This is always such a fun few days looking at every ones blogs and getting a chance to chat with everyone who leaves comments!
I have been so busy planning my wedding that I haven't been sewing at all! Shocking, I know!!!
So, I am going to have to tell you all about a quilt I made earlier in the year.
It now lives on my couch and I snuggle with it every night, even when its not cold!
My Mum was interested in learning how to make quilts, so I got out 2 jelly rolls from my stash and we both made a quilt each.We sat side by side at my kitchen table each Tuesday until they were finished. We used the same pattern and the same fabrics.
You could say we have twin quilts : )
I just love how they turned out.
It would have to be my favourite quilt for sure!
Thanks for looking!!!

Beautiful! I love neptune (actually - so much I haven't cut into mine yet). Great work. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!
Such a beautiful quilt and how special that you made it with your mum!! Its a clever pattern! Less than a month till your wedding!!
It would be my favourite too. Its beautiful and what great memories you created sewing them together.
Your Wedding before sewing??? Girl we gotta work on your priorties - next thing you'll be doing is putting buying food in before buying fabric!!! Lovely quilt - great job!
That's a lovely quilt - hope it's big enough for two snugglers (congrats on your upcoming marriage, by the way!). Love your attitude to keep the blog positive - guess that's what the world needs.
It's beautiful, Kelli! Love that you and your mom have matching quilts.
I LOVE this! What a gorgeous quilt - love that Neptune collection. And how fun to work on it with your mum. Makes it extra special!
I love this quilt more every time I see it! It's a good thing you are very far away or I would have to come steal it :)
Very pretty! :D I like the pattern
I love Neptune, its awesome. I have not seen it in a pattern I did not like. Congrats on your wedding.
Love it. I have that pattern in my stack "waiting" for me to get to it :)
Gorgeous! I love Neptune so much and wish I had more of it to play with!
Congratulations on your engagement!
The quilts are beautiful! I love the different colors. So pretty.
This would be my favorite quilt, too if my mommy had made it with me!
How lovely that you shared this process with your mum - I love the quilt, I love how the white frames the gorgeous fabrics. Congrats on your forthcoming wedding!
Hi Kelli! I've been wondering what you've been up to ;-) Best wishes with the wedding!
I really love this quilt. So much Neptune perfection!!! THIS is why people love Neptune so much!
Great fabrics, I like how the white sashing sets them off. This looks like the same pattern I used to make my guy a jewel tone batik quilt. I love the final quilt, but I hated the piecing. Not hard, just tedious!
just a beautiful quilt! Great job!
What a cool design I love the clean lines.
Dropping in from BQF. I was so excited to see another Aussie chick who calls herself a chick.
This is a beautiful quilt- just gorgeous. How cool you got to do this with your Mum and that you have one each. That makes it ultra special.
Very effective design for a jelly roll, and I love the fabric collection you used. Thanks for showing us.
love, love, love! really like the white, the whole quilt is grand!
Beautiful quilt made with lovely fabrics! How fun that you and your mom have matching quilts! Thanks for sharing!
wonderful collection of rectangles! This quilt is very pretty!
I remember when you first posted about this quilt. I still love it: neptune is beautiful.
I just love this beautiful, cheerful quilt. Love the 4 patch rectangles!! Brilliant!
What fun to quilt with your Mom.!
I love that you and your mom sewed together:) Beautiful quilts!
How fun to make a quilt with your mom! It is very pretty too! Congrats on your wedding.
What great memories you have created with your mom! I love the quilts and your story.
These are so nice, and so sweet that you did it with your mom. Nice to see them again :-)
Thanks for the love on my post....right back at you, you know I am a big fan! But no, I still won't hand over my fabric!
Great quilt! I love the colors you used. I wish my mom would quilt with me!
These are really lovely quilts- what a fun time it would have been for you to make them with your mom. It is a story to treasure in the years to come.
Happy wedding planning- enjoy the blogging festival- there are so many wonderful quilts to view and enjoy.

Oh it's just beautiful! I love the white sashing!! And how fun to do it with your mom. My mom just tells me when she needs a new one and I make it for her. I like your idea better :D Congrats on the wedding!! Blessings on your marriage!
Hi Kelli.
This is a great design for these fabrics. I still have some Neptune to use and this is a great idea!
I love the story about working with your mum. That is so special!

SO much exuberance from a simple block! The colors and prints are all playing with each other. Thank you for sharing this.
Totally cute! I love those fabrics and the colors go together well! Great Job! Congrats on your wedding!
Great quilt! I love the colors and design! Congrats on the upcoming wedding!
This is a lovely quilt made with some of my most favorite fabric. Beautiful!
Love the quilt and Neptune was one of my faves! What I love most of all was the shared sewing experience...
That is such a pretty quilt and I love the memory you will now forever share with your mom.
I love this pattern! What is it?
I LOVE it Kelli!! Just beautiful!
I love this quilt! Which pattern is it? I'd love to do this one for my next project.
Love it! I think I could use charms cut in half for this, couldn't I?? I'm making a smaller version of this as we speak, only with black strips!
what a wonderful story! how fun to do that with your mom. my mom taught me to quilt when i was 10 and my daughter when she was the same age, but we never quilted together and how great you got to do that with her. lovely quilt and materials. have a great day and thanks for sharing
