Four Patch Fun

Posted on February 16, 2015June 11, 2020

I’m accustomed to doing quilts with at least one colourway being a constant fabric. For this project I decided to push myself and make both colourways scrappy. I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out. The pattern is a simple double four patch. This way I can say I’m joining in with the APQ Four…

Vroom Vroom Quilt

Posted on February 5, 2015June 11, 2020

I had so much fun making the strippie quilt with Monsters, that I had to make another one: Quick, simple and effective. How can you get any better? I have enough of the main fabric for backing and enough of the green for binding. Now to figure out how to quilt it. Sadly my free…

Strippie Quilt – Monsters

Posted on January 27, 2015June 11, 2020

I needed a quick and easy project to do both to satisfy my creative side and to actually get some fabric used up. I wanted a simple quilt that worked with one of the many novelty fabrics that I’ve found over the years and something that didn’t take a lot of concentration or time. This is…

My ongoing Hexagon Project.

Posted on January 25, 2015June 11, 2020

Some progress on my ongoing English Paper Piecing hexagon project that tentatively has the name Flowers in a Concrete Jungle. The hexagons are going to be surrounded by a concrete grey coloured border hence the name. I’m thinking it might be smaller blanket for use in the car as I’m not sure I’m patient enough…

Mystery Quilt progress

Posted on January 18, 2015June 11, 2020

Making some progress on the Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt. I’ve got the top together finally (minus the borders). I am not pleased with some of my fabric choices (especially as it relates to value) but I’m happy with my fabric colours. I think this is one cheery quilt. I’m linked up here. Check if out.

Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt – Making some Progress

Making some progress on this quilt. Have a few blocks sewn together. Still not thrilled with one of my fabric choices for the purple fabric. I’m participating in the link up at Freshly Pieced

Red, White and Blue Baby Quilt.

Posted on January 11, 2015June 11, 2020

Here is a crib quilt I made a few years ago. One of the purposes of this blog is to record the quilts I have made. Sadly I’m not sure where I got the pattern as this is one I’d love to make again. It was backed with polar fleece and is technically not…

Potholders

Posted on January 7, 2015June 11, 2020

A simple yet practical project. They make a nice gift. I found the instructions on this web tutorial here Of course, I made a few changes. I changed the size to 8 inches. I found the 10 inches recommended to be too big. I used some narrow bias binding to create a hanging loop…

Destined for Project Linus Canada

Posted on January 6, 2015June 11, 2020

I honestly have no idea where I got the pattern for this quilt. I found the flimsy in my stash when looking for something else and can’t remember much more than doing it. I think I enlarged a smaller block to come up with it. The quilt is destined for http://www.projectlinuscanada.org/ and will go to…

Gasp A black and white baby quilt.

Posted on January 2, 2015June 11, 2020

Requested by the mother-to-be, a black and white baby quilt. Seems high contrast items are easy for a baby to see and stimulate them. I’ve heard many times how baby quilts should be soft pastel colours but who is going to argue with a soon-to-be-mom who has specialized education in early childhood development. The pattern…
