My 12th and 13th Love Quilt Squares

Lizzie and I met for a Stitch 'n' Bitch yesterday, which allowed to make great progress on my 13th square. I didn't quite finish it before I went to bed last night, but I had a 5:30am wake up call in the form a cold wet dog nose and seeing as I only had 2 small swirls and the name to finish I figured I might as well finish it now!

This is my 12th square for Chloe D's Disney themed quilt - she loves Toy Story! I found this pattern online. It was easy enough to stitch but the logos on the shirts were patterned to be all orange, but a Google image search says that's not accurate so I adapted it. I finished this square a while ago but forgot to blog it!

Look at that!!
This is my 13th square (the one I've just finished) for Megan T's heart themed quilt. I found this design on Etsy (I think) and it was originally charted in white and shades of green. Megan's favourite colours are pink, purple and blue so I adapted it. You could easily adapt it to any colour scheme - I changed the white for a cream and then used a blue, purple and two shades of pink but it would look good in just about anything I'd say! 

Seeing as I did all the stitches in the left half first and then the right, I was amazed that they all lined up correctly when I finished!!


With the cream and the blue...

...then the light pink...

...then the hot pink...

...and finally with the purple and the name!

This is my last quilt square for the moment, but once I've posted these to headquarters I'll keep checking the website to see if there are any other sign ups I can do.

Christmas is approaching, so it will soon be time for me to switch my attention back to my Christmas stocking. Yes, I do mean the felt and sequin one I started 3 years ago...I've moved 3 times since then!! This year will be the year it gets finished!! I've also got a couple of stitches I want to do for gifts - watch this space!!
