I found this really interesting line from Windham Fabrics called "Measure".  They have fabrics that show compasses and rulers and writing and I just loved it.  I had been looking for a color palette of browns, creams and maybe a touch of black.  This fabric line was perfect for the 16-patch quilt I had in…

Hi friends! I'm so excited to share with you my finished St. Louis quilt top! I really love the way it's turned out, and it really was such a joy to piece. Using mainly a mix of Pam Kitty Love, Happy Go Lucky and Little Red Riding Hood to make is super bright and happy :) Find the tutorial here. I think it really shows off the fabrics well. It's huge too! I made the 5x6 blocks measuring 70" x 84", which is plenty big enough for me! luckily Robin is 6ft 1, he comes in rather handy for 'prop styling' ! ... though we had lots of fidgeting and interruptions during the 'photoshoot' this morning! "hurry up", "my arms are tired"... this is most certainly, a 'hurry-up face!' haha So it was a busy and productive weekend of sewing like I'd hoped! I had a whole, guilt-free day at my machine on Sunday, I was home alone the entire day! *bliss* so I figured cleaning the bathroom, and laundry could wait another day. I didn't do what I'd planned, instead started on another quilt project (like I need more) so lots to share with you soon... I hope you all had a fun weekend. xoxo

Four Patch Quilt Block Patterns

Main - using HST in an Arkansas Crossroads quilt - In the tidying up of my sewing room, I came across a bag of 2 1/2 HST from the Friendship triangle exchange about 6 years ago.....I know.

The inspiration for this quilt came from a small picture of part of an antique quilt, made with the nine patch block. I think what inspired me was the use of colour and of course the wonderful use of the flying geese blocks in the border. I hope you enjoy my pictures of this quilt.

I made Amelia this quilt for her first birthday. It's called orange, blue, green.... Ha! No, it is really a St. Louis 16 and is a classic patchwork quilt design. It is also an awesome tool for teaching colors, when using solids. I chose Kona because that is what my scrap baskets are full of! I made…
