Cinema at 7

Posted on

I’m calling this my Cinema at 7 quilt as it’s 7 x 7 blocks. It is based on the Film at Five quilt from the Wedding Dress Blue blog. I of course made some changes to the original pattern from the Wedding Dress Blue blog. I changed the size of the small squares from 2.5″…

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs — Bug Jar Quilt

This quilt was so fun to make! I really enjoyed hunting down the different fabrics and learnt a lot making it. Another view of the same quilt. Posing with it is Mao, the cat I had at the time I made it. He was a very special cat even though he’s sitting by the quilt…

I needed a project, to do today, that was quick and easy, and that wouldn’t stress me out. I didn’t want a high concentration project but rather one I could enjoy, see quick progress being made, and feel a good sense of accomplishment.

Four Patch Fun

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

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…
