I Love Me Some Purple Quilt Top

Posted on February 7, 2026February 8, 2026

I’m working hard on Lupine & Laughter the latest Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt. However, I needed a break so I started this purple quilt top. Easy to piece, and bonus it’s purple, my favourite colour. There were lots of purple 2.5″ strips leftover from both Lupine & Laughter and Frolic, another Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt….

Making a quilt pattern the second time – almost the same!

Posted on January 9, 2026January 16, 2026

A few years ago I made a quilt and just this past year I made that quilt again but with some modifications. The first time I made this quilt, back in 2023, I used darker squares from my 2.5″ box of squares and a light beige background to make this quilt. The inspiration for the…

A 9 patch Quilt top! Stand back to see the pattern!The further back the better.

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022

I got an idea to make 9 patches with three light squares in a line and darker fabrics for the other squares. As I had lots of light’s in my 2.5″ square box I decided to make all the fabrics scrappy (though I mostly stuck to brights) including the whites. The box of squares was…

Low Volume Neutral Quilt: A Scrappy Irish Chain

Posted on February 13, 2022February 16, 2022

I finished my last low volume neutral scrap quilt about a week ago. It used up most of my light 2.5″ squares. And then, I made the mistake of looking at the 2″ square box just full of neutrals. What to do with these I pondered? I remembered I had some 9 patches with darks…

I really enjoyed making this Spruced Goose quilt top. Most of the blocks were easy half square triangles and nine patches so it went together much quicker than expected.

I’m really happy with how this turned out. And as it’s being gifted it gets a label!

Bearing Down in the Scrap Box

Posted on January 17, 2021January 21, 2021

I swear the scraps are knee deep around here. I keep making scrap quilts but the pile of scraps never seems to go down in my scrap boxes. Not sure quite what I would do if I had no scraps – as scrap quilting is my favourite! But still, everywhere scraps. Back before Christmas I…

Add color to beige and it’s not so bad.

Posted on January 5, 2021January 5, 2021

After I made the Brown Quilt Cinnamon Bars (Thanks to Preeti at Sew Preeti Quilts for the great name) I still had lots of a solid beige material left. As it was near Christmas I wanted something easy to sew with that fabric. I just needed to figure out how to add color so that I’d enjoy making a…

Success and a Bonus Baby Quilt

Posted on September 7, 2020October 22, 2020

My not so successful leader and ender quilt (in that I binge sewed it and didn’t do it as leader enders) has become a quilt top and I’m so happy how it turned out! A bonus baby quilt is being made from the leftover easy breezy blocks. The border isn’t on but I’ve made the…
