Hello friends! It has been a great weekend. We celebrated Thanksgiving here in the US. There is so much I’m thankful for, but specially my little family. We spent many hours over the long weekend hanging out in my studio, listening to music and going on long walks. It was wonderful.

I finished the quilt to for my log cabin quilt I have been working on for the past couple of weeks. But instead of showing you a progress photo, I wanted to share with you another Large Granny Square Baby Quilt I finished a while ago. I completed it at the same time I finished the other Granny Square quilt I shared with you a few weeks ago. I have three Pugs so they all want their own quilt, lol

It has been great fun working on this one block quilts. I’ll definitely gonna be making more of these.

Wishing you a wonderful week!

I’ve been keeping this baby quilt under wraps for a while. It was a gift for a cousin who had a baby boy. So I wanted to wait until she received it to share here. I crated the pattern myself inspired by the many Aztec Quilt interpretations I’ve seen on Pinterest and I just love how it turned out. The black with the white and the green (or should I say Pickle green) are my favorite color combo lately. I just can’t get over how much I love all these colors together. I backed this little quilt with the softest flannel which happens to be in plaid. So cute for a baby boy I think.

I really want to recreate this pattern again, but in a larger size. Maybe a throw quilt… Oh so many quilts to make, so little time :)

I hope you have a wonderful week!

WIP: Log Cabin Quilt

Hello friends, how was your weekend? I started a new project and I’m super excited to see how it is taking shape. Log cabin blocks are probably one of my favorite to make; they offer so many possibilities when it comes to design and placement and they are really fun to make. For this quilt I went with a different palette from what I have been working on lately. I thought it was time to finally cut into my small (but very treasured) stash of Denyse Schmidt fabrics. For the center I chose my new favorite Kona Cotton color: pickle. I though a nice pop of color would be nice.

I can’t wait to put this one together… just a few more blocks to go and I’ll have a quilt top.

Wishing you a lovely week!

Large Granny Square Quilt

I’m still playing with scraps. But the pile doesn't seem to diminish much. I decided to try my hand at making a large scale granny square block and make it into a baby quilt. Or should I say a pug quilt… my pugs love laying on quilts so I like making them small quilts for their beds. They look pretty around the house and they are the perfect size to try out new pattern ideas or quilting techniques. Also, they are great scrap-busters. And as a bonus point, f they don’t turn out great the pugs are not very critical, lol.

Love the way this little quilt turned out. Super scrappy and the meandering quilting give is such a great texture. I think I’ll be making this pattern again.

Wishing you a lovely week!
