Book Quilts: Tiny Bits & Aura

It's here! It's finally here! So what do you do when your first book is released? In my case, I pack up and head over to Shipshewana for a little time at the MAAFRA Regional Fabric Show. My bags are packed and I think I remembered everything. I'll find out once I get there! But last but not least, I have to show you the last two quilts from the book!

Tiny Bits is really the only quilt in the book that was designed for a baby quilt. Granted, it can be used as a small wall hanging too, but it worked so well with Ten Little Things by Jenn Ski, I just remade this quilt this past weekend out of her new line Oink A Doodle Moo. Not only is it fun to say, but it's super cute too!

And then there's Aura. What a gem. I have to say, I think this is my favorite quilt from the book (if I have to choose one) and I just remade this quilt too! I can't wait to show it to you. I made it out of Honey Honey by Kate Spain and it looks so different. I'll be working on the binding on my way to Indiana and I'll be posting from Shipshewana with pictures of the reworked quilts. 

Both of the above quilts used charm packs and minimal yardage. How simple is that?! Who doesn't have a charm pack sitting around? I know I do! They're so simple to pick up at the quilt shops and I swear they just jump in your arms and beg to come home with you! 

Now remember, the book is officially released today and should show up in your LQS shortly. (Yippee!!!) I can't believe it's finally the day I've been waiting for. I hope you all enjoy the book and please let me know what you think! I would love to see pictures of any quilts that you've made from patterns in the book. It'll make my day!

Oh, and be sure to hop on over to the Stitch This! blog by Martingale today. They were kind enough to let me guest post over there about Seamingly Scrappy. I'll keep you posted from Indiana!
