Skies.  It’s a Bonnie Hunter quilt from the book String Fling.  You can read more about it HERE.

Kelli made Scrappy Mountain Majesties.  She made her blocks smaller.  It’s a free Bonnie Hunter pattern.  You can find it HERE.  I did the machine quilting and binding.  You can read more about it HERE.

I finished a few charity quilt…

Those are the quilts of 2015.  It was so fun to put this together and look back on the quilts we made.  I hope you enjoyed the parade too!!
