I’m in a quilting mood lately. I have ideas swimming in my head and a couple of projects on the go. It has made me keen to dig out some of my unfinished quilt tops and get them ready to quilt! So I thought for today’s Four for Friday I thought I’d share some of my favourite patchwork and quilting posts from the blog archives. Click on the quilt names or pictures to read more about each quilt.
Square Dance Baby Quilt
This is my all time favourite quilt I think. It was made for a very special little boy when he was a baby because his mum is one of my favourite people in the world. It was made from a book called Two from One Jelly Roll Quilts. (Affiliate link)
Christmas Triangles Quilt
I made this quilt to teach a class at Creative Craft Retreat. It is so fresh and crisp that each time I see it, it makes me smile. The simple triangles were quick to chain piece and I love the striped binding.
Tula Pink Quilt
I call this my Tula Pink Quilt because the fabric is by a designer named Tula Pink and it may have been the first time I found a range of fabric that I just had to have, even though it is not quite my usual style. This quilt is still unfinished in my stash, waiting for me to quilt it.
I Spy Quilt
This quilt lives on my son’s bed. It is an “I Spy” quilt with lots of bright fabrics showing all kinds of different things – animals, stars, musical instruments and flowers! I collected the fabrics when I was pregnant with my fist child and made a play mat out of them The leftovers became this quilt a few years later. There is a tutorial for this quilt too.
Do you have a favourite quilt project? I’d love to see a picture on The Crafty Mummy Facebook page or tag me on Instagram, @CraftyMummy.

I am extremely interested in the Christmas red owl quilt that you made. Is the fabric still available and if so where can I buy it?
Tonya Grant says
Hi Terri, I bought that fabric at Spotlight a couple of years ago so I’m not sure that it would be available anymore. I’ll keep my eye open this year as well though as I have seen similar fabrics come back year after year. I notice some of the Christmas fabric is starting to come into the shops already!
