Quilts I Made in 2023 Count: 47	Back to Home Page

Casazza Creations is my Etsy shop name.
112. Interlocked This quilt can be yours, it's still for sale in my Etsy shop! :-)
	I bought the floral print fabric on sale at a Kalispell quilt shop. I'm sure the lady was just making conversation as she took my money, but she asked, "What are you going to do with this fabric?" I didn't want to answer, "Put it in the closet next to all the other fabric." So basically, she shamed me into making something out of it right away. I thought it was a pretty quilt, but it just hasn't found the right person yet.







113. Quilts for Cops - Cowboy I found this panel somewhere & sewed it up right quick to help fill the shelves of the Quilts for Cops program, where police donate quilts to a child who needs one.







114. Seeing Stars Donated to a fund raiser for my Mom's dear friend Shelly.

Mom had given me this quilt kit at Christmas, so when her friend was having a silent auction to help with expenses of being hit by a truck, I wanted to donate this one. My Dad and one of Mom's friends got into a bidding war for it, that was sweet.	It had metallic sparkles all over it. Very pretty.


115.Soaring Eagle One of four quilts purchased by our friend Nigel for his home in Scotland.
	I took a lap quilt pattern and made up the borders to make it Queen sized.







116. Spirited Horse (Full Size) This was purchased by one of my Mom's closest friends in Westville, OK. Her grandson is currently trying to take it away from her. :-)
I saw this kit while in Glendive, MT for my niece Rebecca's wedding. Eric talked me into buying it and it turned out SO beautiful that it started me on a journey of making this quilt again and again.







117. You Have My Heart EMQS 2023
	This was a pattern in a quilt magazine for a fall-themed quilt with leaves all over it. I wanted to see what it would look like with hearts instead of leaves. Now I know!




118. & 119. Baby Owl Stripe (Times 2) I made two versions of this same quilt, just slightly different. Both are still in my Etsy shop as of 2026.









120. & 121. Baby Spirited Horse - Times 2 I made two of these out of scraps from that horse quilt above. One sold at EMQS 2023. The other sold via Etsy to a frequent customer from back home in Westville, OK.









94. Summer Breeze Redux Sold at EMQS 2024
	This was the quilt I made last year that was "wounded" while being quilted. I finally just cut the sides off of it and redid the binding, making it a lovely twin sized quilt with no flaw on it.


122. Mountain Cabin Sold via Etsy to a man in Cyress, CA.
	I am super proud of this quilt. It's another design I made specifically for the theme at the Rendezvous Quilt Show. This one was something about "Cabin Life" or similar. I took the bear pattern from the "Wonderful Woodland" pattern from Art East Quilting. The rest of the quilt I made up myself. My local friend Shelly used her Cricut machine to create the center appliqué part. I loved it!


	Soft fleece backing.







123. Native Bison Another purchase by our sweet friend Nigel for his home in Scotland.
I am super proud of this quilt because I designed the pattern myself. I did take the giant feather idea from another quilt pattern, "Be As a Feather" by Gingiber. I also got the inspiration for the arrows from "Made by Marzipan" but I made mine differently. Anyway, it was very popular and I ended up making several like it.
	It won a ribbon in the Rendezvous Days 2023 show.


	I don't remember what possessed me to do the back like this.






124., 125., 126. Spirited Horse (Queen Size) - Times three! One sold at Rendezvous Quilt Show 2023. The second sold to MIL Rose as a gift for Josie in Choteau, OK. The third sold to our good friend Nigel for his home in Scotland.

My Mom got excited with me when I loved the first version of this quilt so much. I decided I wanted to try to make it Queen sized and mentioned it to my Mom, who lives in Oklahoma.	She found a bunch of this fabric at a nearby quilt store and hooked me up! She kept me supplied in the fabric I needed when it couldn't be found in Montana.


Very bad colors in this photo - it was not pink!!



127. We The People (Quilts for Heroes Donation Quilt) Donated to Quilts for Heroes in EMQS 2023.


128. Walkabout (Indian School Donation Quilt) Donated to an Indian School in Montana, June 2023.




129. Sienna Utter Wedding Quilt Gifted to neighbor (and Amy's niece) Sienna for her wedding July 2023.
	Her wedding colors were black and white and she is a strong Christian. There were many Bible verses and sweet sayings on the text blocks.




130. Asymmetrical Butterfly Stripe Baby Quilt Sold via Etsy to a customer in Huntington Beach, CA.
	I love how fleece backing feels, even though it's a hassle to work with when quilting.




131. Baby Getaway Still up for grabs in my Etsy shop.

I was working on a large quilt called, "Getaway" and the designer suggested this baby quilt pattern that could be made from the leftovers from that quilt.



