Mr Roboto Quilt

I finally got into a sewing groove and sewed with this new fabric line that is out called Beep Bots by Jillian Phillips. The minute I saw it I knew I wanted it for this quilt.

I had a totally different quilt top made out in the beginning and for the first time ever for me I un-picked the whole thing because I just did not like it. It did not turn out like I wanted it to. I am so glad that I did since this is what I wanted it to turn out to be and I LOVE the wonkyness. The quilt measures 40" x 52".

The quilting is geometric to add to the whole robot thing. To bad my lines are not straight. But I think it looks great on the back of the quilt.

These robots are so fun aren't they?

Then to top it all off I made a carseat tent/cover to go with the quilt! I just LOVED mine to death they are the best thing.

I used a the stripe for the binding but wanted to see the green so I used that for the straps.

I hope its new owner loves it all as much as I do.

On The Go Quilt

I made my first boy quilt! One of my friends is having her first boy and her shower is today so I can finally post pictures of the quilt.

On The Go Quilt


I am calling it On The Go since I used my coveted Japanese cars print.

Back of quilt


It is 33" x33". It was supposed to be 36"x 36" put with quilting and washing it shrunk alot more than I was expecting. I was in awe of my 4 corners and that they all match up. Who knows how I did that! I also free motion quilted it with white thread as I wanted the quilting to stand out.

I also did my new favorite which is a pieced binding! I am really loving it.

I hope when Stetson gets here he will love it too.
