Quilt 144 - 3 yard challenge

 My quilt group (Telequilters) had a challenge whereby we all made the same 3 yard pattern, but each using different fabrics.

We all had to donate 1 yard of a fabric we had in our collection.  Those donations were then swapped anonymously within the group, and we then had to add on other fabric from our own collection to go with the donated fabric.

The colour combination here is much 'louder' than what I usually used, but having to add from our own collection was a good change to push my colour boundaries.

Quilt 143 - Block Munki

I came across this pattern online, and think it's called Block Munki.

I'll see if I can find the site and link it here.

I love the feature fabric, and how the pattern used a bunch of smaller scrappy pieces.

This quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 142 - Pink French Braid

I am a big fan of Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville, and this is a pattern from one of her many wonderful books.

I love a scrappy quilt, and had a great time making this from a beautiful range of fabrics donated via St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville.  So good to keep remnant fabric out of landfill, and making them into cute quilts.

This quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 141 - Frogs

 After spotting some cute frog fabric in the collection of fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville, I wanted to make a quilt with them.

A simple pattern, with a variety of sashing fabrics.  The quilt also gave me a chance to experiment with my free-motion quilting .  I think the result is very cute.  This quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 140 - Red White Black

My quilt group (Telequilters) had a quilting challenge for the Christmas 2023 meeting.  We had to make a quilted item with the theme 'red, white, black'.

I made a quilt, using black and white fabrics, with red sashings.

It is made from a Bonnie Hunter (Quiltville), and I need to look up the pattern name.

This quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.

 

Quilt 139 - Country Retreat

 For my quilt group (Telequilters) retreat in 2023, we had to make a quilted item with the theme 'Country Retreat'.

I made a quilt.  Fabrics were sourced from generous donations from the St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville.

This quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 138 - Indigenous Spring Twist

I think the name of this quilt pattern is Spring Twist.

I made it with some beautiful Indigenous fabrics that were gifted to my sister (we share a house, and share the quilts on hand).

Quilt 137 - James 2023

This is a quilt I made for my godson James for Christmas 2023.

I need to find the pattern details and add them to this post

But here is a picture of the quilt:

Quilt 136 - Australiana 2

This quilt is based on beautiful Jocelyn Proust fabrics, which I got for my birthday.  I used a 60 degree ruler, and supplemented with other fabrics from my stash.  I will be keeping this quilt for personal use.

Quilt 135 - Australiana 1

 This quilt is made from beautiful Jocelyn Proust fabrics, which I got for my birthday.  The pattern I used is based on a disappearing 4 patch (I think).  This one will be staying in my personal collection.

Quilt 134 - Teddy Bears

 Another quilt made from remnants donated by the St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville.  This quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.  I'm really liking the dark blue alongside the cinnamon brown fabric colours.

Quilt 133 - Floral Stars

 I love a good floral quilt.  This one is made from remnant fabrics donated by the St Vinnies Op Shop in Alstonville.  Finished quilt has been donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 132 - Joan's quilt

 My friend Joan wonderfully kept a lot of her daughter's special dresses from when they were younger.  She asked me if I would make a quilt for her out of the fabrics.  I was so excited, but it took me quite a while to build up the courage to start cutting up these gorgeous outfits!

I love the resulting quilt, Joan loves it even more which is the best thing ever.

Quilt 131 - Jim's Scrappy Mountain Majestics

 I made this quilt for my godson Jim.  The pattern is Scrappy Mountain Majestics, from the fabulous Quiltville site.

A combination of feature and filler fabrics used.  I am really pleased with the overall effect, and Jim loved it which is the best thing ever.

Quilt 130 - Christmas 2020

 I made this quilt a while ago, but have just realised it's not on the blog pics as yet.  I made this for Christmas 2020, based on a series of different patterns I found/purchased online.  If I find links to those patterns I'll edit the post and add them in. I was after a blue-based Christmas quilt, and was really happy how this turned out.  This is a quilt for me, and it's now pulled out each Christmas and used on the bed.

Quilt 129 - Fabric ladder

This quilt was made from fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop in Alstonville.  I always have fun going through the donations from them, and picking up fabrics which (I hope) go together and make an interesting quilt.

This quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids.

Quilt 128 - Isolation Blues

 My quilt group used 'Isolation Blues' as the theme for our quilt retreat in 2021.  The quilt retreat itself didn't go ahead due to covid, but everyone still made their challenge projects and we brought them for show 'n tell the first meeting back that we had in person.

I made this quilt as my challenge piece.  It is from a pattern in 'Supersize 'Em!' by Debby Kratovil, which is based on oversized blocks.

I made this quilt using fabrics from my stash, and the quilt is going to be donated to Quilts4Kids

Quilt 127 - Jewel Box

This quilt was made from another fabulous pattern (Jewel Box Stars, which is a Leader & Ender pattern) from Quiltville.  

Very grateful that Bonnie shares these wonderful resources.

This quilt was made from fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville, and the quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids in Lismore.

Quilt 126 - Grassy Creek

This quilt was made through a fabulous mystery quilt, which ran over 2020/21, run by Quiltville. 

Once again, fabulous quilt designers/producers sharing wonderful patterns - which is so fabulous.

This quilt was made using fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville, and the quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids in Lismore.

Quilt 125 - Australiana

This quilt was made using fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville.  I found a piece in the fabric donation bag which was the gorgeous Australian native animals, and then paired complementary fabric with it.

The quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids in Lismore.
