Layer Cake Lemonade Quilt - and a Leftover!!!...

Kassidy and I sewed up the adorable new free quilt pattern... 

Layer Cake Lemonade

 by It's Sew Emma

during our "sew night with Kass" 

a few nights ago.

We used Riley Blake 10" stackers for our 

Layer Cake Lemonade quilt.

(Sidewalks - by October Afternoon)

Riley Blake 10" stackers 

are the same as a layer cake ...

meaning they are both precut 10" squares.

Each of the Sidewalks stackers

 have 21 squares so we used 2 stackers.

It took Kass and I only 2 hours to complete the top!

YaY!!!

Kimberly has a great video tutorial 

for the Layer Cake Lemonade Quilt

 on the

 Fat Quarter Shop Youtube channel as

 part of their Shortcut Quilt Series.

to go see it for yourself:)

Yesterday my friend Kathy 

quilted a pretty overall rose pattern on the quilt.

(thanks Kathy:)

And I bound it last night:)

Kass and I made the quilt for Sophie.

As you know ...

she is my cutie pie granddaughter:)

  I love to make matching things

 for her and her dolls.

And of course…

this project was no exception!

So from the leftovers

 after piecing the 

Layer Cake Lemonade quilt ...

We easily cut 30 - 4 1/2" squares.

This is all we had left from the forty 

 10" squares that we started out with!

Use it up

Wear it out

Make it do…

Or do without!

The 30 squares became a 

quick and easy doll quilt:)

Fun!

Besides... who doesn't like leftovers

 from layer cake?

You shouldn't let 

one sweet crumb go to waste:)

Mr.Vintage Sock Monkey 

 had a quilty wrap up in the cradle:)

I'm sure that Sophie Belle will adore 

her new

Layer Cake Lemonade quilt ...

as well as the one for Dolly:)

Have a quilty kind of day!

Gracie's Guitars!!!...

All of my Gracie Girl quilts are back from quilt market...

and now I can show you another quilt

that I made for Kassidy's room. 

It's a nice twin size or ...

 a perfect snuggle quilt size:)

I've had this quilt drawn up for quite awhile…

and have just been waiting for Gracie Girl

to make it with:)

It was so fun to make ...

not to mention fast!

I wish I had a real guitar 

like each and every one in the quilt!

I used a Riley Blake solid for each guitar neck...

and then matched them up

 with a print from Gracie Girl:)

I used my quick and easy machine appliqué method for the entire guitar…

making it a quick process.

I did a scrappy binding with the 

leftover fabric from the guitar bodies…

easy peasy!!!

There are 15 guitars total…and I used 15 Gracie Girl  fat quarters:)

Gracie's Guitars

66" x 84"

Pattern is now available in 

my little etsy shop…

Busy Bee Inc.

What do you think?

Doe's your very own Gracie Girl need one too?

Have a quilty kind of day!!!
