Good Fortune Baby Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party!

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

Oops, I totally forgot about Finished or Not Friday!  Some secret pattern designing and sewing have taken over every brain cell; that's my excuse!

My Finish is a patchwork baby quilt in Good Fortune by Kate Spain.

This quilt was sewn and quilted several months ago, but I found nothing in the stash that matched for binding, so there it sat.  Somehow, a fabric came through the door {cough, cough} during a stash-building spree that just happened to match.

This quilt will be for sale in my Etsy shop as soon as my imaginary fairy helper gets it there.

Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  10" squares patchwork
Size:  38" x 47"
Fabric:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Quilting:  Orbit Chevron on Gratitude
Backing:  Fun polka dots, probably Riley Blake

My Finish is a lap size patchwork quilt in Good Fortune.  This is the last of this collection in my stash.  I am beginning to see shelves in my fabric closet again!

The pictures were taken on what hopefully wasn't the last sunny day until spring.  😨  It's really gray here in the winter which makes it difficult to take pictures of quilts.

Pattern:  Big ol' squares.
Size:  47" x 57"
Fabric:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly

Hello Sunshine - An Orange and Pink Strip Quilt

Mrs.Sunshine is a custom quilt for customer who found my quilts on Craigslist. My customer purchased The Backing That Became a Quilt Top Which Became a Quilt and liked that quilt so much that she requested a quilt in the same pattern with oranges, hot pinks, and mustard.

 

This quilt includes the very things she loved about her first purchase - strips of fabric carrying over to the back and scrappy binding.  I'm happy to create a quilt to reflect exactly what you have in mind!

She's a super cheerful quilt, ready for a cozy snuggle! Scrappy binding made from six different prints. Quilt Stats:

• Pattern:  Strip quilt, my own design.
• Size:  57" x 60"
• Fabrics:  A mix of quilt-shop fabrics, including Cuzco by Kate Spain, Spot-On, Dear Stella, and many more.
• Batting:  100% organic cotton
• Binding:  Double fold, scrappy, attached by machine for durability with mitered corners.
• Value:  So sunshiny!

This quilt is a custom order.  If you would like to discuss your next custom quilt, please feel free to contact me.

Good Fortune Quilted Table Runner

Another WIP finished!   ... Good Fortune Table Runner ...  I just love this fabric!   This quilt top is leftover from the Good Fortune baby quilt I made awhile back.  The quilt top ended up too wide for a baby quilt, so I left off these three strips to make a table runner.
I am running low on this fabric, so if you would like a custom size table runner, wall hanging, or baby quilt with your choice of pattern, let me know soon!
Quilt Stats:

• Pattern:  Sashed rows of blocks
• Size:  17" x 36"
• Fabric:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain for Moda and Moda Bella White
• Batting:  100% cotton
• Backing:  Queen Street by Jennifer Paganelli for Free Spirit
• Quilting:  All over meandering stipple in white polyester thread on Mrs.Bernina, my old 830 which was my grandmother's.
• Binding:  Double fold, attached by machine in Queen Street by Jennifer Paganelli for Free Spirit.
• Value:  Modern goodness!

This quilt is for sale in my shop, Busy Hands Quilts on Etsy!

Good Fortune Baby Quilt or Tablecloth

Good Fortune by Kate Spain is such a fun collection to work with and makes such a pretty baby quilt.  It has a bit of an Oriental / Japanese flair to it.  I ♥ the mix of flowers and dragonflies and really ♥ purple and orange together!  This quilt would also be very striking as a table top quilt or wall hanging. The pattern looks very basic, but it takes care to get the strips straight - 'cause if you don't, it sure shows. Coordinating two-tone wave backing in vivid blue. This fabric also waves at you in the quilt front. The quilt top ended up larger than baby size, so I left off three rows of squares sashed in white from this project, and I am making them into a table runner, hopefully this week. She'll look sweet anywhere - rolled up in the diaper bag, flung over a chair, or lying in a heap on the floor, drenched in cracker crumbs. Quilt Stats:

• Fabric:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain for Moda and Kona White
• Pattern:  Rows of squares sashed in white
• Size:  37.5" x 38.5"
• Batting:  100% cotton
• Quilting:  Dense allover meandering stitch in white polyester thread on Mrs.Bernina, my old 830 which was my grandmother's
• Binding:  Double fold, attached by machine with Good Fortune fabric
• Value:  Modern sweetness!

This modern patchwork quilt is for sale in my Etsy shop for under 100 bucks!

Good Fortune Baby Quilt!

I ♥ Good Fortune fabric by Kate Spain!  Just a few days after receiving this precious bundle in the mail, I chopped into the fat quarter bundle, cutting 10" and 5" squares, and 2.5" strips, and whipped up this fun baby quilt!  I used straight-line quilting to continue the modern theme of the fabric.

♥ Yeah for a sunny day to photograph a quilt outside! ♥

I ♥ making quilt backings from coordinating prints in the fabric line!  The backing wasn't quite big enough, so I added a strip of  leftover scraps bordered in white which finished it off just right!

Here's a close-up of the scrappy binding, also made from Good Fortune fabric.

Quilt Stats:

• Fabric in Top, Backing, and Binding:  Good Fortune by Kate Spain for Moda and Moda Bella Solid White
• Size:  35" x 37"
• Batting:  100% cotton
• Quilting:  Straight lines
• Value:  So cheerful!
