Rhiannon's Quilt

I found a gorgeous Bargello pattern by designer Becky Botello, tomake for my daughter and journal the journey here on my blog. To view the Quilt Progress only just click on the tag that reads, Rhiannon's Quilt.

The Pattern is Bargello Heart by Beck Botello. Check out her shop on Etsy, and she also has beautiful quilt videos on youtube.

I completed my fabric key at 3 am this morning. For me that is the most time-consuming, thought provoking and CRUCIAL part of beginning a quilt, besides the actual pattern. Two of the florals that pick up the purple and dark green are repeated on the opposite side of the darks resulting in 13 total fabrics in the working tubes.

Family & Friends Lap Quilts

I enjoy this size because its still easy to Free Motion the entire quilt without having to free motion sections and then put together later. The Peach-N-Pink one only needs the hand-work on the binding whipped stitched, and the other is just the top piece finished using tubes in a Bargello Style. No actual patterns used, just some 'figgerin' in my head as I cut.

English Paper Pieced Mini-Quilt

A relaxing and fulfilling way to create intricate blocks. I enjoy doing one block and binding even the smallest endeavors accomplished with this technique.

Excellent tutorial on English Paper Piecing found at Applique'n Patch Quilting:
