My first solo quilting project using the Bountiful pattern by Busy Hands is all finished. The Doctor Who fabric was all thrifted yardage. It's busy, and evokes chaos, but I think that's a fine vibe for the Doctor.

Jade Garden bed ensemble is finished! I love the borders! Louisa loves matching dresses. I quilt it with the Spring Sunrise pantograph set by Christy Dillon. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt  #longarmquilting

The Jade Garden Flimsy is finished. It's too big for my design wall. The border pieces were pretty. Now I'm working on the quilting plan. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt #handmade

Pleased with my progress on Jade Garden. The blocks are assembled. I still need to add three more borders. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt #handmade

I'm making good progress on Jade Garden. This was a free pattern from Wilmington in 2021. I'm loving these colors. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt #handmade #batik

She is done!!! This watercolor quilt is based on my Cross in a Rose cross stitch design. I am very pleased with it. #benitamakes #watercolorquilt #finishedproject #quilt #quilting #quiltsofbluesky #ilovequilting

I'm on the homeward stretch on quilting this watercolor quilt.

I won thread chicken!!! This makes up for losing bobbin chicken many, many times on this project.

Looking at backing fabric and binding for the watercolor quilt. This pink cotton was a Goodwill find (about 3 yards for $4.99) and the purple binding has been in my stash for years. The batting is two pieces zig-zagged together.

The watercolor quilt top is done. Next is to choose the backing fabric and get out the batting. I'm hoping, since this is a wall hanging that won't be washed like a quilt for a bed, that I have enough pieces of leftover batting to make a frankein-batt. #benitamakes #watercolorquilt ##quiltsofbluesky

Nearly finished with the Fibonacci Fleurish flimsy. Just need to add borders. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt #handmade

Currently testing the pattern for a Fibonacci quilt my husband designed. It's easier and faster when you follow the pattern. LOL #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt  #handmade #fibonacci

Baby quilt finished…thought I had pretreated all Cherrywood fabrics, but the darkest brown bled. Washed the whole thing with synthrapol and it disappeared, thank goodness. I didn’t have to name it “Bleeding Hearts” after all. 😊

This was actually someone else's UFO. I would not have chosen these fabrics, but I'm happy how it turned out. It was was the first time I made a flange binding because the leftover strips were not wide enough. #quiltsky #quilting #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltersgonnaquilt

My newest watercolor quilt is coming along nicely! I hope to make it to the halfway point on it today.

Finally, I've been in the mood for quilting again. Finally finished this Nine Patch Twirl with Flowerhouse fabrics. Quilted with Color E2E by Anne Bright Designs. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt #handmade

The scrappy Broken Bricks quilt is finished. I made this from leftover bits from earlier projects. That border has a lot of seams! I quilted it with Hibiscus Tea pantograph. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #quilter #quiltsofbluesky #quiltingismytherapy #patchwork #quiltlove #quiltersgonnaquilt #handmade
