Space Geek Quilt

One of my friends is coming out to visit in August and I decided to make something to give her when she comes. She's been taking about finishing a full sleeve with a geek ship theme. Was able to find 3 of them at Jo-Ann and whipped this up in a day. 

  

Made my own pattern in this one. I think I might rip the edging this week and make it a little bit wider, I have a few weeks and a deadline on this one

Here's a shot of what I did today

Jelly Roll Race Quilt Remix

Spent too much time on Pinterest over the weekend and decided to make a quilt. I had attempted a jelly roll quilt a while back that came out far too narrow. I found this pattern http://www.modabakeshop.com/2014/07/jelly-roll-race-remix-quilt.html

It uses two jelly roll quilt and I decided to use it as a guideline for mine. Wasn't able to find a lot of options out there for remixes on jelly rolls. 

This is what I ended up with.

It measures 32x28 perfect for my almost 2 year old.

I had bought some fat quarters in the fabric a while back (I actually made a 2T dress that's awaiting buttons with this line). I ended up cutting 8 8 1/2 x 7 1/2 squares, and 32 4 x4  1/2 squares to piece together for the back. 

Day 2- 

Added a border and assembled with batting. Also used some of the leftovers to make a matching pillowcase.

Day 3: pulled the white border off the front and replaced it with gray today, also started a new quilt. 

Making a geek theme quilt, came who with my own pattern. 

Ended up splitting the quilt front/back to make two separate quilts.  Finished the first one last night

Used some star minky for the back, didn't line it so it's nice and light for the summer.
