a finished baby quilt

I finally have a finished quilt to post!
This is a "scrap quilt" mentioned here made from the leftover fabric from the "wavy" quilt, still unfinished (waiting for some Kaufman Prisma Batik in Lilac for the border).
Luckily for me, I had a baby girl and the girls will be sharing a room in the future, with matching quilts!

Started: May 2011
Completed: July 2011
Fabric used:
~ Lila Tueller Eden in Lilac
~ Kona Solids White
~Kaufman Prism in Lilac

Machine pieced and quilted on
Bernina Activa 230PE

Quilting: all over free motion spiral swirls

4 Quilt Tops

I currently have 4!, yes, 4 quilt tops that need to be "sandwiched" and quilted.
Why?
#1 -not enough batting for all of them (more is on the way)
#2 - baby quilt - I can't finish this one before finishing big siter's quilt, which I can not do, due to reason #1
#3 - not enough room to quilt the borders on the "couch throw" quilt - 72"
#4 - needs to be quilted with monofilament thread -not my favorite

So, while I wait for the batting, what do I do?
Plan a new quilt, of course!

This one is based on 
Quilts On The Double: Dozens of Easy Strip-Pieced Designs

I love the concept: easy strip pieced, triangle cut quilts. One set of strips creates 2 similar (in color and composition), but not identical quilts.

Perfect for siblings sharing a room.

Fabric groups I'm using are dark grey, charcoals and black; second group is blues. With Kona Coal as an accent color.

About quilt tops and finished quilts

I haven't updated in a while..
My latest completed project was a ...baby.
Now that she is almost 5 month old I can get back into serious quilting, sewing, knitting.
New baby means new baby quilt of course! Lucky for me it's a girl and I have leftover fabric from Eden "Wavy" quilt.
Here are some pictures of quilt in progress.

It's a simple strip - pieced quilt with white sashing and borders.

The Finisher...

This nap mat with matching pillow was started in 2006 for my second son's 3 rd birthday.
It's 2010 and it was finished last week. What needed to be done? Just hand-sewing the binding.
Why did it take so long? No idea! But I finished it just in time for my youngest 3rd birthday:
Of course, it has someone's name on it, but when you are playing house, who cares, right?
