I recently had a request to post the sizes of the blocks for my Chunky Cut Christmas Quilt. (Marilyn, I'm sorry I have been unable to respond to you personally, but you are a no-reply blogger.) This quilt is quick and fun and a great way to bust some stash if you are feeling you need to liberate fabric from your shelves. It would be so good in many different fabrics, I think, so if you make one, be sure to share. I'm sorry I don't have time to fancy up my quilt sketch before publishing here. I did consider it, but it will be a long time before I find time to do that, so I hope the sketch is legible on your screen and that it all makes sense to you. I constructed the block in sections A to I (indicated by the bolder lines on the larger diagram) and joined them into three rows to complete. The sizes on the diagram are finished block sizes, so remember to add a half inch to each measurement to allow for your quarter inch seams. The seam allowances are included on the cutting list below for you. Section A Cut 1: 15 ½" x 6 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 12 ½" Section B Cut 2: 9 ½" squares Cut 1: 9 ½" x 18 ½" Section C Cut 2: 15 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 2: 9 ½" squares Section D Cut 2: 9 ½" squares Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 12 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 6 ½" Section E Cut 1: 9 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 6 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" square Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Section F Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" square Cut 1: 6 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 6 ½" Section G Cut 1: 6 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 12 ½" x 6 ½" Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 18 ½" x 9 ½" Section H Cut 1: 15 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" square Cut 1: 9 ½" x 15 ½" Section I Cut 1: 9 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 15 ½" x 12 ½" Binding You will need 15" FWOF for binding 246" of binding is required Cut 6 strips 2.5" x FWOF Backing I used a brushed cotton sheet for my backing so I didn't calculate actual yardage but the quilt will measure 57 ½" x 66 ½" finished, so you will need backing to cover this size. I think 3m/3yds should cover it but please check as I didn't calculate this for my own sewing purposes. I hope this is helpful to you Marilyn, and maybe others will also enjoy breaking out some long held fabrics for a fun scrap buster! Happy stitching!!

I'm using this book as a guideline to making my own one-block wonder quilt. The book has pretty clear instructions, and the photo illustrations are really good. The technique isn't new by any means (anybody remember Stack and Whack by Bethany Reynolds?!) and it uses a ton of fabric, but at least it's just ONE fabric. And there's the beauty of it - one fabric that produces a hundred different blocks. You'll see. Follow along with me..... The fabric I'm using isn't what I would have picked out for myself since I'm not much of a fan of black backgrounds. But I chose this particular fabric with an eye toward my parents' new condo - I think the black with touches of reds, yellows, greens and a hint of blue will go in their new great room really well. I can almost ALWAYS count on finding what I'm looking for at my local quilt shop (Kindred Quilts). Take a good look at the fabric - when it's all said and done, you'll never know that was the base of it all. The following is going to be really abbreviated, for the whole, entire, complete she-bang, you really will have to get the book! The first step is to find the repeats in the pattern of the fabric and, to make hexagons, you'll need to cut 6 (some icky math : hexagon = 6 sides) sections of the fabric. This is why you need some major yardage - I used a little over 4 yards. Carefully stack the 6 sections on top of each other. Use pins to line up the edges by pinning through the exact same place in all six sections. This is the real pain in the butt part - time-consuming, and nitpicky. Haste makes waste. Now that the sections are pinned on all four sides, I carefully lay this out on the cutting board and make the first cut to trim up one edge. I only cut about 1/2". Then I make the first, gulp, real cut. It's a 3 and 3/4" strip from selvage edge to selvage edge. Put a couple pins in the large section and cut another strip. Laying one strip out on the cutting board, I used my equilateral triangle (icky math alert: all 3 sides are equal) ruler and cut the triangle sections out. I have to take the time to pin each section together - after all, I'll have... hmm, I didn't count, but surely more than 70 of these sections, and I sure would hate to drop them and they get all mixed up! I felt like peeking at a couple of the sections. I fanned four of them out to see what the final image will look like. Now that's inspirational!! I can hardly wait - each one of the triangle sections cut from 6 strips will be a slightly different version.

Essentially, celebrities (or the stylists who dress them) are the original trendsetters. Many beauty and fashion trends are often inspired by megastars rocking their hawt-est looks. And, well, the rest of us are just copycats, or, in social media terms, followers. However, while the world is copying everything they do, there's something that is entirely theirs and is often hidden under their garments. And that is celebrity tattoos.

Learn how to cut and resew a ho-hum four-patch block and turn it into a spectacular disappearing four-patch quilt block. (Easy, too!)
Ever wonder what to do with a fat eighth? Here is one great simple block - it's a disappearing 9 patch - cut on the diagonal and reassembled. For this quilt I used all Cotton + Steel fat eighths. A fat eighth is 9" x 21" - but not all fabric cuts are totally accurate. Some of my pieces were just shy of 9" deep, so I cut my squares for this 9-patch: 4 1/4" x 4 1/4". Pull out 9 squares that make a variety in both color and dark/light. Sew into a 9 patch, 3 across by 3 down. Now cut this whole unit from corner to corner on the diagonal. You will end up with 4 pieces. Put these into a pile and start the whole process over again. Now comes the fun part. Take two random triangles and position them so that the two large, uncut squares are opposite each other. Don't try and be all matchy matchy or overthink this. There is so much pattern that trying to 'figure out what looks best' is not really possible. Put your pairs all together and have fun sewing them together. Now its TIME TO TRIM! My blocks were a little shy of an 8"x 8" - so I just grabbed my 7.5" square ruler and trimmed everything to 7.5" x 7.5". Yes, a little waste with the trimming but I really didn't want to chase after an extra half inch or so and following the template made perfect blocks and kept this project relaxing and fun. Now the important part - layout is key. There are two whole squares in the middle of your block, and above them are two small triangles (dark pink and stripped in the pix above). The goal is to have the 'little triangles' meet whenever you can during the layout phase. Why do it this way? I think it's easier to find the little triangles as a repeating pattern on an already busy looking block. The pix above shows how easy it is to find the four little triangles to match up. Not every side of your blocks will have little triangles to match. But if you do it this way - lots of secondary diamond shapes appear throughout your quilt ... all created by the various sized triangles lining up. To layout on point - here is a video from the Fat Quarter Shop for visual instruction. There is also a link for a downloadable cutting & measurement chart. I would recommend using Kimberly's suggested cutting sizes and even going a half inch larger for the corner triangles - this will allow lots of wiggle room for squaring up. Notes: one 9-patch made with 4.25" squares yields 4 'triangles' (or 2 blocks). Each block is trimmed to 7.5" x 7.5" This quilt has 25 Cotton + Steel blocks. Following the Fat Quarter downloadable chart, the rest is Kona white with a 3" border on every side. The back is a rainbow of left over minkys and here is my post on how to do that. I press my seams open so quilting was done with a walking foot on either side of the seams - and through the larger squares that didn't have seams. Because of the minky back I did a generous 3.30 straight stitch length and used Aurifil 50wt. #2000. Two links to earlier quilts made with this block, not on point but a little easier Row by Row: here and here. I hope that this variation of the disappearing 9 patch becomes as fun for you as it is for me.
