This quilt has been in the works for a while, and in my head I'd deemed it our 'end of summer/early fall' quilt. It's primarily made from a charm pack of American Jane Happy Campers, and I will allow myself the disclaimer that this isn't my first choice for binding. But it's leftover from a…

More storms and tornado warnings a couple miles south last night so I had the machine unplugged again for awhile. 8/10 of an inch of rain and lots of wind. I finished sewing this together by 11p.m. and then pressed it and did a row of stay-stitching around the edge. When it is sewn together I can really tell if it is successful. When it is just pieces on the design wall I have my doubts. I'll call this one a success! It is 44" x 64". I will be posting a couple collages of the progress as I worked on this one.

I’m so happy to announce that I have another quilt published in a major quilting magazine! My Color Catcher pattern is in the January/February issue of McCall’s Quilting! Color Catcher is a quilt I whipped up from my scrap stash. It is a very quick make – with the help of my AccuQuilt Go! I … Continue reading Color Catcher Quilt

Even since I saw Steffani's St Louis 16 patch quilt on her blog, I have been smitten. I am not sure if it is the richness of the colours, the gorgeous AMH fabrics, the purples (I adore purple!) or what it is, but I knew I wanted to make one too. Source : sewwithsass.blogspot.com I didn't jump on the bandwagon when it was first doing the rounds of Flickr and Instagram as the time wasn't right, but I had the urge to cut into my Chicopee last week. This is one of my favourite Denyse Schmidt ranges and I think it is the rich colours of the reds, the oranges, pinks and blues that just sang to me. I started off with just 4 blocks to see if I liked the look of them. They stitched up so easily. Seriously, Steffani's tutorial is incredibly easy to follow. I mixed the Chicopee with some Hope Valley and some older ranges of DS fabrics that I have been hoarding waiting for the right quilt to come along. I loved the look of these so continued until I had 22. Was going to go for a 5 x 6 layout but it would have been for one mother of a quilt! Will pop the extra 2 on the back.

So... as I mentioned in our last post where I showed you My Favorite Destination Quilts... I am presenting this list purely as a fan of quilting.I have no special training and little to no experience creating quilts.The quilts in this post simply represent those that I loved the most and I hope you enjoy

Sure, squares are interesting and easy. So, why not? If you are considering making a quilt, any one of these would be a great way to begin. How, you ask? 1. Start with a square of fabric and sew it to another square. Keep adding squares to form a row until you are satisfied that the row is long enough. Thirty inches is a good start, but you can certainly make it any length you want. 2. Make several rows. If you have a square quilt in mind (equal length and width) count the squares in the first row and make that many rows. 3. Now you're ready to begin stitching the rows together. Sew two rows together matching up the squares as you go. 4. Keep going till all the rows are in place. Really, it's that simple. One of the great reasons to use simple squares is that you can use a different fabric for each square or just a few fabrics for the entire quilt. Thanks for stopping by. Please say hello.