132. Brown Stonehenge Medallion Sold at EMQS 2024.
	I'd had a blue and brown version of this panel for years. I told myself, "Use this or give it away!" So I used them both right quick. I can't be giving away perfectly good fabric!



133. Dancing Butterflies Sold on Etsy to a lady in Arthur City, TX.

Time to use up some scraps! I loved this quilt, it's so sweet.



134. Butterfly Baby This one is still available in my Etsy shop.

I loved this butterfly fabric so I made another baby quilt out of it.	Fleece backing!



135. & 136. Highland Baby - Times two. One was made for baby Camry, given to my friend Keri. They had Highland cows at the time. The other sold at EMQS 2023.

This pattern is from Art East quilting. They design adorable patterns, but they are a little bit difficult to make.



137. Mountain Getaway Sold at EMQS 2024.
	I've done mostly traditional quilts up to this point, but I wanted to step into the world of modern quilting a little bit.
Speaking of things that are difficult to make. This was a challenge to make and to quilt!






138. Pink Cat Baby - with chenille trim Sold in the boutique at EMQS 2023.
	I got some sew-on Chenille and just had to try it out. Thankfully I had this sweet kitty panel in my stash, it turned out very cute.


You can see the chenille trim around the cat blocks here.



139. Fox Baby Quilt Given to niece Rebecca at her baby shower for Bryce.

This was her nursery theme and colors.



140. & 141. Starry Bear - Times two One was given to my niece Katie for her daughter Myla Beth. The other sold at EMQS 2024.




142. Sunburst Sold at EMQS 2023.
	I was really proud of this quilt, it turned out SO striking. It was a "3 Dudes" quilt pattern, but modified by Rob Appell from "Man Sewing". I just barely got it finished in time to put it into EMQS and it sold, so I feel like I didn't even get to look at it.







143. Northcott Bears Sold via Etsy to a lady all the way in Mourilyan, Australia. It took forever to reach her!

As per usual, I took a throw quilt pattern and made it into a Queen size.	The pattern was called Northern Tracks.






144. Blue Stonehenge Medallion Donated to the Flathead Quilt Guild outreach program.







145. Flowers of Eventide Sold at EMQS 2025. I got to meet the daughter of the lady who bought it, they were excited.
I had it hanging upside down in this photo, duh!!!





	When I saw that fabric makers were creating giant panels, I was so excited. I made two of them right away. However, those quilts didn't sell well at all. I've stopped seeing giant panels in stores also.

146. Native Horse #1 Sold via Etsy to a customer in New Philadelphia, OH.

Version 2 of my "Native Bison" pattern I designed earlier. I improved the box around the panel and made the arrow heads more interesting.








147. Pink Batik Stars Sold via Etsy to a friend from high school in Stilwell, OK.

I almost didn't give this quilt a number because I didn't piece the center part. I bought this quilt part-way finished at the Flathead Quilt Guild show. I added the borders though.






148. Vintage Red Roses Still available on my Etsy shop as of 2026.
	Someone gifted our quilt guild with some vintage fabrics this year. I took the red & the print from the pile, I think it is really adorable fabric and it's still in great shape. I paired it with the tan and used a Fabric Cafe pattern. It's a fun quilt.






150. Terrific Tulips Sold at the Rendezvous Quilt Show 2024 to my friend Debbie for her niece.
	My friend Melody has a fabric sale every so often. I bought about 8 yards of this tulip stripe fabric from her. I made a bunch of table runners and still had enough to make this giant quilt.
The very center is a pattern by Lo & Behold but it's all me after that.



151. Superbloom Still available in my Etsy shop.
	This was the second of the two giant panel quilts I made. Maybe if I'd have done custom quilting in the panel it would have sold better.




151. Butterfly Baby with Silver Border Sold at EMQS 2023.





152. Civil War Baby Sold via Etsy to a customer in Reno, NV.

I bought the center of this quilt premade at a quilt shop's going out of business sale. I added the borders and quilted it for a darling baby quilt.



153. & 154. Teddy Bear Town Play Mat One was given to my dear friend Ellie for her upcoming son. The other sold via Etsy to a lady in PA.

I found two of these adorable panels at a sale in town and had such fun turning them into playmats.



155. Chris' Spirited Horse Custom order for a lady in nearby Olney, MT. Also one of the reasons I no longer accept custom orders.





156. Native Horse #2 Sold to Rose for nephew Erik.



I love this!!

157. Spirited Gray Horse Sold via Esty to a customer in Minot, ND - where Rose has some relatives.

This quilt resulted when I misunderstood the custom order quilt above. She said she wanted the same quilt I'd been making, but "make it gray". To me, that meant the background should be gray. To her, it meant the brown borders should be gray. Grrrr.
