Trip Around the World Quilt

I finished up the quilt for Beatrix using a Trip Around the World pattern.  Here is the website I used for a tutorial, which was just great.  I did her variation using 9 fabrics. I used all flannel, and used the purple cupcake fabric for the back and binding.  It doesn't show well in the picture, but I quilted it by machine, following each fabric across the diagonal to make a diamond pattern.

The "Trip Around the World" comes together so quickly for the top.  I would do it again anytime.  My only suggestions would be to not pick directional fabric, or be prepared to seam rip and rotate a few squares!

Quilted coasters

I made these based on a tutorial from Martha Stewart.  The only thing I did differently was to use free hand quilting.  I figured this was a great size project to get in some practice machine quilting before working on wall hangings or quilts.  I love how quick they were to put together, how it used up some scraps, and how easy they are to toss in the washer when they get covered in coffee stains!

Fall quilted wall hanging

I just finished this fall wall hanging for my house. I hung it up in the family room, in a spot I hope to switch out with other seasonal wallhangings.

I found the pattern online here.
