The Quilted Scrapper

 Scrolling through Instagram is a great way to find new inspirations for quilting. I have found lots of new to me designers, quilt patterns and skills over the years. However, the day I saw Cotton and Joy's   Night Court  pattern based on the fantasy series by Sara J. Maas, I knew I had found the perfect quilt for one of my teacher besties. The 5th grade teacher. next door to me LOVES Sara J. Maas books, specifically A Court of Rose and Thorn  series. I knew this wall hanging was going to be the perfect 25th Birthday gift. Needless to say, she loved it!

 First, I cannot believe it has 2 1/2 years since I posted on my blog! Life got busy with work, family and working on my Teaching National Boards. Now that I am achieved my Teaching National Boards, I am back to quilting!  This year, 2025, my goal is to use the fabric I already have to make all my quilts. My 18 year old son helped me organized my fabric over Christmas break and I have at least 9 full quilt projects ready to go without much thought! Those projects are good in theory, but a few weeks ago I really wanted a Valentine's quilt to decorate my living room. So, I dove into my closet and found a jelly roll, background and backing. Here are the results: I used the Infinite Hearts pattern from Quilty Love and a Jelly Roll from Hoffman Fabrics called Bali Pop. The background is a cream from the Moda Grunge line that I used a few years ago to finish my sons quilt. My quilter did an amazing job with the hearts.
