Sunset Ridge Lap Size Quilt

I used part of a jelly roll to make this quilt and scraps of white and off white for the background fabrics. It measures 46" wide x 60" high. I used polyester batting for warmth and a flannel backing for added softness. My son is coming for a visit and I wanted to make a quilt that would keep him warm on the cold nights we have been having. The jelly roll was from Amazon. The other fabrics I already had. This will be a nice extra quilt to have on hand when needed. Sunset Ridge is a free quilt pattern from Moda Fabrics. I made mine larger than the pattern. It was a quick quilt to make and easy too. I alternated the jelly roll fabrics I had. I could have used one color family per row, but decided to mix them up.

I quilted this quilt with a serpentine stitch.

Diamond Jewels Quilt

I finished this lap quilt last month. I used the X-Block ruler to create this quilt. I chose batik fabrics in aqua, turquoise, and orange and white and cream fabrics in regular cotton fabric. I didn't add a border, just sewed on the binding. The X-Block ruler allows you to sew blocks and then cut them with the ruler to create a more complex looking block. The cut off pieces are supposed to be saved and used for the border. I didn't really want a border so I didn't use those cut off pieces. I backed the quilt with a soft flannel fabric. I gave this quilt to my husband and he loves it.

I want to try making some other quilts using the X-Block ruler because it is fun and there are some great looking quilts that you can get from using this ruler.

I quilted the colorful batik sections only. With all those seams it felt a bit like I was jack-hammering!!! So I only quilted along the edge of the white fabrics.

Soft flannel for the backing.
