Missouri Star Quilt Company Quilts

I love the Missouri Star Quilt Company Youtube tutorials, Block magazine, and website.  I have a long list of quilts that I want to make based on their patterns.  I think I next year I will set a goal of making one quilt each month from their tutorials and magazine. 

At the moment I have made their Broken Bars quilt, Jelly Roll Race, Jelly Roll Race 2, and 2 Firenze quilt tops.  I just complete my second Firenze top.  I modified their pattern as I didn't use cuddle fabrics but used 2 yards of quilting fabric.  I cut along the lenght of the fabric to get long continous strips.  I love them both but really love the red, black and gray on the most.  I think I will do another one but this time make both prints fabrics large prints.

Broken Bars quilt top

I completed the quilt top a couple of weeks ago and love the pattern! I'm not too keen on the colors anymore, so I'm giving it away.  I'm plan on making another for me just a bit larger.  This one came out at 64.5x88.5 but I expect some strinkage with the quilting.  I have enough fabric left for an extra block on each row but save it for the backing.

After a week or so, I decided to add a border.  It measures at 75x98 and I love it!

Multiple finishes

It's been a couple of productive weeks!  I finished a quilt for me in the Feed Company by Sweetwater.  I also finished another quilt that started out as the Interwoven Quilt but didn't finish as that.  I also completed a minky backed Frozen panel blanket for a friend's little girl. 

I also started my next project- the broken bars quilt with 26 fat quarters.  I've completed 14/28 blocks.  I'm really happy with the quilt so far.  I may have to make another one!

The Luminscence Quilt

My bestie loves purple and when I saw this fabric I knew she would love a quilt in it.  I tried the Jelly Roll Race II quilt and she loves it.

Line dried quilt

A coworker that I'm on good terms with is retiring soon.  She's always been really nice and helpful to me since I've started here.  She has admired my quilts since I've started quilting in February.  So I made her a quilt as a retirement gift.  It's the jelly roll race quilt in the Connecting Threads Line Dried fabric.  She loved the fabric and loved the quilt!
