Faceted Ohio Star {Pattern Premiere}

I'm so excited that we've finished our Faceted Ohio Star Pattern!

This pattern can be found on Payhip!. I originally made this mini quilt as a part of the Printology hop with Benartex and the quilt uses 2.5" strips and yardage to create this faceted masterpiece!

For this quilt, you only need twenty 2.5" strips, one yard of background fabric, and one and a half yards of fabric for the backing. If you have strip stubs left over from a different pre-cut project, all three of our Faceted quilt patterns are amazing for both scraps and yardage! It does save a little bit of time if you start from 2.5" precut strips, but you could even use a few fat eights instead!

Do you have any suggestions for other blocks we should "Facet"? Get all three patterns on Payhip!

Brutal Honesty {July 2018}

The year is officially halfway over! I have managed to make a little dent in my list from January -- I've finished 6 of the things that were on that list (in addition to finishing an Island Batik Ambassador project every month!) but I've added four things to the list.

My goals for June were to finish my Traveling Quilt Bee which unfortunately didn't happen and to do some fabric shopping to finish some projects, which I did a little bit of. I still need some backings, but I would rather check things out at my local quilt shops before I order online.

Quilting in Progress:
1. Traveling Quilt Bee (2016) -- I haven't managed to get anything done on this. :(

Completed tops:
2. Magnolia Mystery QAL -- No progress
3. Double Delight -- The top is together and now I need to decide if I should add a border or not.

4. Blocked Rainbow Quilt --  The top is done and now I need to decide on how to back and quilt it!

Tops partially finished:
5. Bonnie and Camille C2C Bee Quilt -- No progress
6. Romantic Garden Quilt -- No progress
7. Monthly Wall Hangings -- No progress

Just blocks and units:
8. Pineapple Stash Bee Blocks -- No progress
9. Sew Kitschy Blocks -- No progress
10. Cubicle Quilts -- No progress
11. Happy Houses blocks -- No progress
12. Birthstone blocks -- No progress
13. Donuts quilt -- No Progress

Quilt alongs and long term projects:
14. Monthly Island Batik Ambassador projects -- My June project was my 30 Pearls wall hanging and for July our theme is secondary designs and I'll be working on a baby quilt for a girl!

15. Breezy Blooms C2C Bee -- I sent off Karen's quilt in June, received Stephanie's quilt to work on for July, and also got my own quilt back (early!). I'll be working on Stephanie's quilt soon!

New Projects:

16. Drift Away Scrap Quilt: I'm almost halfway done with the top! 

17. Overnight Delivery quilt for MBS: This quilt is almost finished and will be revealed soon! I say this about most of my MBS patterns when they come out, but this is one of my favorites! This is the second Sweetwater Christmas line I've gotten to work with (the other being Christmas Twirls which uses The Cookie Exchange line)!

My goal for this month is to finish up my additions to Stephanie's quilt for the C2C bee and then to start working on both my April Showers C2C quilt from last year and my Breezy Blooms C2C quilt from this year. 

I also picked the winners for the Island Batik scrap giveaway! Congrats to the winners.

Happy Monday! 

Drift Away {Half of a Quilt}

As I mentioned in my previous post about this quilt, working on putting together a quilt that is set on point sometimes yields some goofy quilt pictures! I am almost at the halfway point where the quilt is a single gigantic triangle.

Since I don't have a design wall, I typically use my carpets as my "design spaces". And since I have been working on this quilt on and off over the last month or so, I have been laying down the finished corner, laying out a row or two, sewing those rows together and then to the quilt top, and then strategically folding everything up.

The row that I've been working on is the middle row of the quilt. It's ready to be added to the quilt (after a good press!).

Happy Friday! I have a giveaway for Island Batik scraps going until Monday and we have a pattern sale in our Etsy shop!

Summer Clean-Out Island Batik Giveaway!

Update: the giveaway is now closed and the winners are noted below!

It's been a little while since I had an Island Batik giveaway and now is the perfect time! We'll be getting our next Ambassador goodie boxes in July or early August, and I've already set aside the fabrics I'll be using for those projects so I have plenty of fabrics to share!

I sorted through my Island Batik bins (I keep my Island Batik fabrics separated out from everything else!) and found a whole pile of fabrics to share.

I think this is enough fabrics for more than one giveaway given the size of envelopes that I have! I will stuff these envelopes full of fabric, and send them off to (at least!) two winners. This giveaway will close on Monday, July 2nd.

To enter:

1. For everyone: Tell me your favorite scrap busting project! Is it potholders? Crumb quilts? Paper piecing?

2. For followers: There's lots of ways you can follow, just tell me how you keep up with Little Bunny Quilts. (Facebook, Bloglovin', Instagram, etc.)

NOTE: Bloglovin' readers -- you must comment on the actual blog post to be entered -- comments on the Bloglovin feed do not count as giveaway 

Our winners are:

As a bit of a preview, our July theme is secondary designs, so I'll be working on a two block quilt baby quilt. August is our blog hop month showing off the new fabrics that will be shipping to shops throughout the fall and I'll be working with the Jungle Cruise collection. I'll be using it in our Summer Patio pattern!

Have a happy Wednesday! Don't forget to check out our $3 and $5 pattern sale on Etsy!

Double Delight {Completed Quilt Top}

Since I had not one, but two Saturdays last week because I took Friday off work, I was able to get two quilt tops done! One is an upcoming project for Moda Bake Shop that I've been sharing sneak peaks of on Instagram.

But I also finished my Double Delight quilt top! (Pattern from Bonnie Hunter's free pattern tab!) I spent a long time trying to figure out what color to use as the setting triangles. I thought I had a few options in my stash, but I wasn't thrilled with any of them. One navy was too large a print, one burgundy was too red, one burgundy was too purple!

In perusing the Fat Quarter Shop birthday week sales, I found a great chartreuse and cream print that is actually from the North Woods line by Kate Spain. Even though it's *technically* a Christmas print, it is the perfect color for this quilt!

This photo was taken about 2/3rds of the way through sewing the rows together. Working on quilts that are on point always ends up with a big bulk of quilt to wrangle! Even with straight set quilts of the same size, the on point quilts always seem to be more difficult to wrangle.

I think the green setting triangles really makes the rolling star blocks shine in the quilt! All of the different pinks blend together so well -- I was worried that the brighter pinks that I had to use towards the end of the process of making nine-patches would be too bright! I am not exaggerating when I say that I used ALL of my pink scraps!

Now I'll need to decide if this quilt needs any borders. The quilt as is is approximately 64 by 76 so right now it would make a perfect throw, but with a little bit of border it would be a twin. Decisions, decisions!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Thank you everyone for the kind words about my 30 Pearls quilt and the lovely birthday wishes!
