Here it is March and I have my first big finished quilt for the year! It's a Kaleidoscope in Lottie Da and True Colors by Heather Bailey. I'm a big fan of Heather's fabric - Pop Garden is one of my favorite all time fabric lines. It's been a while since she released a new line and I was thrilled to see Lottie Da hit the market. The orchid threw me a bit. I'm not usually a purple lover, but I think this color gives it a bright, Springy, fresh look. The quilting took a while. I wanted to emphasize the curved illusion created by a Kaleidoscope design. I quilted in the ditch from edge to edge along the triangles and again about an inch away tapering to the centers. A figure eight pattern filled in the empty space between the straight lines. This required many trips through the centers where the triangle points come together. I was a bit worried that there might be too much of a thread build-up there, but it turned out fine. Yay for Aurifil 50! I decided to go with the orchid chevron for the binding. Pretty happy with this one!!!

Quiltiing with the AccuQuilt® Go! system is easy. This quilt was made with the Hattie's Choice and the 2" half square triangle dies.
This post is another one of my "ketchup" posts, trying to share some of my past finished projects. Today's quilt share is for my Tennessee Waltz quilt. It has become one of my favorites, although at first, I wasn't terribly excited about making it. It now holds some very fond memories for me, so I think after you read
A fun retreat in Midway, Utah, hosted by American Quilting. Lots of classes, show and tell, nice people, beautiful quilts, and gelato too.
Hi, all! Well, it has been quite a week, with the ending of this year's Hands2Help Challenge - and that means I've been too busy to work on my Wedge Play quilt (boo...)! And this is the last Wednesday of the month, too. So I'm probably not going to get it finished before June 1, but I'll definitely finish it before July 1! I'm going to wait until next week to share my June goal for Scrap Attack, because honestly, I don't have time to think about it right now! But I did think of a great reason for this post - a way to use up charm squares! Now, if you're new to quilting, charm squares may be one of those phrases that you wish you knew. So here's the skinny - charm squares are 5" squares! Isn't that simple? It's a pretty common precut size, so most people have them in their stash. The trick to having a box of scrappy charms is to know a way to use them! So here are some ideas I found online.... This one's pretty simple, but offsetting the charm squares creates some nice movement. By Dawna Caplin This has long been a favorite of mine - simple but modern. And don't you just love that quilting? I think using the print for sashing was brilliant - it really gives it a vintage flair! Everyone knows you can use charm squares to make HST blocks - but have you ever put them on point? They take on a whole new look when assembled this way! Here's another option for laying them out on point - it really showcases the prints in these charms! If you've got a bunch of charms in one or two colors, pairing them up with a nice neutral makes for a striking quilt! And this would look so great totally scrappy! It's so simple - split your charm square diagonally, sew a strip between the two triangles and trim to square... And this quilt just fascinates me! I love the movement, the "different" of it - and I MUST make one of these! *&*&*&*&*&*&* So now, do you feel inspired to put some of those charm squares to work? I know I'm itching to make something but I have to finish some other things first. Oh well - it's something to look forward to! Hugs! Sarah

So you may have noticed these quilts already in my pictures from my last trip to Shipshewana, but here's better pictures for ya. For this version of Aura, I immediately fell in love with Kate Spain's new collection, Honey Honey. I was going back and forth over which background to use. I ended up choosing this navy from the Primitive Muslins by Moda, but the other option was a Charcoal Gray from the Bella Solids. I love how the navy makes the colors pop though. I quilted this one very similarly to the original, but both quilts look very different, don't you think? And this version of Tiny Bits isn't much different than the original. They both use the same sashing and binding, but the newer version uses Jenn Ski's new line for Moda, Oink A Doodle Moo. Not only is it absolutely adorable, it's super fun to say. The original version was made with Jenn's last line, Ten Little Things, so that's why the quilts are so similar. I love the quilting in this one, it's great for modern baby quilts that seem to be everywhere these days. Honey Honey is definitely in stores now and is ready for purchase while Oink A Doodle Moo should be arriving any day now. I may just be making more new versions of some more book quilts in the future. Check back for those as I'll share pictures on here!
This little quilt is becoming one of my all time favorites. I love this color palate and really like this design. It has given me fits ...

Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Stepping Stones quilt block designed in EQ7. I next had to decide on a positive or negative setting. I drew these up on my EQ7 quilt program. I asked my son Russell for his opinion. He favoured the one on the left in the positive setting. But I really liked the one on the right in the negative setting! It was just too hard to chose one over the other. So I decided to make both! Before we dive right in to the tutorial, there are a few points I would like to make.... First, the piecing of the diagonal seams went quickly using a piece of masking tape as a guide. This tape shows the center line and there was no need to draw a line on the pieces. So simple and such a time saver! After chain piecing, taking the pieces to the cutting board and trimming them all in a row made quick work of the trimming. Then the pieces were brought to the ironing board and then snipped apart from each other before pressing. I pressed ALL my seams open. Second, the ability to sew an exact quarter inch seam, or even better, a scant quarter inch seam, will make the piecing of this block so much more enjoyable. This is a tough block - a real skill builder. Although I was wondering why I had chosen this block for my project without first considering how difficult it would be.... I did not resort to "Cry Me A River", but persevered and accepted my less than perfect points and the wonkiness of my blocks. For assistance in achieving a 1/4" seam, please check out this post from my Top 10 Tips for New Quilters series. Third, this block uses 1" finished strips. Therefore, the use of a solid or a "reads like a solid" print is best suited to this design. Using a directional print or any large scale print may result in less than appealing results. For each block, you will need: Making the Blocks: Step 1: Sew a white 3.5” x 12.5” rectangle to a print 1.5” x 12.5” rectangle. Sew a print 1.5” x 12.5” rectangle between a white 2.5” x 12.5” rectangle and a white 1.5” x 12.5” rectangle. Press the seams open. Then crosscut each completed unit into (8) 1.5” wide strips. Step 2: Arrange these strips as shown and sew together. Make (2) of each of these units. Press the seams open. Step 3: Place a white 1.5” x 2.5” rectangle and a white 1.5” x 1.5” square onto the ends of a print 1.5” x 3.5” rectangle. Mark the diagonals, shown by the black line and sew along this line. Trim the corners as shown in red. Press the seams open. Make a mirrored unit, as shown below, and sew these units together. Press the seams open. Make (4). Step 4: Arrange your units made in steps 1 to 3 around a print 2.5” square, as shown. Sew units into rows. Press seams open. Sew the rows together to complete the block. Press seams open. Block should measure 10.5” square This tutorial is now listed on my tutorial page here. As you can see from these pictures that I shared on instagram.... My points are not good. My seams are oversized. And my blocks turned out kinda wonky. But I took my own advice as outlined at the beginning of this tutorial and adjusted my needle, giving me a scant 1/4" seam. The second set of blocks turned out so much better. No more wonky! The points were matching much more easily. And the blocks were laying nice and flat. The completed quilt tops overall dimensions were surprisingly different as well. The first quilt blocks made using an inaccurate 1/4" seam resulted in a finished top measuring 38.5" x 48.5" Positive setting with inaccurate 1/4" seam finished at 38.5" x 48.5" The second quilt blocks made using an accurate 1/4" seam resulted in a finished top measuring 41" x 51". This is a 2.5" difference in both the width and the length. That's Incredible! Absolutely astounding! Negative setting with accurate 1/4" seam finished at 41" x 51" Hoped you enjoyed the tutorial!
