Newest Regular Quilt Pattern

This is "The Man Quilt."  It was designed for my son, Rick.  As he left home to serve as an LDS missionary for 2 years, I wanted him to take a quilt made by Mom.  We looked at quilts, and he told me what he did and didn't like, and with his help, this is the pattern we came up with.

This quilt is Rick's, and is the original "Man Quilt." 

This "Man Quilt" is for Joe and Nancy, who were married in September 2012.  

The fabrics are a little more feminine for Nancy.
(You can see another picture of it in a previous post.)

This quilt is my middle son, David's "Man Quilt."  
His quilt is the picture on the pattern.

Get the pattern at Craftsy or Etsy.

New Denim Quilt Pattern

I'm working on a new denim quilt pattern.  I think I'll call it Denim Waves -- it's a beach quilt. 

Strips of denim are sewn together to make several long strips.  Then the top edge of the strip is cut to look like waves.  Every-other wave is denim, then I've put a hand dyed fabric wave in between.  And just to mix things up, I'll put a couple wedge shaped pieces in.   It's got a sheet for the back (I know... I don't use sheets for anything but denim quilts that will be used on the ground), and a thin cotton/poly batting.  It's quilted as-you-go, and I think this would be a great quilt to do on a longarm.  If I ever get caught up with T-Joe, I want to go do it on the Handi Quilter at the store.
