Some traditional quilt block designs that I'm looking at using for some new ideas...

Marking tools make notations for designs and matching seams and are either permanent & temporary.

I got the hankering to make a small Winding Ways quilt or pillow cover. A quick search online for a downloadable template was less than inspiring. I found a wonky scan from a book, a smarmy admonis…

I have so much to say about this quilt pattern, but I'm not sure where to start! The Luminaries quilt pattern has been an idea, sitting in my drafts, for over a year now. The block sketch has been there waiting for the right time, the right fabric pull. When I was finalizing the Daybreak fabric collection, I had to fi

The Snail Trail quilt block is a little more tricky than some of the blocks we have done previously, so it's probably more suited to someone with a bit of experience in putting quilt blocks together. Having said that, if you follow our video and instructions you should be able to manage just fine. I am going to give you the instructions to make one block, but to get the full effect of the Snail Trail block you need to make a minimum of 4. This block will make an awesome quilt. We used one light and one dark

I work with big pieces of fabric for my project bags, but in the process, I get a lot of offcuts. These pieces are too small on their own, but still very beautiful, dyed with dyes that I extract from plants. It would be a shame to toss them! So to limit the waste to the minimum, I decided to start making bags made with

The block's size is 30 centimetres, like the previous ones. I would have liked to add more versions, but Inkscape isn't working as it should and I don't really know how to fix it :( Hopefully I'll still be able to make and post new patterns, but if it goes really quiet here for a while, you'll know why ;) Anyway, please click any image to enlarge and have fun :) Quilt block 7 Quilt block 7,blank Possible order of assembly Quilt top version Quilt top version, blocks on point Template for English paper piecing Print page twice for one block Template for cutting fabric with 5mm seam allowance

I have my first big quilt finish of the year to share with you today - it's my Gypsy Wife quilt. I started this as part of the quilt-along hosted by @GnomeAngel back in the summer and decided to go totally scrappy for the blocks and low volume for the background.This was the recipe I had used for my Long Time Gone quilt and I love it. After a few blocks, I decided I didn't like it this time. We had to take Mia into A&E one Sunday (nothing serious) and while we sat in the waiting room, she played on her tablet, and I coloured in a print-out of the quilt - can't go wrong with a rainbow. And I started again. Of course, I was well behind, and I stayed that way unfortunately. Even in the week after Christmas, I still believed I could make it - a finished quilt top by the 2nd January. I spent a few hours cutting all the background strips (what a job... not just the cutting, but keeping them organised)! But I had to give in. There was just too much to do and definitely not enough time. So the 2nd January passed. I still had some blocks to make and the construction of the quilt itself looked like quite the task. It was my birthday at the end of January, and for the first time in my life, I treated myself by taking a couple of days off work. Two whole days to sew - uninterrupted! Which was exactly what I needed to get this quilt done. I managed to get all the blocks pieced and a couple of the sections together ahead of my two golden days. But let me tell you, this quilt, and the construction part in particular, is not for beginners. It really stretched me - working out what seam to sew next, knowing I had some partial seams, and just making sure my layout was spot on. It was so much more fun than boring sashing! By the end of day 1 I had a finished quilt top, and that evening, at our local quilt group, I got it basted. The next day I set up the machine to free motion quilt and 3 hours later it was done. I quilted it with an all-over free motion stipple with cream thread on the front and pale green on the back. The backing is a duvet cover from Dunelm and I love the large scale of it. I pulled all the dark greys from my stash and cut myself a scrappy binding and by 3pm the quilt was finished! How very efficient! My birthday quilt! With the exception of the wadding, every piece of fabric in this quilt came from my stash. I made a vow this year to try fussy cutting, and I'm pretty pleased with the odd piece I included - I especially love the telephone. I also love that my quilt has "pissed" on it! Wonder how long it will take my mum to notice that! It's just such a happy, rainbowy quilt! I'm sad I couldn't get it done in time for the end of the quilt along, but I had a ball putting it together in peace and on my birthday! This is a finish from my Finish Along list, which you can find here.
