I managed to get a block finished after I got home from meeting Melanie for lunch – I believe that makes 12 left to make! It is getting there. Part way and took a short break. Came back later – go…
If you're tired of quilting traditional patterns, you should try the chandelier quilt pattern. See various patterns you can try in this post.
I have put a quick tutorial together on how I made this quilt, and what cutting measurements I used.
I promised I would show you what I made with the leftovers from my Bow Tie Quilt... Well, I actually made TWO quilts. But today I am sharing just one of them (don't worry I'll share the second one soon). The first quilt from the leftovers was a scrappy 9-Patch and Snowball quilt! Two blocks, in my opinion, where you never can go wrong! In fact, this combination of blocks creates a classic pattern you've probably seen before. They make a fun secondary pattern together, too! This is a great pattern to help you use up scraps! I used 4" (cut) squares for the 9-Patch squares and the bright Snowball corners. The large, white Snowball squares were cut at 11". But really, with some simple math, you could adjust this pattern to work with any size squares! I just so happened to have 4" squares left over from my Bow Tie quilt. I mocked up this version in EQ7 to show you the entire layout. I did a 5 x 7 block layout to keep the symmetry, but with that came a slightly long, skinny quilt. Mine finished at 52" x 73". Normally I think a good proportion is about a 12" - 15" difference. If you aren't a fan of the long, skinny look, another option would be to make it square. I personally am perfectly fine with square quilts, but I know some people aren't. And since I was making this just for fun (and was planning on selling it), I decided to keep it rectangular. I found a pink Riley Blake floral for the back and a turquoise gingham for the binding. I didn't show many pictures of this quilt on Instagram because unfortunately there was an issue with the long-arm quilting. You probably can't tell from these photos since I tried to hide the parts that were really bad, although now I'm wishing I would've taken some pictures of those parts to show you! But basically, I used a new-to-me long-arm quilting company and I think this was the first time they used this orange peel design and they had a hard time lining up the design. There was a lot of overlapping and such. I felt bad (and I know they felt really bad) but these things happen sometimes. Fortunately, they made it right in the end, which I appreciated. I ended up selling the quilt (with a huge discount) to a photographer wanting to use it as a photo prop. And obviously, I told her ahead of time what the situation was. Overall, I still think this quilt turned out cute. After washing and drying it, the owner may not notice all the imperfections in the quilting. I love the fabrics and the design, and orange peel quilting is always a favorite of mine! Maybe I'll make another one someday. I definitely have lots of squares that need to be put to good use. Have you ever had a long-arm quilting "mishap"? I am thinking about putting together a blog post with some advice to long-arm quilters from their customers. Over the 20 years that I've been quilting, I've had hundreds of quilts long-arm quilted and I've learned a lot. I've dealt with a few mishaps along the way and have definitely seen a difference in how different long-armers handle them. Some of them handle it wonderfully and some of them don't. I wish they all had a policy in place for how they will handle mistakes, because they are bound to happen once in a while. Please share your "mishap" stories or the advice you wish you could give your long-arm quilter below. Thanks for stopping by!
The Minimalist Square Burst is the third, and final, quilt in the Square Burst 2.0 series. This variation uses just two fabrics to create a more modern look! Is this my favorite quilt I've ever made? Maybe. I love absolutely everything about this quilt. From the texture of the Essex linens, to the softness of the Art
In this tutorial I'll show you a new size upgrade option for my Dragon Dreams pattern: add a flower banner to make a beautiful throw quilt!

"This adorable Balsam Gnomes quilt pattern is an easy pattern for even a beginning quilter. Measuring 56” x 72” this quilt is the perfect size to snuggle under! This fun quilt is so charming draped on the back of your couch, the end of your bed, or hanging on a ladder or wall in your home!! You’ll be smitten with it! The gnomes are created using a variety of red prints, along with white fabric for the beard and peach fabric for the nose. The balsam trees are created using a variety of green prints, along with a little brown for the trunk. For the background I used a variety of buttery cream prints to show off the gnomes and the balsam trees. I used brown fabric for the binding strip. Have fun choosing your color palette, and remember…there are no rules!! "

Hello all the chums! Take a look at some of these blocks - just changed the placing of the colour and you get such a different block. This one is a "Swoon" block. The small squares are 2" and the block if 16" (42 cm) Should make a great HST project. This is a "Carpenter's Frame" block and is the base of the "Swoon" block. These all came off the same block - by just changing the colour placement. Once the magazine is done, I'll write up the instructions for this Swarm of Swoons and we can see about doing a FREE HST - along. ************************************* The Lake Quilt a Long is ready to start, so from 2 July we are going for it - full steam ahead!! I hope your name is on the list ..... More info HERE Have a Great Day! Visit My Pattern Shop https://www.facebook.com/QuiltArtDesigns
Flutter (above) Whirly Bloom (above) Both designs share several similarities in their construction: Both designs use the Gem Stones Brights Collection allowing the gradated colors to dance around within each block! Both designs use the Triangle-in-a-Square Ruler. Can you see where the Triangle-in-a-Square block is in each design? And both designs are available as KITS! You can get Flutter in either the light ground (Cloud) or dark ground (Riley Black) colorway: Flutter (Light Colorway - Cloud) above Flutter (Dark Colorway - Riley Black) above And the same for Whirly Blooms; a light and dark colorway! Whirly Blooms (Light Colorway - Cloud) above Whirly Blooms (Dark Colorway - Riley Black) above Do you Flutter or do you Whirly Bloom? Want to know what I do? At the moment, I'm both! I'm currently all a Flutter preparing for the Riley Blake Designs Virtual Quilt Market from November 18-20 as more ideas on what to show and share with you Whirly Bloom around in my head. Until then, I'm just going to pause my "flutter" for just a moment . . . . . . and let the "whirling" ideas bloom into something fun to show and share with you! Here's all the links if you're interested in either one of the kits! Flutter (Cloud Colorway) Kit here! Flutter (Riley Black Colorway) Kit here! Whirly Blooms (Cloud Colorway) Kit here!

If lattice or trellis pattern was so popular in prints it might have been popular in patchwork. In my BlockBase program I did a wildcard search for the word lattice and found 16 patterns with that word in the name Only two for "Trellis" I chose "Quick Quilt" from the Menu and saw how a grid of multiple blocks would look. This "Square Lattice" from the Nancy Cabot column in the Chicago Tribune would definitely qualify as a trellis or lattice. BlockBase #4110 was also by Nancy. She called it Nauvoo Lattice. Here's one you could possibly piece called Basket Lattice from the Ladies Art Company in the early 20th century (BlockBase #452.) I've never seen anyone try it though. This is more pieceable---Arabic Lattice. The BlockBase # is 2561 and there are several ways to arrange the block. I don't credit it to Ruby McKim in BlockBase but I probably should have. It's a clever pattern, but like the others, not too popular in the early 20th century. This very pink version is from Cindy's Antiques.
