Triangle Pop baby quilt- The Aura fabrics one

Today is my turn on the Mister Domestic Aura Blog party! Mathew’s new line with Art Gallery fabrics is a good one! It’s full of pretty colors and fun little motifs inspired from a trip he took to Hawaii. Can you spot the sea turtles??!

I made my Triangle Pop quilt pattern using these beautiful fabrics. I chose some of my favorites from the Aura fabric line and made the cutest triangle baby quilt.

Triangle Pop was a good choice for this project because it sews up fast and with the new babes time is a little limited these days. I also chose it because it features the fabrics so nicely and I wanted each fabric to stand out.

This Triangle Pop Aura quilt was quilted up using my favorite curvy stitch. It’s backed with a simple creamy solid and finished off with a bright blue binding.

Triangle Pop is a pretty quick and easy triangle quilt pattern. It uses a 60 degree triangle and traditional piecing. It’s a good entry to sewing with triangles. I recommend a triangle ruler like this one but a template is provided with the PDF pattern.

This blue print from the Aura fabric line makes for the prettiest binding. The print is actually dolphins if you look closely :)

I’m not sure I can photograph quilts anymore without using the babes as a quilt model ;) Here she is making her appearance ;) I should have made this a throws size instead of a baby size because the teenager is wishing it was hers. She’s a fan of the Aura fabrics.

Find the Aura fabrics here.

You can purchase the Triangle Pop quilt pattern in the shop.

Observer Log Cabin Quilt

Today I’m sharing my very favorite quilt with you all.  Ha.  It’s my favorite because it’s my most recent quilt I’ve completed ;)   I have a list of quilts I want to make and a log cabin has been on that list for a while.   This is my first log cabin quilt!   But it certainly won’t be the last.   There are so many neat variations of log cabins and it’s a block I don’t think you could ever tire of.

quiltylove_emilydennis-4005 This Art Gallery Observer fabric line by April Rhodes seemed like the perfect fit for a log cabin quilt since it has two color ways.  Blues and golds.  I started this quilt mixing all of the blues on one side of the log cabin and all of the golds on the other.

quiltylove_logcabin It felt a bit too scrappy (and I almost scrapped this entire quilt) so instead I kept the darker blues in one block and the lighter blues in another block and then alternated them in the final layout for a bit more order.  I used the same dark yellow fabric for each center block.  I used a full fat quarter bundle but left out the two yellows on the right.  It did take a little bit of creative piecing for the last few blocks to keep my blocks separated as darks and lights.
quiltylove_emilydennis-3987 quiltylove_emilydennis-4003 I started making this log cabin quilt on a Monday and realized it would make for the perfect birthday gift for a party on Friday so I had to get it done quickly!   So I kept the quilting simple.   Although, I do that a lot even when not on a time crunch :)

I quilted straight lines on each diagonal using my walking foot and then also quilted each block in the ditch vertical and horizontal.   In the ditch quilting means quilting right in the center of the seams.  The quilting line blends into the quilt on the front but you can see this better on the shot of the backing. quiltylove_emilydennis-3992 quiltylove_emilydennis-4013 quiltylove_emilydennis-3993 quiltylove_emilydennis-3995 I used a khaki colored solid I had on hand for the binding.   I like the subtle color of it since this is already such a busy looking quilt.
quiltylove_emilydennis-3998 This Observer Log Cabin quilt is backed in the softest warmest flannel!   Since I was on a time crunch I didn’t have time to order a backing.   I’m so thankful for my local quilt shop and the fact that they carry these beautiful Maywood flannels.  Since we have the longest coldest winters, I thought the recipient might love this flannel addition to this quilt.   And now i need to make myself a flannel backed quilt pronto because my gosh, is it warm and cozy!

quiltylove_emilydennis-3999 quiltylove_emilydennis-4008 quiltylove_emilydennis-4015 quiltylove_emilydennis-4017 quiltylove_emilydennis-4018 I finished this log cabin quilt on Friday morning, grabbed some quick photos and gifted it to my sister in law later that day.  :) quiltylove_emilydennis-3972 quiltylove_emilydennis-3976 If you want to make your own log cabin quilt, Suzy Quilts has a simple log cabin tutorial for you.   I made a total of 42 10inch blocks.
