Postage Stamp Quilt Top

Hooray!  I finally finished my postage stamp quilt top!  It looks like it took forever, right?  It did take awhile, but not as long as you might think, because I used Rachel Griffith's (of P.S. I Quilt) great tutorial.  I've got a creamy yellow sheet for backing, and I know exactly how this baby is going to be quilted, so hopefully I'll have a finished picture to show soon.

Special thanks to Chelsea for her help with this picture.  See her shadow there?  Isn't she cute?  :)

Central Park Doll Quilt

Yesterday I finished this doll quilt.  I didn't mean to make a doll quilt, but I've been working on a larger postage-stamp quilt Kate Spain's Central Park line, and I had extra blocks after I finished piecing the quilt top.  ...Just enough for a doll-size quilt!

Actually, this was a good chance to try out my straight-line quilting idea... I like it a lot, and will definitely use it on the bigger quilt.  I backed this with some Heather Bailey Nicey Jane, and bound it with some Kona Ash.

It's doing a great job of brightening up the walls in my sewing room!

I'll be posting on the larger quilt soon.  :)

WIP: Central Park Postage Stamp Quilt

This week I got two lovely jelly rolls in the mail:  a white Bella Solid, and one with the entire Central Park line by Kate Spain.  I love this line - lots of vibrant blues, purples, oranges and yellows!  I'm making a postage stamp quilt, using the quilt-along directions from p.s. i quilt.

First step:  unroll those jelly rolls!  

Next, I sorted the fabrics into color groups. I've been busy sewing the strips together, alternating the Central Park prints with the white solids.  I'll post again when I get to the next step!
