Midweek Makers

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

My share this week is two client quilts recently quilted. The first is a Japanese puzzle, dressed up with the very pretty Almond Blossoms pantograph, in Glide sand.

The second quilt is this very fun bookcase quilt, complete with kitty, lamp, framed picture, glasses, and a plant. Pantograph, also in Glide sand, is Paperchase.

That quilt brings me to last week's share, from Ulrikes Smaating and her bookcase quilt.

School Days Baby Quilt

My last quilt was School Days, made from 10 inch squares. Today, I'm introducing the companion quilt, in a smaller size.

This 38" x 38" baby quilt is made from 5 inch squares, using the same idea as the larger crib/toddler School Days quilt.

school fabrics made into two quilts

When my husband's coworkers were busy having kids, often the parents would request a toddler quilt to give to their new baby's sibling. These two are perfect for that!

And just like the larger School Days, the baby size has puzzle pieces quilted with variegated thread.

And there's the ABC's, and a couple leftover fabrics on the back.

Both of these quilts are for sale as a set in my QuiltFabrication Etsy shop. Tell all your friends about this great Christmas idea for the favorite children in their life.

Happy Quilting!
