I recently spent a weekend at my mum's house where I slept under a quilt I'd completely forgotten having made years ago for my sister Lizzie. It's a scrap quilt made of lots of snuggly textures - flannel, corduroy, velvet, suede.

Griff's baby quilt
My friend Rhys and his partner Nia recently had a beautiful baby boy called Gruffyd. I made them this baby quilt using scraps of shirting fabric, and simple quilted lines on every other strip block.

In progress - Indigo baby quilt
I bought a stash of Indigo patterned fat quarters and white-on-white printed fabrics last time I went to a big quilt show. I cut some of it up into 2inch and 2.5inch squares, and then ran out of steam. But I've recently discovered how to make quarter-square-triangle blocks, and so I used up some of the larger squares to for this, and turned it into Ohio Stars. I still need to back it, but I'm planning to sew buttons on as laid out here to quilt it simply.
Another baby-sized quilt, but as I (stupidly, as always!) didn't wash the fabric before I got carried away starting, and as it's indigo it will inevitably run, this of course won't be suitable for a baby as I don't think you'd ever be able to wash it without it ruining! So it will have to become a wall quilt instead. Ah well...

In progress - shirting scraps baby quilt
This is the front of a baby quilt I still need to finish. It's made with scraps left over from the wedding quilt I made for my friends Adam and Bex - vintage shirt fabrics from Worn and Washed.

Vasarely quilt
This quilt is based on a Victor Vasarely artwork called 'Tlinko'. I made it as a present for my mum, who hung it on her wall in her government office! It uses the same basic applique technique that I've used before (see my easy baby quilt and Steve and Ali's rainbow quilt), this time with a few other not-quite-square polygon shapes to add to the optical illusion.

Adam and Rebecca's wedding quilt
I made this quilt as a present for my school friend Adam's wedding to the lovely Bex. It uses the same Kaffe Fassett layout as my first quilt. This quilt is made with recycled blue and white shirting fabric from Worn and Washed Fabrics.
