See You In September Blog Hop - Day 9

Welcome to Day 9 of See you In September blog hop. First I wanted to thank the master mind behind these wonderful blog hops, Madm Samm and our amazing cheerleader Shari for all the encouragement throughout the Summer :).

Boy! The Summer just flew away. I had only done one major quilt in the summer but managed to cook up 3 projects to show you today.

First up is "Rainbow Skirt" using RBD small gingham. My daughter loves rainbow and she choose these color order. I used 2.5" strips to make this skirt and all together 3 Jelly Rolls.


Here is the skirt I made:

I have been wanting to sew with knit fabrics for quite some time. I wouldn't say I have mastered it yet. But its at a good point. You can really see the details but I added 2 front pockets and one back pockets too. This is a first for me. Never sewn a pant before.

Knit Toddler Pants
Knit Toddler Pants - Front pockets(I hope you can see it ;) )

Knit Toddler Pants - Back pockets(I hope you can see it ;) )
I am planning to sew a pant with cotton fabric soon. I think I got the hang of it ;).

Last but not least is the cute baby blanket I made for a Customer at my Etsy shop. This is one of my favorite collection from Riley Blake Designs - Hoo's in the Forest . I have been hoarding this fabric for quite sometime now.


My other summer/fall projects which were already published for Riley Blake Designs Cutting corners college:
Splendor Garden quilt Tutorial
Evergreen Quilted Pillow Sham Tutorial
 Thank you for stopping by and checking out my projects.
Here is the rest of the schedule for today. Go say hi to the other hoppers today :) .
Happy Quilting!

    That skirt is adorable!!! I've never really made pants, I definitely wouldn't have started with a knit fabric. I too love knits and would love a few knit pieces in my wardrobe, I hope I'm as successful as you!! Your quilts are beautiful, I love the minky color. Thank you for sharing!!

    Hi Malini! That skirt is so darned cute! I have not been very successful with gathered tiered skirts. I thought I was so talented and didn't use a pattern. The skirt wasn't full enough and didn't fit my little friend. Yours looks so nice and full! One the baby quilt, how do you like working with that minky? I heard it was a little tricky. That quilt was soo sweet!

I wanted to thank both Mdm Sam and Amy for this wonderful blog hop. Now peak at my project, a ruffled pillow with zipper. I have been wanting to make ruffles for a while and had one particular pillow in mind, V & Co's white ruffle pillow . I made mine with white Kona Cotton. The strips for the ruffles are 1.5inches. The finished pillow cover is 12"x18". Kona Honey Buns - 1.5inch strips My Little Quilty Model Oh..Ruffles...Ruffles... This time around I even got to add a zipper. Yay for me! I saw this video on zipper and it just made it so much more simpler to add a zipper to any project.   Invisible Zipper Ruffles posing for camera Oh My, these ruffles are addictive Do you see the snow outside the window?