Two-Color Quilts Shine In Their Simplicity By Rebecca Bratburd With the largest ever fabric palette in history available to us, it’s a wonderful time to be a quilter. Yet, two-color quilts, with their muted honesty, offer a welcome vacation from the high volume that life brings to us in this day and age. Amy from Sewn Handmade built her Scandinavian Series on monochromatic and two-tone quilts, and it’s worth a deeper consideration. Speaking to minimalists, color enthusiasts and everyone in between, two-color quilts transcend trends and maintain their classic appeal— forever. At the same time, two-color quilts can transform a quilt pattern into a modern work of art. Both classic and modern, traditional and bold, two-color quilts shine in their simplicity. Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by a black-and-white quilt, red-and-white quilt, or a blue-and-white quilt? Head over to the feeds of contemporary quiltmakers Megan Legrand, Lelie Lemon, Park Lane Studio for striking examples of modern-day, two-color quilts. Building a fabric stash and arriving at fabric pulls is a common conundrum we quilters find ourselves in. With an ever-expanding array of swoon-worthy prints and solid colors made available to us in fabric stores, it can be overwhelming to know what to do next. Plenty of quilters stick to using fabrics in solid colors, yet that still leaves hundreds of options on the table. Throw in small prints, dots, or calicos, and unless you have an art education, decision paralysis can get the best of us. With Amy’s black-and-white quilts serving as our guide, we recently caught up on all things quilting, and she shared some of her insights about the magic of two-color quilts. Rebecca Bratburd: What inspired you to write patterns that work well with two colors? Amy Schelle: When I decided to design a quilt pattern series that was inspired by each room in my house, I knew I wasn’t going to be sewing up any colorful quilts. My own design style is very neutral. I love soft, natural colors and textures, so when I went to pull fabrics, I was drawn to designing in black and white. RB: How did you arrive at using dark backgrounds for many of your quilts, like the cover quilts for the Sunroom, Living Room, and Mudroom patterns? AS: I honestly selected black as the background for its practicality. With two toddlers in the house, I knew it would show fewer stains. We use our quilts constantly around here. I also knew it would photograph well for the cover of the quilt patterns themselves. I wanted the cover to be very simple in design with a white background. RB: The more practical it is, the more a quilt will be used, which is what most of us hope for. How would you describe your thought process behind your monochromatic quilt pattern designs? AS: I specifically go for black, white, and gray because that’s what looks best in my home. These quilts float around our entire house, so now it doesn’t matter what room they are in, they match! For my most recent series, the Scandinavian Series, I wanted to give people the option to add more color, so I intentionally designed these in more of a gradient. My hope is that this will also help people when they are trying to choose fabrics for their quilt by pulling their fabrics from darkest to lightest. I think it can be overwhelming for people to visualize and pull fabrics for a new quilt, especially when you are standing in a quilt store surrounded by a million beautiful options! My hope is that this will simplify it for them. RB: You have a love for beautiful interiors. Before you make a quilt, or write a quilt pattern, do you first envision it in your beautifully-designed home or a room you saw on Instagram or in a magazine? I’m looking at The Citizenry, Design Within Reach, Muuto, etc. AS: YES! I am always, always inspired by The Citizenry. As I mentioned, I consider what room the quilt will live in at my own house, but mostly I let myself get lost in Pinterest for a while and just explore rooms that speak to me. I love McGee & Co as well! Their interiors are so simple and clean, yet still interesting. I also find a lot of inspiration in tile designers like Ann Sacks or Fireclay Tile. My goal is to always design a pattern that will look fabulous in a well-designed space. RB: If we looked at your current fabric stash, would we find a mostly monochromatic collection, or would we find that you, like the best of us, end up with a dizzying array of colors and prints? AS: Everything I have is very neutral and earthy. I also don’t keep a huge stash on hand because I get very stressed out by clutter. I sort my fabrics by color and the two largest bins are black, white, brown, and off-white. If I have other colors, they are more natural colors like blue and green. I don’t really have any prints at all. I love to use a variety of textures, so you will mostly find a mix of solid cottons, wovens, linens, and canvas. If I use a print, it’s usually on the back of a quilt so when I order it, it goes right onto a specific quilt. RB: You’ve released three of the four patterns from your Scandinavian Series. Quilt kits are available from Pasadena Quilt Studio, Rosie Girl Quilting, Lamb and Loom, and Rose Petal Quilt Shop. Some have two colors, some have more. How do these collaborations come to be? Why might these kits be a great option for beginners and seasoned quilters alike? AS: All of these collaborations have happened organically with time. We have all found each other through Instagram! Some of these shops pull their own fabrics and sew up their own samples. Some of them let me select the fabrics, then they sew up the sample. If I am pulling the fabrics, I make sure it will vary from any versions I am making so that customers will be able to visualize a variety of options. Kits have become such a hit because it takes out the guesswork. Customers can see what the finished quilt will look like so it’s not as much of a risk when you’re buying all that fabric. You know it’s going to be gorgeous. For example, I have a friend that wanted to make quilts for both her daughter-in-laws, who aren’t quilters. This made it much easier for her to show them options before purchasing a bunch of fabric they may not like. RB: Any last thoughts on two-color quilts? AS: Quilt patterns with two-color cover quilts age better, I was recently told by a quilt shop that sells paper copies of my patterns. Patterns can appear dated more quickly if the cover version of the quilt is done in trending fabrics. Black and white is pretty timeless! They also said it helps their customers select fabrics more easily because it’s only two colors.

