Little Tunics

I made these little tunics as custom order in my etsy shop. 

I've listed two of them as custom order since I have few yards left of the same fabric.

First Post of 2014 - A very hungry Caterpillar quilt

Oh.my.God ...I haven't been blogging for a loooooong time! Well, I mostly post my work on my facebook page or my Instagram.

The last few months I've been busy with my Etsy shop, taking few orders for passport wallets, tunic, quilts etc. It's been quite a busy months for me.

Few months back, I was doing this very hungry caterpillar quilt for one customer. Panel quilt seems easy to do, but it's quite tricky if you don't plan properly. Or maybe it's just me ^^.

I always need to draw the quilts I am going to make with detail measurements of the block's size.

There was few ripping moments while I was doing this one. It's really a learning experience for me.

It was really fun doing it and I'm happy that she liked the quilt too! 

Until Then...

Black n White Pinwheel Quilt

I've done my second custom order of big summer quilt. This one is 84" x 102". She asked for a black n white quilt for her son. So, since I love Pinwheel, I made this one for him. 

Done and delivered:

They were very happy with this one and the Pink and Lavender one. In the end, a happy customer is the biggest reward. They really made my day. 

More photos available in my Google + Album.

Pink and Lavender Quilt

Finally I did it!!. I'm so excited cos this is my biggest quilt so far. It measured 84" x 94". It takes rather long to finish cos I was not sure I can quilt such a big quilt in my home sewing machine =,=. 

So, here it is, my first custom order quilt: 

She wanted in Pink and Lavender. I  got the idea from one quilting magazine. It's basically a half log cabin block, I simply changed the arrangement of the blocks. 

Luckily, I got a matching lavender paisley fabric. It's lightweight cotton which become soft after washing. 

This time I learned that taping your fabric nicely really helps in making the quilting sandwich. It makes the pinning process easier. 

Since the quilt is quite big, I used a faux binding ^_^...yep, I bound the quilt from the excess of the backing fabric. It's quite tricky but I managed. I guess this is the best binding option if you're making a big quilt. Get a matching or contrast fabric and voila you'll get an interesting binding ^_*.  

There are few tutorials on the web, but mainly you only have to cut off the batting and trim the backing to  approx. 1"-1.5", folded twice  and bind your quilt. You can check THIS TUTORIAL by Rae 

That's all for now. Gotta go and do my long list of WIPs now..^^
