Christmas
This year I made one quilt specifically as a Christmas gift and I also gifted four previously made quilts.
Gift 1
I made this quilt for my son’s girlfriend. I used a variety of blue fabrics that I already owned and some white from my local Chennai quilt shop “The Square Inch“. I chose the “By the Sea” quilt pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. It was made for 10″ squares and was quite simple to use.
Gift 3
I made this cassette mini quilt for my husband using a portion of Lysa Flowers “Cassette” pattern. I had originally planned to do the whole thing, but I ran out of time and the pieces were very small.
Gift 2
I made this quilt top last Christmas but it didn’t get quilted until after the holiday. I created a sampler using patterns from the pattern book Block Genius. I titled this quilt, “Raven’s Surprise” because my daughter played with the blocks and when put them back in order I mixed up a few. After sewing it all together I noticed two of the same blocks next to each other. Instead of taking it all out, I just decided to embrace the mistake. Can you see it?
Gifts for my sister
A couple years ago I started making blocks from 100 Modern Quilt Blocks from Tula Pink. I chose to make three different quilts. I started making blocks using batik, some with Tula Pink fabric, and ones using regular quilting fabric. I laid out the blocks differently in all three quilts. For this one, I made a very thin sashing because I didn’t like how it looked without it but I didn’t have much of the sashing fabric and living in India, I was unable to order more.
This quilt pattern: “Pretty Birds”, is from Elizabeth Hartman. I loved making it. Elizabeth Hartman makes such fun patterns. I also like how colorful her examples are. 
In between my other quilt projects I was working on “Year of Scrappy Triangles” by Leila Gardunia. This foundation paper piecing was vey fun. I learned a lot.
