4 - Quilt for Ollie (Spike)

Originally I was going to finish up another quilt I had in progress for my new nephew.  I dug it out and immediately hated it so instead I started a new low volume quilt using mostly scraps and stash fabric for him.  It’s basically a log cabin quilt although the blocks are various sizes so I mixed in some extra scraps to even it out.  I love how it turned out and how cute is it will sweet little Ollie?

It also has a little tag I made this says his name on the front and mine on the back.  

Also huzzah this is third finish of the year! 

Icy chaos or Icy Waters Quilt

Finally I finished this quilt.  Two years ago I took this workshop with Indy Modern Quilt Guild and started this guy.  I decided to shrink the blocks and use patterns where most people used solids.  The pattern is by my friend Amy Garro from her book Paper Pieced Modern it’s called Icy Waters; although I call mine icy chaos.  I love it although I wish there was more of the darker fabrics.  Jones immediately claimed it as he loves quilts.  

The quilting is like waves although since I picked a aqua so close to the color scheme it hard to see it.  After I washed it the quilt is super soft.

The back is entirely pieces in leftover fabric and the binding I think is a cotton steel with a little bit of pink moda to jazz it up.