Free Log Cabin Block Pattern. As I have been making my blocks with random strips of my fabrics it has been a lesson in colour combinations, accurate 1/4 inch seams, cutting accuracy etc etc. Apart from the obvious lessons it has also been a pleasure to see fabrics that have been tucked away for a rainy day or that special quilt being used. It is so nice to have these gorgeous fabrics being used and documented in this quilt. My blocks are made with strips cut 1.5 inches wide. Separate your fabrics into light and dark. A squares cut (two) squares one Red, one light 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches B Cut (two) light strips 2.5 inches C Cut (two) Dark strips 3.5 inches D Cut (two) light strips 4.5 inches E Cut (two) Dark strips 5.5 inches F Cut (two) Light Strips 6.5 inches G Cut (one) Strip 7.5 inches. Sew your A squares together. Add B pieces, then C pieces, then D pieces, continue adding rounds till finished. This makes a 7 inch block, it is easy to change the size just keep adding rounds for a larger block. Or if you would like a smaller block add less rounds. There are many ways to arrange your blocks, I suggest making a few first then playingwith them on a design wall to see which arrangement you like best. As I am still deciding on this you will need to wait until my next post to see how I have arranged my Log Cabin Blocks. I am sure you must have some of these fabrics tucked away in your stash, it is such fun to see what we all have. Do you have any favorite's ? Happy Stitching Sharon

Happy New Year, everyone! One of my goals for 2022 is to blog more, so here I am with a couple of quilts to share. "Rio Linda" 54" x 70" The story behind this quilt is fun. I gave a Zoom lecture on scraps to a guild in upstate New York that had been organized by a blog reader (Hello, Linda!!). In my remarks I mentioned the rule that I use for myself to prevent my scraps from overtaking the world. The rule is that if a scrap basket starts mounding at all, if the drawer won't close or a lid won't snap on, I have to make a scrap quilt. Linda was motivated by this advice and found a creative solution for her solids tote that had a lid that wouldn't shut. She peeled off the uppermost layer and sent it to me! Voila, fixed! I'm a sucker for a good story and a stack of solids, so to honor her ingenuity, I challenged myself to make a quilt with her stack without any additions or subtractions. Luckily for me there was a good range of values in her random pick. I think this quilt is a wonderful example of how value is just as important as hue. I included a black and white photo so you can see the great variety of lights and darks. There were a couple of times that I ran out of Linda's fabric and had to use a little of my stash, but they were either exact matches or so incredibly close that I'm the only one that would ever know the difference. The vibe ended up being kind of Californian so I found a fun way to name the quilt after her. All the strips were cut freehand without a ruler. I pressed carefully and consistently to help combat any waviness in the piecing. Once I cut into my wonky piecing to get the squares and rectangles, I lost any of the slight bubbling I'd developed by not cutting the strips to match. A flat quilt is a point of pride for me and I'm happy to say that despite some unconventional piecing, this one is as flat as a pancake! This was hand quilted with perle 8 and 12 wt. threads in the car during our many trips this summer. It's driven to Idaho and Connecticut and has warmed my lap through plenty of piano lessons. When we were on the NY Thruway, I made sure that I waved in, what I hoped was, the general direction of the guild that inspired this quilt. "Rio Linda II" ~27" x 27" This is the quilt that I made with the scraps. I've shared before that I like to cut strips out when I'm working on a quilt and place them in a bucket right next to the sewing machine. I enjoy challenging myself to empty that bucket by making a scrap quilt when I'm finished. I've done several of these checkerboard style quilts and I really enjoy making them. They are also a great way to empty the bucket! I finished this quilt with crosshatch quilting in monofilament thread. Thank you so much, Linda, for the invitation to speak to your guild and for the hours of fun I had playing with the fabric you sent. And, if there are any members from the Ottawa MQG that happen to be reading this blog post, let me assure you that it is NOT a shameless plug for more packages of fabric. If you have a lid that won't snap and no ideas of what to do with it by the time I'm done with you on Monday, you're on your own. 😆😂 If your guild might be interested in a Zoom lecture ("Unlocking the Joy in Scraps") or if you're local and would like to have an in-person trunk show, hit me up at [email protected].
