Birch quilt

Happy Friday. This week I finished the Birch Trees Quilt for my grandson Easton. He picked out the pattern (Bright Birch Trees from Crazy Mom Quilts) and the color palette. I am really pleased how it turned out. It was a real treat to work on, even though it was the second masculine quilt in a row I have made (the first was this one for my son Shane). This quilt was #2 of my finish goals for the 2015 Finish Along which I talked about here. I should be better about posting more regularly…

I'm happy to say this quilt is in Toronto and waiting for our new grandson who should put in an appearance anytime between now and early March.

This pattern is my very favorite way to use up tiny scraps....because you KNOW that I just can't bear to throw them away. I've been working on this…

I finished this quilt back in September but I wanted to get the pattern* written before I posted about it....so here we are in December. Everything takes so much longer than it should! This quilt is proof positive that every scrap deserves a chance. Even the little ones! I do love working with little pieces!!!! (I know, what a news flash.) :) The solids used on the front are Pure Elements by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery fabrics. They are super smooth and I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but…
