Serge & Sew Colour of the Month - Fox in a Box

"Fox in a Box"

Pattern by Jeni Baker

Book:  Fun-Size Quilts, compiled by Karen M. Burns

Size:  18.25" x 18.25"

February's Colour of the Month Challenge Fabric at Serge & Sew is this gray with the white circles.  The background is Kona Cotton (in white?) and the other fabrics were all pulled from my scrap bins.  The eyes are Élan 14mm buttons.  I know this project is a bit bigger than the challenge guidelines ("no bigger than an average placemat") but I couldn't seem to stop making the foxes to make it that little bit smaller...I just love them!

On the back is a leftover piece of white from something else - I'm not sure what it is, except I'm pretty sure it's not Kona Cotton like I used on the front & for the binding.

One more look at the foxes and the stipple quilting in between them.

Happy Quilting!

White Stars for Fall

White Stars for Fall

Pattern:  White Stars by Julie Herman (Jaybird Quilts)

Book:  Fun-Size Quilts

Size:  12.75" x 16.5"

I started this quilt with white Kona cotton and the Timeless Treasures Fabrics, Inc Patt# HARVEST-CM6445.  I used it in three stars (top centre, third row left & bottom right) and for the binding.  All the other fabrics were from my scrap bins.

Each block finishes at 4" x 4".

I used a white on white print from my stash for the backing.

Straight line quilting in white thread horizontally, vertically, and diagonally made an asterisk in each white star.

One more view.

Happy Quilting!
