Last week, I finished a new quilt! This one I managed to make it king sized! Our bedroom needed some more color, so I thought this would be the best time to gather my scraps of fabric and make a patchwork quilt for our bed. This took me about 2 months to make, and I think it turned out beautiful!
The main colors I used was blue, purple and gray, and added some yellow and green colors. Most of the fabric came from scraps of fabric I already had. However, in order to make the quilt big enough, I bought some more fabrics from this cute local craft thrift store “The Craft Box” located in Wheat Ridge, CO, and the batting and fabric for the back and binding came from JOANN’s. I wanted to make this quilt as eco-friendly as possible.

Lilly dog wanted to help as well! I love how all the colors collaborate with each other. I just wish I had a big quilting machine to complete the fancy top stitching on a quilt this big. I did try to do the free motion quilting, but my machine is too small for this size of a quilt, and I did not have much space. This quilt still looks great though, and I’ll just have to stick with the free motion quilting for the smaller projects!

Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!
