The Scrappy Lone Star Quilt (Update)

Obviously I took a hiatus from this blog for awhile. About mid-summer, 2014 became a busy year for me and my quilting buddies. There have been new pregnancies, celebrations, heartaches, illnesses, and adoptions... just to name a few! Not to mention my own sweet toddler becoming a bit more adventurous and daring whenever she thinks I'm not watching... So while all of this was most certainly NOT happening directly to me, we had to put our little quilting sessions on hold for awhile to take care of the home fronts and had some donuts/coffee/playdatey sort of chats instead. ;) 

Here is my progress on the quilt so far... I think most of the girls are close-ish to this point. 

By the way, I (obviously) absolutely love Kate Spain's fabric! The Lone Star fabrics are from Terrain while the toddler's Easter dress was Good Fortune. Sneak! There may be another Good Fortune project coming soon.... ;) Also, an oldie but a goodie, the Central Park crazy quilt I made for a precious friend... one of the sweetest baby girls ever! There is no rhyme or reason to the fabric placement... I began this during a crazy strip quilting class at a local quilt shop in South Carolina so it was completed in a timely manner since I didn't have the opportunity to spend hours and hours working out fabric placement and then changing my mind 4-5 more times! The appliquéd giraffe was a personal touch for baby girl that I was set on doing after being inspired by a different quilt on Pinterest and being unable to obtain the original pattern (revised and out of print). Also, since her older brother's quilt was appliquéd she needed hers to be too!

Random fleece back fabric I found at Hancock Fabrics.... sure do miss that store now that we're up north!

Annnnnd since I'm pulling out the OLD stuff, here's that sweetie pie's big brother's quilt. A good one of the top (my first time appliquéing on something that wasn't just practice scraps).

Completed quilt!
