At Quilt Fest, I took a class on making Cathedral Window quilt by machine. Blogged about here, here, and here.
This denim rag quilt was made from old denim cut into 5" squares and matched to red and blue flannel. It has 221 squares and measures 59" x 77". I blogged about it here, here, and here.

This is a free paper piecing pattern that can be found here. I modified the pattern for the border to really make the secondary pattern of the stars pop and really happy with how it turned out. I quilted this myself on my Bernina using a walking foot.

I've chatted with Esther through linky parties. One day, she showed off this amazing pattern she created. I loved it. I commented I would love to be a tester when she was ready, and she remembered me. I've blogged about this project here, here, here, and here
This paper piecing pattern is super easy to follow and gives lots of options. You can find the pattern here.

- "MODERN LONESTAR" MINI QUILT
 |
| Babco Unlimited - Modern Lonestar Mini Quilt Completed Project |
Despite my difficulties quilting and my battle skirmish with the binding, I've finally completed this "easy", one block mini quilt. I'm donating this mini quilt to the mini quilt fundraiser at the Utah Quilt Fest.
The pattern can be found on www.craftsy.com here.
- "MY LITTLE PINK DRESS" MINI QUILT

| Babco Unlimited - My Little Pink Dress Quilt Completed Project |
This started as a possible donated mini quilt for the Utah State Quilt Fest, but has morphed into a mini quilt I am going to enter into the Quilt Show in the mini quilt category.
This pattern is actually an Iris Folding Paper pattern I just adapted to use with fabric. The pattern can be found here. She has many other fun patterns for free.
This quilt is many firsts for me: First time I did foundation piecing, did appliqué, did reverse appliqué, did beading, quilted myself, and did a decorative border.
- FLOWER BLOCKS
These blocks were done for a Utah Quilt Guild fundraiser called "Save the Boo-Bees."

- BASEBALL COACH THANK YOU GIFT
 |
| Babco Unlimited - Baseball Coach Thank You Gift Completed Project |
Found something similar on Pinterest.com. I tried to trace it back to the original poster, but was unable to. The original post had the baseball made into a cross.
I made two: one for coach and one for assistant coach.
I took a brand new baseball and cut around the outside of the stitches using an exacto knife. I then soaked it in hot water to work out the stiffness and be able to press flat. I took the "ball" to a game so all the team could sign it with their names and numbers. (The original one had everyone's names all nice and tidy. I wanted the boys' signatures.) I tacked down the ball using wire brads onto a plaque I stained. I purchased authentic team patches (the most expensive part of the project) and glued it on with gorilla glue.
Cost:
Plaque: $1.91 each (Hobby Lobby--used coupon)
Stain: $6.71
Wire Brads: $2.02
Baseballs: $2.91 each
Team Badge: $12.95
Total Cost: $22.14 each

I want to make a bed sized quilt for each child. This one is for S.

I found the pattern in Jelly Roll Inspirations.
- QUILT FOR ME
"It's Mine!"

After working on quilts for the kids, I decided I needed to have one myself.
I put cuddly minky on the back. Love it.

- QUILT FOR R -- Previously named "Super Secret Hush-Hush Project"
"Hidden Stars"

 |
| Babco Unlimited - Hidden Stars Completed Project |
This was a surprise Christmas present for R. He had NO IDEA! I worked on this while he was at work. It's called "Hidden Stars." I didn't want to have it under the tree because I was afraid he'd guess what it was, so I wrapped the Quilt Label along with a hint on how to find it. He then had to play "Hot-n-Cold" to find it. The back has navy blue minky, so it's super soft. I made it with fabric I already have that was left over from the quilts I made for C and S.
The pattern can be found in the book Jelly Roll Quilts and is called "Log Cabin Hidden Stars."
