My Favorite Quilts...

So what are my own favorite quilts I’ve made?

As you know, that is a tough question.

Each quilt that I make, esp. the ones that are more work, become like a child to me. I am attached to them. Now, if I only spend a couple of days on the top, I do not get these same feelings. However, these shown here are probably the favorite ones I’ve made.

At least today.

This is a constantly changing list - so forgive me if you see something today and think I’m not telling the truth because it used to be something different. They are not in the top order - but random. I can’t really decide a topmost one.

I’ll link to the pattern if it isn’t my own.

  1. Granny’s Selfies

2. Arapaho Roads

3. Bargello from Eileen Wright

The quilt pattern is by Eileen Wright and is from the book More Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts. (affiliate link).

4. Triple Irish Delight

5. Double Star Beauty

7. Starring Monkey Wrenches

8. Sweetness and Light

I’ve made this one two other times as well. One is not yet quilted, but Lord willing, will be in 2023.

9. Label Equalizer

There is no pattern as all I did as cut 3.5”squares which included the label. I sashed the squares with 1.5” cut sashing and that’s it.

10. Sunshine - Shirts in Polish folk fabrics

This pattern is called Sunshine and is from our friends at Moda. Here is the link to the free pattern.

11. Show Off (all of them - I’m very happy each time with how they turn out) (4 are finished - the pink one isn’t quilted yet) We currently use the original one on our bed. (men’s shirts - plaids burgundies, etc.)

12. Double Nines - upcycleds in black, red, gray, white

I have never made up a pattern, but the layout is found here and is based on the 9” finished block shown in the diagram below. You are welcome to make one yourself using the diagram. The little 9 patches are 3”x 3”. Someday I will write up the pattern.

13. Sheet of Stamps

14. Flat-Top Scrappy Pyramids

15. All the Bargellos that are from the pattern Surf Song. I’ve made many (8!) Click on the arrow to go to the next one.

The pattern is by Eileen Wright - called Surf Song and is found in this book Twist and Turn Bargello which can be purchased on Amazon. Here’s a link - which is an affiliate link for us.

And that’s it! I’ve had a long week - and I hope you’ve had a good one as well!

Thanks for coming along with me!
