144 Patch Quilt Completed

Posted on

I’m so happy to have my 144 patch quilt completed. I first wrote about creating it quite some time ago in this blog entry. Now it’s finally completed and ready to gift or donate. I found a lovely light and medium green plaid flannel to back it with – even better it was just big…

Marc came home not long ago and told me that a friend of ours is in the family way once again. It’s a little too early to know if it’s a boy or a girl so I’m making sure I’m prepared. I’m undecided whether to keep this new quilt in the same theme as the…

Scrappy around the block quilt

Around the Block – Finished

Posted on

I made it! My Around the Block quilt was bound before the end of September. I’m so happy with how it came out. I found a another dotty black fabric for the backing: I’m so pleased with how this came out I’m keeping it. It’s the perfect size to cover my feet and legs when…

Around the Block

Posted on

A few weeks ago I decided, on a whim. to sew together some 2.5″ squares, with the only criteria being “brighter is better”.  I didn’t have a plan but that didn’t stop me. The 2.5″ squares soon became two-patches and then four-patch blocks were created. I just love sewing four-patches together. It’s easy, calming and…

Gathered Star Quilt – Construction notes

Posted on

I’m in the process of making the Gathered Star Quilt. I’m really happy how it is turning out. This quilt is based on a block by Judith Martin called Star Cluster Quilt Block Mine looks like that block, however the block size and construction are different. The star block is 32″, and I constructed this using…

What does one do with an excess of 2″ black and various colour pieces of fabric? If you are me, you end up making a 144 patch 18″ quilt block with no plan in mind for said block. I showed a picture to my friend Bonnie and she suggested I use some green with the…

Twin Quilts

Posted on

These are two quilts for girl at work who just had two twin boys. I was wanting the quilts to be similar but not exactly the same. I’m happy with how the one fabric unites the two quilts.

Friendship Star Quilt Top

This quilt flimsy has finally been finished. It’s taken awhile but it’s been totally worth it. I started off making a totally different quilt pattern but quickly realised that I had sewn my half square triangles together with the wrong fabrics paired up.  I had no more grey fabric so I couldn’t cut any more…

Star Quilt

When I was in the States a few months back I visited this wonderful quilt store called Pink Castle Fabrics in Ann Arbour Michigan. It was so fun seeing fabrics that I don’t see at my local quilt store.  I fell in love with some Alison Glass Sun Print Mercury Fabric and couldn’t resist buying…

Four Patch Fun

Posted on

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…
