Today I'm sharing with you a fun, scrappy block called Scrappy Susannah. This block is a fantastic way to use up some scraps since all of the needed squares are either 3.5” or 4.25”. Here’s the tutorial! **edited to add: A printable version of these instructions is now available here as a PDF!** For one (12.5") block you’ll need: 8 (3.5”) print squares 4 (3.5”) white or background squares 2 (4.25”) print squares 2 (4.25”) white or background squares 1. On the two (4.25”) white squares, draw a diagonal line or fold in half and finger press. 2. Place each 4.25” white square right sides together with a 4.25” print square. Sew about 1/4” on both sides of the drawn line. 3. Cut along the drawn line to make two half square triangles (HST). 4. Open HSTs, press and trim each HST to be 3.5” 5. Layout squares as shown. 6. Using a 1/4” seam, sew squares into rows. Press each row. (I prefer to press seams open at this point) 7. Sew rows together, matching seams, and press block. Block should measure 12.5” And there you have it! Pretty easy, right? If you'd like to print out this tutorial for easy reference later, you can find a free downloadable PDF here.

Anyone care to do a quilt-a-long? I'll give you instructions on how to make a quilt block each week. At the end of 12 weeks you will have enough blocks for a great start on a quilt top. I was going to do a block of the month thingy with some friends back in Michigan, but before I got around to it, I moved away. So it has turned into a virtual quilt along, and you all are invited. I chose some 30's prints from my stash and a cream tone on tone fabric. Cut one square 4.5" from your print fabric Cut 8 squares 2.5" from your print fabric Cut 4 rectangles 2.5" x 4.5" from your background fabric Cut 4 rectangles 2.5" x 8.5" from your background fabric Sew together as shown And there you have your first finished block. So, who's in? I'll add a list to my sidebar linking to your blog (if you have one), assuming that anyone wants to join me. edit: this would be a great stash buster quilt-definitely use what you have-I know I am. :) The one thing that I will be doing, (but you don't have to) is use the same background fabric for each block. You can make this as scrappy as you want. The accent fabric will use little pieces. For instance, I had a fat eighth of the red, and I still had some scraps leftover. This of course will vary with each block. Any further questions I will answer in the comments. (yay, I'm excited that you are joining in!)
The Scrappiness is Happiness quilt along starts today and I'm so excited to share that I'll be joining Lori Holt, the Fat Quarter Shop and a number of quilty bloggers in this fun project. The quilt along will run for the next 31 weeks and we'll be sharing a block each Monday. The first block, from the Lori Holt's new book, Scrappiness is Happiness, is called the Buzzy Bee Block. Cute right? #scrappinessishappinessqal We are sewing with any fabrics we choose - it can be a complete range, a mix of different ranges, or completely scrappy. I decided to go with some Lori Holt prints from her Bee Cross Stitch range of fabric along with a few solids. I don't have a plan for each fabric just yet, but chose a variety of colours to work with. You can find quilting fabric and quilting supplies for your project at Fat Quarter Shop. Bee Cross Stitch fabric available from FQS here If you'd like to join in the scrappy happy fun, you can find all of the details over at The Jolly Jabber with links on fabrics, the quilt along pattern along with the new book which includes all of the block instructions.

Here are 12 blocks that use only Half Square Triangle (HST) and squares. Easy, fun and pretty designs for the beginner or more advanced quilter. The Half Square Triangle has long been a staple in quilting. Many, many blocks use it for at least part of their construction.

One of my dearest friends approached me a few weeks ago to ask whether I could help her customise one of my patterns. Her work colleague was injured in the Manchester Arena bombing and she wanted to raise funds for him by making a special quilt to raffle. The block she wanted to include was a Bee. The industrious Worker Bee has been a symbol of the city of Manchester since the C19th and, since the terrorist attack, has been adopted as an emblem of unity, strength and positivity. In that spirit,
