This is my other new project: 131 9th and Vine. It makes up into a very large quilt, without a lot of effort. No fussy blocks, no small pieces. All the 9 patch blocks can be strip pieced, and I am clipping along rapidly using my Bloc Loc strip ruler. This will be such a […]
I started a couple of new projects over the weekend. This is a block from a Minick and Simpson pattern called Liberty Road. In the pattern version, they made the quilt from their Charlevoix fabric collection, but I missed out on that one. I am using Ann's Arbor for my version, which is a very […]
I am so happy with this little quilt. I do have the top together, but I ran out of time yesterday. I still need to attach the corner squares and trim the quilt edges to be square. I will share a full size picture when I get that accomplished. I won't lie, sewing these lattices […]
Hope this photo doesn't make anybody dizzy. I have all the blocks made for the Jo Morton S'mores quilt–I believe there are 113 square in a square blocks and 28 pieced setting triangles, and 4 pieced corner triangles. I think I am going to love this quilt when I get it put together, but the […]
All the blocks for the Double Nine Patch quilt are finished. In fact there are enough blocks leftover to make another half a quilt because I took out all the dark brown fabrics. This involved a lot of ripping, but I decided I just didn't like the look of the dark brown nine patches. Now […]
I have finished the 169 pinwheel and hourglass blocks for the Windmills quilt. 85 pinwheels and 84 hourglass blocks. And a mess of flying geese for the border, but I didn't count them. The original pattern that inspired me is called Windmills and is designed by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline Quilts. I kept the block size […]
Well, this has been a process, I tell you. I cannot recall when I have struggled and had to dig so deep to come up with an alternate setting arrangement for a quilt! To refresh your memory, this is what the pattern looks like: Super scrappy. Great for a collection of random scraps, but I […]
I am back from my little Spring Break with family, and got back into the sewing room for a couple of hours over the weekend. I had started a new project, "Windmills", before I left, but was not happy with the jumble of prints and patterns. This is what the quilt is supposed to look […]
Some progress has been made on my spring table runner. Aren't those blocks adorable? I thought I'd talk about the pattern and the block construction in case some of you might want to make this pretty runner for yourselves. The pattern, Tootsie Pops by Fig Tree, was designed to use those little 2 1/2" precut […]
I spent the end of last week and most of the weekend making tiny little 9 patch blocks. The 9 patches measure 3 1/2", and are used to construct a larger 9 inch block that contains either 4 or five of them. When the larger blocks are combined, they will form a simple Irish Chain […]
