Project List: To Dos To Do

Here are the quilts I am planning to make with my mountains of fabric. List does not include baby clothes, miscellaneous gifts or home dec projects.

Pile of baby clothes projects (minus brown gingham, that is not for baby clothes)

Currently making:
  1. double-gauze yellow/white/grey/blue HST full-sized quilt; planning to use no-binding technique & possibly quilt with hand weight fabric, planning to use Robert Kaufman Essex Linen on back  
  2. Children At Play balloon bunny crib-sized quilt; another opportunity to practice mappliqué, may do some FMQ on it
  3. You Are My Sunshine grey & white crib-sized quilt; made this to practice mappliqué, has a minky back (awesome), currently stalled because I am attempting to hand bind it & I hate sewing by hand


Have started cutting:
  1. double-gauze yellow/pink/white small blanket; could be other good option for testing quilting with a heavy weight thread 
  2. matching twin quilts- giraffe & hippo rainbow quilts like bitty baby's crib quilt 
  3. Heather Ross Briar Rose rainbow quilt for me; planning to make this pattern full-size & make it more in the style of Made by Rae's original Heather Ross Rainbow Quilt & plan to use up all fabrics in the line, not just 17, & will change layout slightly & & & . . . more posts on this coming soon. Feel free to join me for world's slowest quilt-a-long. You'll need 1/2 yard of each fabric + backing. I think it will be a large full-size when finished. 
  4. Heather Ross Briar Rose big girl quilt for my niece; will be approx twin-sized, not sure if I will make another rainbow quilt or some other pattern, make mix in some white or these super pretty coordinating solids
  5. queen sized Liberty snowball quilt; this is one of those quilts that I think will take me 10 years! I have collected a ton of rainbow Liberty pieces & want to make a quilt with a rainbow/ombré pattern around white snowballs (started this long before Heather Ross rainbow quilt came on my radar) a queen-size quilt is a MAJOR undertaking for me & I will probably have to have it professionally quilted 

Have started hoarding:
  1. blue & yellow nautical (Storyboek) quilt; I think this will be a zigzag quilt using the nonHST technique 
  2. blue/grey/white mod boy's quilt; lots of Japanese imports, may use HST set on point? 
  3. low volume quilt inspired by Red Pepper Quilts; may try using double HST in this quilt? so squares will be made out of 4 triangles
  4. Aneela Hoey A Walk in the Woods pinwheels quilt 
Things I want to make but haven't necessarily bought for yet: 
  1. gingham quilt; I am hoarding some Riley Blake large gingham for the back of this,  LurveGah, so good
  2. herringbone quilt; I haven't seen one exactly like what I want & I keep putting this pattern off b/c it seems like it wastes a lot of fabric
  3. lots of ombré things with white backgrounds; maybe I will make a rainbow ombré quilt with white for my niece's Briar Rose quilt
