The Plus Continues

Finally! last night I actually got to work on Bam's plus quilt. Well not too much I got to finish 3 rows, only 11 to go! With this type of quilt you need to make sure that you follow the seam allowance (1/4") perfectly otherwise things don't match up too well. So far so good, usually I have to rip a couple seams out; but I haven't touched that little seam ripped once yet. Notice I say "yet", we're only 3 rows in people! While I got the chance to sew last night, Bam got to watch her shows in Mommy and Daddy's bed with all her animals and blankies. I was glad she was relaxed, usually as soon as she hears the sewing machine she's in the kitchen asking if her blanket is done yet.

Been Looking...

I have been looking for a  pattern using triangles for a while now. Something to use up a bunch of scraps with. A BIG thank you to a fellow quilt blogger In Color Order (Jeni) for posting this quilt she's working on. I love this girls blog! The pattern she followed for her prism quilt can be found at Janome + Anna Maria's blog. First take a look at Jeni's blog, she has posted a picture of her layout. It's gorgeous!

Plus Quilt

I just started Bam's Plus Quilt last weekend. By started I mean cut it all out and laid it out. I'm hoping that I'll have some time before this weekend to sew it together. I am using a tutorial for this quilt which can be found at Jeni's Plus Quilt Tutorial I hope mine turns out as nice as hers is. Here's my layout so far. Jeni's tutorial is for 19 x 16 rows but for some reason mines only 14 x 16 rows. Oh well it's for a 3 year old and she can't count that high yet! As soon as the top is done I'll post more pictures.

How It All Began...

This is my little Bam. She has been the inspiration that has set my quilting addiction into full speed! I first started my adventures in quilting almost 4 years ago while I was pregnant with her, plus I had a whole lot more free-time back then! Now I get to quilt on the weekends and once in a while at night after work.
