Chain Link Quilt

Posted on August 25, 2019June 11, 2020

I saw the pattern for the main block in this top somewhere on my travels on the internet. I can’t remember where it was, maybe facebook, but the block pattern stuck with me even though I read that it included partial seams. The partial seams turned out to be simple! I had just enough of…

A Wider Nine Patch Quilt

Posted on August 12, 2019June 11, 2020

I wasn’t happy with the nine patch quilt as originally made. It was too long and skinny. I’m intending (as of now) for it to be a child’s charity cuddle quit but as initially made it would only be useful if the child was a skinny beanpole. So, first I made an additional column and…

Nine Patch Quilt

Posted on August 5, 2019June 11, 2020

I started making some 9 patches a la Bonnie Hunter. Scrappy whites/lights, scrappy anything goes colours, darks in the center and outside corners and lights in the other positions. I made a bunch with no real plan in mind. Simple pleasurable, mindless sewing – the best kinkd. The a friend showed me a quilt ….

Fish Quilt

Posted on June 18, 2019November 29, 2020

A friend of ours is having a third baby and for each of her first two babies we made her a quilt that was “sea” themed. This time around we couldn’t find any suitable materials and were at a loss what to make until I saw a quilt on another blog called one-fish-two-fish-red-fish-blue-fish That was…

Dancing Nine Patch Quilt

Posted on June 12, 2019June 11, 2020

When I pulled apart the almost finished Bonnie Hunter Rick Rack Nines quilt from her Adventures with Leaders and Enders book, I ended up making 7 smaller quilt tops from it. This is the second of the quilts that have been completed. The 9 patches were from the torn apart quilt and I added the…

Happy Blocks and Maple Leafs

Posted on May 15, 2019June 11, 2020

Three of my recent finishes are my happy blocks quilt and 2 Maple Leafs quilts. The Toronto Maple Leafs fabric was bought when my nephews were much younger and is no longer suitable for a quilt for either of them, hence these quilts that will be donated to my guild for the charity outreach program….

Black & White Quilt – Finished!

Posted on May 7, 2019June 11, 2020

And after a few days of binding another quilt is finally off of the UFO pile and ready for use. This quilt is slightly too small to be used on our bed (it fits – just – but likely blanket wars would ensue…), so it will find a home on the spare bed, giving the…

Idaho Square Dance Quilt

Posted on May 1, 2019June 11, 2020

This quilt is made from a block by Bonnie Hunter featured her Addicted to Scraps column in Quiltmaker magazine called Idaho Square Dance. It’s made in blues and creams/whites from my stash. The quilt ended up 93″ inches square. It has been gifted to a dear friend. If my math is right there are 2,763…

144 Patch Quilt Completed

Posted on April 6, 2019June 11, 2020

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…

Small Scrappy Quilt

Posted on March 17, 2019August 12, 2020

This quilt started out as part of a much bigger quilt. I was going to make a king size quilt called Rick Rack Nines designed by Bonnie Hunter but I got absolutely lost during it’s assembly. I picked it up three different times during assembly and each time just made more of a mess of…
