The log cabin QOV is not going to get finished today. It has three plain borders. Why did I think there was only one? The 25 patches are all done and are attached so maybe tomorrow I’ll get all the plain borders on!
Chad and Nicole got a new sofa this weekend and I asked Nicole if she wanted a quilt to use on the sofa. The sofa is a very pretty tan – solid tan. I had this design in my “waiting” files. Nicole isn’t as much into bright colors as I am and she said she would like something with a little “coral” in it. I have some Minkee type fabric so I thought I’d use that for the backing and then I figured since the baby’s owl quilt will have Minkee on the back, that would leave only Chad without a Minkee backed quilt so I found this easy quilt in my files.
Chad would love something with purple and gold (LSU colors). So, that’s two quilts I would like to get made today or tomorrow (or within the next month or so). Nicole called and asked if I could make a queen size quilt. They have Chad’s old double bed but she’s bringing her queen bed over from her mom’s because Chad’s bed really is worn out and she said her back is hurting from sleeping on it . . so they need a queen quilt.
I said “Nicole! You know I don’t do a good job with neutrals!”
This one is 93” x 105” which should work for a queen bed. A queen mattress is 60” x 80” so that would leave about a 13-14” drop on the sides, by the time the quilt has been washed, and about 20” on the bottom. It won’t be long enough for a pillow tuck but it will be long enough for a little fold down at the top.
Here’s a version with a bit brighter colors. I think I like this one better. I’ll get Nicole to look and see what she thinks.
I see there are a couple of spots where I have pieces colored incorrectly. Hopefully I’ll catch all those before I start sewing!

I love the pattern for the sofa quilt. Is this a pattern that will go on your blog? I would love to make one for myself!
Brita says
Isn’t it fun when you have a purpose and goal in mind when planning a quilt! And isn’t it exciting to watch this new little family in their beginnings!
Melinda in Marietta, GA says
What fun – three new quilts to make that you know will be used and loved. Get busy sewing 🙂
Vicki W says
I really like that last quilt a lot!

Wow! I love all of them. How do you decide which one to start first? How do you find the time to make them all with all the garden work and canning going on in your life to. I enjoy following your progress.
Karin says
I LOVE the first pattern ”couch” quilt! Love love! I am betting that Nicole will prefer the first queen size quilt pattern over the brighter one, but I love them both! Great quilts all around!
Jevne says
“So that’s two quilts I would like to get made today or tomorrow….” That just blows my mind, Judy, I wouldn’t be able to get the pieces cut for one in a day!
Linda in NE says
You’ve been busy….a real “Designing Woman.” I’d be happy with any or all of them.
Pam says
Planning quilts in EQ7 makes the process a lot easier. Any quilts that you make for them will be fabulous.
Nicole is lucky to have you.
Looking forward to your progression.

Very pretty Judy – love how you say you have an ‘easy’ quilt in your waiting files – it doesn’t look that easy!! lovely colours
Robin says
Love them all! I think we all would love the patterns ( as if I need any more patterns LOL!!)
Joan says
I love the first quilt in the post – the coral flowers one! Please consider sharing the pattern! It’s wonderful!
melissa says
Love, love, love the queen size quilt! It’s beautiful….maybe it should be a quilt in another one of your books so we can all make one????
Diane Henwood says
I too like all of them. Are you just making one quilt for the baby?
And I love the part about getting them done today or tomorrow. I don’t know how you get all you do done in a day. I am always amazed. I struggle just to get a few things done in a day. You are a wonder woman!!!
Sherry Moran says
I really like that first one. Hope you will share the pattern. You’re amazing!
Mel Meister says
New Camp Loopy requirements for July. 800 yards! How can I knit 800 yards in one month? Any ideas for projects???
Marie Mann says
Love, LOVE, LOVE+++ the ‘couch quilt’ You are going to be too busy to scratch yourself Judy, just don’t burn yourself out – grandmothering is just round the corner.
Love, Marie
Susan says
Great designs as always……….
The first one looks like Dogwood Blossoms…….
My DIL wants a quilt for their bedroom and her color choice is Sage…..
Would you be able to do those quilts as a quilt a long or would you be willing to sell the pattern?
Erin says
Wow what do you take for vitamins! How do you get it all done and all of it is stunning! Do u ever sleep!i love all of them!
Linda Steller says
I like them all, but especially the last one! Pinwheel ought to be my middle name. I just love them.
Kristin says
Oh, Judy!!! I love the patterns you created with the neutral colors! Those are absolutely wonderful!! Now I want to make one, too! But I don’t have any time and have way too many other things going on. =/
Diane says
I like all three, but the last quilt is beautiful! I love the colors and the design and wish it was a king size!! 🙂
That little inner border is perfect.
Amy @ Heritage Homemaker says
