This trumpet quilt block was designed as part of a series of musical instrument quilt block patterns. It is sewn together through traditional piecing methods. The instant downloadable pdf quilt pattern provides you with detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and dimensions to make the pattern in four sizes (4.5" x 13.5", 6" x 18", 9" x 27", 12" x 36"). This variety of sizes will help you tailor the pattern to your specific needs, whether it be making a wall hanging, pillow, bag, baby quilt, or full-sized quilt. The smallest size has some very small pieces in it. Quilting experience is expected. Also included in this pdf are three quilt layouts with fabric requirements and coloring pages of the quilt block and sample quilt layouts to assist in color scheme planning. This pattern is also included in my Music Quilts Pattern Pack: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1204859434/music-quilt-pattern-pack-pdf?click_key=0b747d3edc8ebd11a563d8abddf1105259ee75f9%3A1204859434&click_sum=1c55b2f6&ref=shop_home_recs_42&sts=1

Welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday being hosted here again on the East Coast of Canada. If you've been following me on Instagram these past few months, you would have seen the beginnings of these two quilts. I was commissioned to make quilts for two adorable little girls in South Africa. It was difficult to find just the right quilt pattern, but I finally found a photo over at Patchwork and Play. So I sent an e-mail to find out more information, and Susan kindly provided me with some information on the quilt she designed. Here is the purple quilt. I ♥ these quilts. Star and loop free motion quilting in purple variegated thread. Because the girls are twin sisters, I put a green star (and small piece of green binding) in the purple quilt. And here is the green quilt -- with a small purple star and piece of purple binding. More star and loop free motion quilting with green variegated thread. The quilts arrived in South Africa today. I was holding breath hoping that they would love the quilts. The quilts finish at 72 x 84 inches (12-inch blocks with a 6 x 7 block layout). I under-estimated how much time it would take to cut the fabric and piece all the stars. I cut it very close to my deadline. But I had a lot of fun making these quilts, and I hope the girls will use them for many years to come. Someday, I hope the meet the girls in person, but until then, I will watch them grow up through Instagram. Now it's time for you to link up your finishes.

How to Quilt Orange Peel Blocks We are so excited to be able to share quilting ideas for each of the skill builder blocks all year long. One of the most common questions I get asked is “how should I quilt this?” My hope, is that by the end of the year, you’ll have a bunch of ideas and different ways to look at and approach an array of different quilts blocks that you can mix and match and use on different projects. This week, we are looking at orange peels. Whether appliqued or pieced, you can approach the quilting of orange peels in the same way, so these designs will work on either type of block. Quilting Plan 1 In this quilting plan, I first echoed the orange peels going from point to point. By doing it this way, it provides a very easy stitch path between sections. I show you 4 different fill options, but would likely only pick one or two to alternate. I wouldn’t do a different design in each section. That complicates things more than is necessary. For the background, I kept is simple with an easy border and stipple fill. Quilting Plan 2 In this quilting plan, I didn’t worry about echoing the orange peels and just used the fill. These loops are a very simple way to fill a shape. They are one of the easiest free motion quilting motifs to learn as they are simply cursive Ls and a design most of us are very familiar with. When you are used to drawing out a design on paper, it makes it much simpler to translate to quilting. For the background, I opted to echo the leaves of the shape. You could easily use a walking foot to get evenly spaces lines and move between them along the edge of the square. Quilting Plan 3 This quilting plan is similar to the first with a small change. I didn’t go all the way to the corner. While this makes it harder to move between spaces and usually requires breaking thread, it has the benefit of avoiding the center point. If you are piecing the orange peels, you could end up with lots of bulk in that center seam that is hard to sew over and this avoids that area entirely. I’m still treating the gray and yellow areas as one shape so it really become a background element with the orange peels being the foreground element. Quilting Plan 4 Feathers are a very versatile option when filling shapes. They can easily be adjusted to be almost any size. You could swap these for any type of feather you prefer. Horizontal lines in the background draw your eye to the main element of the orange peels. Quilting Plan 5 This last design follows the flow of the orange peels but doesn’t stay completely inside the shape. This type of plan adds movement and texture to the quilt. Simply follow the outside edge of the orange peels and then echo to create additional circles. Repeat and overlap around the block. Whole Quilt 1 This shows how the concentric circles would look all over the quilt top. To avoid breaking thread between circles, I would use the seams and sashing to move in between sections. Go slow and stitch right in the ditch to hide your thread and you’ll never see them. Whole Quilt 2 This plan shows how I would start to look at and break down the negative space between the blocks. To avoid trying to fill in all the background as one, I look for shapes that I can create to break up the space and make smaller areas to quilt. In this plan, I chose to block out squares to match the squares behind the orange peels and quilted them the same way. I chose one of the first designs of echoing and filling in the orange peels themselves. This is a simple plan that is easy to create but has a lot of impact. If you want to sketch along with us or create your own designs, save the images below to print out a blank version of the block and quilt. Print a few copies and see what you can come up with!

