Like all quilters, I have accumulated a few UFOs (unfinished objects). When I first started quilting, I worked on a sampler quilt using pink and blue fabrics. I only completed a few of the blocks and have long since lost the sampler quilt pattern. I moved and longer wanted a quilt in these colors for my bedroom. So what to do with the sampler blocks? After seeing my Birds in the Air block, a friend suggested finishing it as a crib quilt and donating it to our local Women's shelter. Great suggestion! I used MyWebQuilter .com to create a pattern for this little quilt. This is a picture of the actual quilt. MyWebQuilter .com has a new quilt pattern gallery. You may copy quilts from the gallery to access the pattern, learn how to use MyWebQuilter .com and/or use gallery quilts as a starting point for your own quilt design. I put this little quilt in the gallery. Check it out! Happy Quilting.

I tried her first block option in MyWebQuilter .com and agree with here that it just isn't right. The strips take over and the cute cow fabric gets lost. I came up with two possible options using MyWebQuilter .com. Simple sashing with the cow fabric with black for the sash intersections, keeps the focus on the cow fabric. You could easily test different sash fabrics, such as the pink polka dot, using MyWebQuilter .com I also like combining her blocks with a simple 4 patch quilt block in pink and b...

Several weeks ago, I posted an example Hearts & Diamonds quilt design created in MyWebQuilter.com. My friend Glenna and I both made wall hangings using this design. Thi s is Glenna's. She used multiple red batiks and cute heart buttons to embellish the quilt. On my Hearts & Diamonds wall hanging, I used a pink metallic bat ik in the background and quilted it with silver metallic thread. (Every girl should get some silver with her hearts and diamonds on Valentine's Day!) Use MyWebQuilter.com today to design and make your own version Hearts & Diamonds quilt!
