I made this Spongebob Squarepants for my son, Christopher, in March 2004. He loved the show and I was hooked on buying things on Ebay — which is where I found more than a dozen different spongebob Squarepants prints. These two things, along with the fact that he had been bugging me for a quilt since I made my daughter her Wizard of Oz Quilt, were the inspiration for my 13th quilt (made in March of 2004).

The only reason I am writing this post is because I want to post all of the quilts I have made. The Morning Glory Snowman Throw — which was my 12th quilt — was made using a kit I bought from Bay Window quilt shop… Did you notice there is no picture of this quilt? That is what happens when you forget to take a picture and then give the quilt away.

I figured now was a good time to introduce quilt project #11. After all, doesn’t everyone start decorating for Christmas as soon as Halloween is over?

I am always looking for an excuse to sew bags or pouches, so finding some pencil cases to sew seemed like a timely project!

When I was initially picking out fabrics for Blake’s baby quilt (before I had decided on the pattern) I was buying pink and green, along with a few purple fabrics that were too adorable. While I used the pink and green fabrics in Blake’s crib-sized baby quilt, I was left not quite knowing what to do with the purples. That is when I came up with the idea for this simple stroller quilt.

We are lucky enough to have 2 more grandson’s joining the family in the next few months so I have been searching for some inspiration to make them each a quilt. Besides searching online for baby quilt patterns, I looked back at pictures of baby quilts I have made.

I decided I am going to start alternating posting photos of older quilts I have made with posts featuring news quilts. I figured I better start doing this otherwise by the time I get around to posting them all, they newest ones would be pretty old… Make sense? 🙂

I took a break from posting my quilts for Christmas, and I left off on my #8 quilt, which was made from a deer panel. This quilt was #9.
The name of the quilt pattern is Belle Starr and it can be found in Terry Atkinson’s Lessons From Mama

This was my 8th quilt, made in March – April of 2003. I first found the deer panel and then found the fabric I used in the quilt. To make the quilt top, I used tan, blue, and brown squares, which I believe were 6-inches (finished size) and alternated them with rail fence blocks.

Ready to see the 7th quilt I made, way back in November of 2002? Don’t you just love the fun Wizard of Oz fabrics?
This Wizard of Oz quilt was actually the very first quilt kit I ever bought. I believe it was also my first visit to one of my favorite quilt shops, Bay Window Quilt Shop. Can I blame them that I now have an entire cupboard full of quilt kits (hahaha)?