The Winter Solstice pattern uses log cabin blocks to create a mirrored mountain range that is the sister pattern to Summer Solstice.  This intermediate or advanced beginner pattern comes together faster than you’d expect and isn’t too challenging as long as you handle the bias edges carefully. Choose from multiple sizes. Included Sizes: Baby - 38" x 50" Baby (Expansion) - 41" x 52" Throw - 56" x 68" Throw (Expansion) - 59" x 75" Queen - 83" x 101" Queen (Expansion) - 88" x 108"

Let's take a look at how to sew the All Hallows quilt block. This traditional star block makes a beautiful secondary Pinwheel design when multiple blocks are sewn together. It uses only Half Square Triangles, Square in a Square and Flying Geese units to construct but there are a lot of points to match up!

The sails in this block from my Sailing School pattern are made from HRT units Here, as promised, is my tutorial about making half-rectangle triangle units (HRT) without specialty rulers. This method does involve a bit of fabric waste as the units are made a little over-sized, then trimmed down. I think the little bit of trimming waste in exchange for ease and accuracy is worth it. Traditionally, the HRT is twice as tall as it is wide, so those are the dimensions I worked with. Here goes! Step 1: Determine the desired finished size of the unit. (Remember that the finished size is the size in the finished project, after the seam allowance is taken up by sewing the unit into the project.) Step 2: You will need two rectangles of fabric. To determine the width of the cut rectangles: For the cut width, add 1 1/4" to the desired finished width. The cut height will be double the cut width. Step 2: Cut two rectangles Step 3: Mark a diagonal line on one of the rectangles. Careful! The direction of the line matters. For a left-leaning seam on the finished unit (from upper left corner to lower right corner), draw the line from the top right corner to the lower left corner. For a right-leaning seam on the finished unit (lower left corner to upper right corner), draw the line from the top left corner to lower right corner. Step 4: (optional ) You will actually stitch 1/4" away from the marked line in Step 7. You may wish to draw additional lines now, 1/4" on each side of the diagonal, to mark where to stitch. If you have an accurate 1/4" presser foot as a guide you can skip this part. Steps 3 and 4: Mark one rectangle Step 5: Place the marked rectangle on top of the second rectangle, right sides together. So far this looks very much like the technique used to make HST. However, if you now simply sew 1/4" on each side of the diagonal, you will end up with a kite shape rather than a rectangle shape. Step 5: Layer rectangles right sides together Not how you want it to turn out. Move on to step 6. Step 6: Rotate the marked rectangle: to the left (counterclockwise) for a left-leaning finished unit, so that the upper right corner shifts to touch the upper left of the bottom rectangle, and the lower left corner shifts to touch the lower right corner of the bottom rectangle. to the right (clockwise) for a right leaning finished unit, so that the upper left corner shifts to touch the upper right of the bottom rectangle, and the lower right corner shifts to touch the lower left corner of the bottom rectangle. Step 6: Rotate marked rectangle To check that you have rotated in the correct direction, fold the top rectangle along the marked diagonal, and see if the result is approximately the HRT you plan to make. Check orientation Step 7: Sew 1/4" on either side of the marked line, then cut on the marked line. Step 7: Sew then cut into two units Step 8: Press seams to one side or open, as you prefer. You now have two rough units ready for trimming perfectly to size. Step 8: Two untrimmed HRT units Next, you'll need to trim these. The tricky part is to position that diagonal seam correctly in the trimmed unit so that points don't disappear into the seam allowance when you sew this unit into your quilt. The diagram below shows what happens when you place the seam corner to corner. The seam, shown as a dashed line, cuts off points on the short ends of the unit. What you want to avoid I've found that using a template to guide my trimming gives me the best results. PREPARE A TRIMMING TEMPLATE Step 9: Draw a rectangle exactly the same size as your desired finished unit. Step 10: Using a rotary cutter and ruler, cut out the shape 1/4" outside the drawn shape all around. Step 10: Cut out template Step 11: Draw a diagonal between two opposite corners of the drawn inside shape in the direction of the seam in your finished unit, extending the line all the way out to the edges of the cut shape. Note that this diagonal does not intersect the corners of the cut shape. Step 11: Tape the template on the underside of your quilting ruler, with the template flush with the corner of the ruler, and the drawn line visible through the ruler. Step 12: Position the template over the rough unit so that the drawn diagonal lines up with the seam in the unit. Step 12: Position the template Step 13: Use a rotary cutter to trim the unit along the side and top edges of the ruler. Step 13: Trim two edges Step 14: Rotate the unit. Position the ruler so the markings for the required unfinished size line up with the trimmed edges. Step 14: Position ruler to trim remining sides Notice that the seam will not fall exactly in the corner of the ruler. Seam will not go through corner of the ruler Step 15: Keeping the ruler in position, use a rotary cutter to trim the remaining sides of the unit. The unit is now ready to use. The area outside the black outline in the image below is the seam allowance. The area inside the black rectangle will be the finished unit as it will appear in your finished project, with the points in the corners where you want them. I hope you have found this helpful. Now go play with some half-rectangle triangle units! *************** You can use HRT in many ways. The sailboat block at the top of this post, and again below, is what made me sit down and figure out HRTs. This version is 9" square. If you'd like to make it but would prefer to skip all the math and drawing of templates, I've done the work for you in my Sailing School pattern. See more of that quilt in this post. You can purchase a PDF download of the pattern in my Etsy shop, or you can ask your favourite quilt shop to order a print copy for you. Happy quilting! Joanne
