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?

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)?

I will admit I have checked out some patterns and even bought a different book that teaches the quilt as you go method. Every time I pick it up to try it, I change my mind. Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern: Fresh Techniques for Busy Quilters
