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)?

First of all, let me apologize for the poor quality photo of this quilt. Keep in mind, though, that this picture was taken with a digital camera in late 2002. The quality of cameras and print outs back then weren’t quite up to today’s standards.
While I have been jumping around a little bit, I am trying to post my quilts in the order that I made them (somewhat)… This was the 3rd quilt I made (in case you missed them, the first one was a Simple Rail Fence and the second was a super-hard quilt called Flying Home).
Remember the memory bears I posted about awhile back? They were made from grandma’s clothes. It was that grandma I made this quilt for. She seemed so excited when I started quilted I immediately wanted to make something for her so I chose this quilt and worked hard on it to get it done in time to be a birthday gift.

Awhile back, I shared a couple of quilts I made using a stack of fat quarter cuts of fabric called Comm by Zen Chic. If you remember, I shared a 2-Sided Brick Quilt I made using some of the fabrics in the stack and a strip quilt made using more of the fabric. This Bright bullion quilt was my choice for using up the last little bit of it.
