As I mentioned in my previous post, I am working on a number of units for the star blocks in my Raise the Roof Again project. I am not following the pattern instructions 100%. For the flying geese units, I am using Monique DIllard's Fit to be Geese ruler, which I have raved about numerous […]
Awhile back I was inspired by a Fatquarter Shop YouTube video on how to make the Single Wedding Ring block. I made three blocks with some Japanese fabric I had on hand in my stash, then put the blocks away in a project box. I had a free Saturday recently and made six more blocks […]
On Memorial Day I was on my own, and decided to make the most of the free day up in my sewing room. My daughter Sara has been making some comments on how she needs a table topper in patriotic colors, and I thought what better day to start such an endeavor, but Memorial Day? […]
Honestly, it's been so long since I worked on these blocks I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the quilt pattern when I went to type in the title of this blog post. Not Gone With the Wind, but Into the Wind. Or is it Against the Wind? Think lots of […]
Over the weekend I finished up a few more of my Into the Wind blocks. I love the kind of water color effect the colors have. Rather dreamy, with a touch of that red every now and then. I have two more full blocks to make, and then scads of partial blocks. the whole thing […]
Six blocks completed for Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern I am making with Larkspur by 3 Sisters. Thirteen more of these full blocks to make, and then about as many partial blocks, plus some in-between blocks. This is a quilt with a lot of piecing. I wasn't sure how I would like these […]
This is the Log Cabin quilt layout that Sara has chosen for her quilt. #6, Four Squares. The first person to correctly guess what Sara's choice was is Cathy Burk. Cathy, send me your address and I will mail out your giveaway prize. I decided to giveaway a second prize to the next person to […]
So, today I will post photos of the nine quilt layouts I experimented with for Sara's Log Cabin quilt. I would love it if you all would vote on your best guess as to which layout Sara should choose for her quilt. On Friday, I will post the name of the person who first chimed in […]
Snail's Trail #7. I thought I was going to like this layout the best, but I am not sure. I had high hopes for it being graphic and contemporary. Radiating Star #8. I must have some blocks turned the wrong way. This layout looks like a big mess to me. I get nothin'. Framed […]
Here is Log Cabin Layout #6. I think it is pretty cool. But then, I tend to like any layout where I don't have a block turned the wrong way. And I swear I cannot tell by just looking at the blocks. I have to take a photo and study that to find the wrong […]
