I am thrilled that I my paper pieced block made it on the cover of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks, Vol. 13. This is my first time on a magazine cover!

 

 

I am soooo excited to announce that I will have a paper pieced block featured in the Vol. 13 issue of Quiltmaker’s 100 BLOCKS magazine.  This magazine features 100 lovely 12″x 12″ blocks in all varieties…paper pieced, appliqued, pieced, and mixed media (buttons, embroidery, etc.). The magazine only comes out twice a year, so don’t miss it! It hits the stands in early May, and I will send more information your way towards the end of April. The magazine in the photo is volume 12 from December 2015.

 

Gray and pink are such a lovely combination, especially in a child’s room. This adorable paper pieced elephant has a child like quality and is perfect for “Enough Elephants”.

Finding 6 soft shades of pink was so much fun. The quilt went together in no time!

 

This is a great quilt to snuggle.

 

It all started with this crazy gator. OK, it actually all started with the Moda Charm Pack “For You”, which I fell in love with. All those gorgeous cool colors! And the textures reminded me so much of gator skin.

Of course, 1 crazy gator was not enough. The greatest fun came from making the outer border using the charm pack squares. After a little math, I figured out how to use almost the entire pack for the border. Don’t you hate wasting any squares in those charm packs?

 

I saw some nice long skinny pillow forms when out shopping, so I had to make Later Alligator into a pillow! This pillow measures 14″x 28″. My good friend, Jan, likes a shorter pillow, so she made her Later Alligator to fit a 12″x 22″ pillow. Isn’t it adorable? I LUV the colors she chose! The pattern for the Later Alligator Paper Pieced Quilt and Pillow is in my Etsy store now!
