Amy Butler Set

A quick break from the set I started because the backing came in so I could finish this quilt and set. I am in love with how it turned out, it will be hard to mail to Australia, but hope they LOVE it!! I made a quilt, pillow sham and 2 16" pillow covers. More photos on my flickr site. I used prints from Amy Butler's Belle, Lotus, Midwest Modern & Daisy Chain. The back is Floating Buds in ivory.

What To Do With 24 Fat Quarters?

I was given the challenge to create a patchwork diaper bag, blanket and burp cloths from 23 fat quarters a customer gave me. I was giddy for the opportunity. I added one fabric from my collection to make an even 24 using Amy Butler's Midwest Modern and Daisy Chain fabrics. I started off cutting 5 1/2" strips and sewed them in groups of 3. I then began placing them where needed. For the bag flap I actually used the scraps from cutting the ends off of the strip groups. I put light blue minky on the back of the patchwork blanket. I am so pleased with the way it all came out. The aquas and greens really glow! It will be so hard to mail this package out today! :)
