Mine, all mine

I jumped on board the selfish sewing train and made this quilt, (oh and another one) for me.  All me! Muwahahahaha.  I missed the deadline to join in the fun, but I'm still posting it.  It's all about me, right?

Baby Jane Churn

Made entirely out of Baby Jane and a coordinating mint green solid (Aqua, Bella Solid by Moda).  I used the Missouri Star churn dash tutorial on using a layer cake.  I still have 1/2 a cake left!!  Woohoo!  This is throw size, perfect for me.  This was super easy, and no waste!  Even better.



I mixed it up a little, using a solid background on two of the blocks.  It fits my 'modern-traditional' style to a T.  A little bit of old and a little splash of new. :)


It's no surprise that I ♥ a good text print, but this one had me at the little quotes...I especially love this one. 'Live the life you love, love the life you live'. ♥
Yup.  Enough said.

Yummy binding


You can find me here....relaxing in the cool evenings with my very own quilt.  ♥  Oh, and um, my other 'very own' quilt, is coming soon...I have two quilts stacked and ready for binding...so you might find me snuggled up under those.  ;)

  1. I might need to make something similar. I have a layer cake just waiting to be used, and almost 3 yards of solid that I purchased for another project. Good for you, making a quilt for yourself! It's beautiful!

  5. Ooooh I love it! Congratulations on your selfish sewing! I got mine done late on Monday too, haha (another Washi). I figure it still counts, even if not officially. That blue background solid you chose is an absolute knockout. I love non-white backgrounds!

  7. Wow, who knew half a layer cake could go so far? It looks great and coordinates perfectly with your outdoor seating. :) Looks like a perfect spot to enjoy an evening.
