I told you that a ton of people are having babies. This particular quilt went to a two-month-old, so I was a little behind there. But still, two-month old babies still need quilts

Three small quilts
For my three-year-old's birthday in January, I made him this quilt just out of a Cars panel. I quilted it with my (then) new machine. It was one of the first, so I was figuring things out. Anyway, I didn't bind it, because I ran out of time. So I bound it last week. Finally. After months of him saying, "You needa fix my 'Queen." So now it's fixed.

A number of years back (a rather large number) a friend gave me some Harry Potter scraps. My son wanted it for a quilt. I'm thinking this was six years ago. I just finally bound it last week. It's way too small for him, but he's so happy to have it, and he uses it to snuggle under when he's reading. I just used all the scraps I was given, and that's the size it ended up.



So I have three finishes, but I started the Round Two Nine-Patch One-a-Day with Amanda Jean. Hey, I've got scraps coming out my ears, and this is a great way to get rid of them. I'm cleaning out my Christmas scraps, so there will be some old pieces in there. I may do a second one of just regular random scraps. I like how everyone's quilts are turning out like that. I haven't started or even decided about that yet, though. Anyway, so I'm at 73, but I truly hope to have five more finishes this week with the quilts I have to just bind. Here's hoping!

Another blue and yellow
I actually pieced this top several years back. It is a pattern from Hopskotch Quilting. She has some really great patterns on her site. I first saw her stuff in a quilting magazine, and have been hooked ever since. My Starflowers quilt is one of her designs.

My first quilt
All right. So I probably missed the parade of quilts, but here's my first anyway. Or close to my first. My first few quilts were just two sheets put together and tied. I don't think that counts. This one was made 11 years ago for my oldest daughter -- a reward for her potty training. She'll love that I told you all that.

Lucky me and a giveaway link
Last month a new website was launched -- Australian, but also available for us Americans. It's called SEWN. Anyway there were a ton of people doing giveaways in honor of the blog launch. I won Jeannette's giveaway. It took a while to get here, because she is in New Zealand. Thanks, Jeannette. I was so excited to get this. I love the fabrics you chose for me!

In May, Sew Mama, Sew had their May Day Giveaway, and I was fortunate enough to win an April Cornell Spring Magic Jelly roll from Quilt Qua. I had forgotten to take a picture or even seem grateful, but I was so excited to use it, that I made this coin quilt right away. I had enough left over to make some tiny whirlygig blocks -- well, to cut out some whirlygig blocks -- not made yet.

Sailing Sadie
This one has been quilted for a while -- several weeks -- just awaiting binding. Apparently I do not like to bind. Too bad I don't live near Amanda Jean or Jill. They'd help me out.
