This item is a DOWNLOADABLE pattern for an adorable Baby Bear Quilt (finished size - 48" x 56") with two options. Choose the Scrappy Bear and use a variety of fabrics in two color groups OR the simpler Two Fabric Bear. Both use a third color for background and inner border, and another fabric for the outer border. I choose a cute bear fabric for the outer border, but any medium scale juvenile print would work well. I've added a second downloadable file with info about piecing your scrappy bear in more than 3 fabrics - great for using up scraps.
Nesting seams is a great way to keep your seam allowance flat in quilt blocks.

#ModaSamplerShuffleBlocks April 2, 2016 C'est finit! Front and back are all finished, and it will hang in the shop. I balanced the traditional sampler front with a modern back! And the yellow binding wraps it all together. ps - the back sky fabric has glow in the dark constellations! February 14 The border is finished. all that is left now is the backing, batting, quilting and binding. January 12, 2016 The blocks are nearly finished: once I finish 'shuffling' them around I will add the final 11 sashes and corner blocks. I'm working on the flying geese border in the meantime, adding corner stone block colors of Moda Marble Swirl fabric as the geese, and using Ricky Tim's 'one seam pattern' for those border blocks. All thirty blocks, with almost all sashings and the beginnings of the flying geese border. This is week 10 and the final three free Moda Sampler Block patterns are posted! Because we may not be here to post on New Year's day, we're posting that set of blocks earlier than scheduled. (No block release was scheduled for Christmas weekend.) I'm sure you'd rather receive this posting early rather than late. Mea culpa. The final three blocks will be posted as scheduled, on January 8th. December 26 and January 2: Blocks 25,26,27 December 19: Blocks 22,23,24 Clearly, I made one too many blocks tonight. This will definitely be a do-over! December 12: Blocks 19,20,21 Block 19 was challenging, and the video tutorial was helpful, particularly for the cat's cradle blocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ6ChJp160g I struggled to fit these Block #20 pieces together ... I tried smaller seams, wider seams ... I cut to size and then trimmed some more ... watched the video and took the quilter's belated advice NOT to iron the little blocks but just 'moosh' them (my words) into place~ Message to self - watch the WHOLE video first! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ6ChJp160g Love this block ... lightning in the sky, or a Charlie Brown sweater? Remember that you are sewing in two different directions. December 11th: three special postings from Moda Moda has offered these tips, which I have had on paper in the shop for customers. I was unable to post them for blog customers as a PDF file; another shop owner sent me the Jpeg images. The first two are tips for EASY CORNER TRIANGLES and flying geese units, and the third is a four-page document for a suggested finished quilt using the Moda Sampler Blocks. December 4, 2015 Remember that fusible interfacing for this applique is on sale at Quilters' Quarters this month ... AND comes with a free fusible Christmas image for each 1/4 yd of fusible purchased. November 27, 2015 November 20, 2015 Blocks 10, 11 and 12 November 13, 2015 Here are blocks 7,8 and 9; the samples that can be seen in the shop: November 6, 2015 Here is the second set of three Moda Sampler Blocks: Ummm I think I'll do this again with just green in the center... And here's a wonderful addition to the Quilters' Quarters collection of fabrics: small pieces for small prices~ Quilters' Quarters has a selection of pre-cuts to help Quilters design their sampler blocks. Lots of color with little prices! "Sweet Sixteenths" are half the size of a "Chub", measuring just 9" x 10.5", and priced at only 75 cents! Great choice for small quilt blocks, and applique's! Chubs are 1/8 yd pre-cuts measuring 9" x 22" priced at $1.50 "Pops" are single layers of a 10" X 10" layer cake bundle ... these are fromQuilting Treasures' beautiful Mimosa fabric. We have more! Bolts, too!These sell for 99 cents each! What would a quilt shop be without an "OOPS" pile of remnants ... less than 9"x10" but close These are priced to go ... 25 cents each! Great choice for applique's, too! October 30, 2015 Welcome to our brand new project page! Quilters' Quarters is proud to offer Moda Fabric in the shop, and to celebrate our new participating-shop status, we will be posting new blocks designed by the folks at Moda Fabrics for you. Moda's Marble Swirl Line 2015 Each week, (that's WEEK, not month) Moda will supply shops with PDFs of the block design and pattern. They will also send 'Tip Sheets' that will help quilters with the blocks designed. I will post the new blocks each Saturday by Noon here at the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle page of our Quilters' Quarters blog. I'll also post a reminder on our Facebook Page that the new "BOW" (Block of the Week) patterns are ready and waiting for you at this page. The goal is that I will get into the habit of checking Moda's page each week, and posting the patterns that will invite you to get into the habit of checking Quilters' Quarters each week! Do I know that this is November? And that this month and next will surely see a full project schedule on most quilters' calendars? I do ... and so does Moda. But these patterns and the fabrics for making them can be collected week by week, and perhaps set aside with an intent to use them to fill time during the indoor weather ahead. Moda also suggests that they might, in themselves, be seen as a special gift package for a quilting friend! Moda Fabric will be giving Quilters' Quarters and the other participating shops tips on how to make beautiful fabrics more accessible and affordable for you, the customers. Most quilters have become accustomed to adding variety to their 'stash' of fabric by purchasing 'fat quarters' in our shop; we will now be adding even smaller increments and making them available as "chubs" and "pops" as well as other sizes that you and I will enjoy finding in our shop. There will also be a 'finishing' set of instructions given toward the end of the project timeline. Recommended fabric usage is two jelly rolls or two layer cake bundles of your favorite choices, and some of the smaller fabric pieces to add a little bit of extra, individualized style to your blocks. Here is the first set of block patterns ... and the tips that will make completing the blocks easier. There will be 2 or 3 individual block patterns posted each week from November 4, 2015 through early January, 2016. You'll be able to copy and print them from this page. I will also have paper copies in the shop for those folks who may not be able to print them at home. They may remain on this page for only two weeks, so I encourage to check the blog each weekend to copy and print the current block patterns while they are here. I thought you could right-click the pattern and select print, but when I did that, it printed the ENTIRE blog page, which is several paper pages long! Better to copy and save the image to a word document (as a jpeg image) and then manipulate it for size and THEN print it out. Or, you can stop into the shop to pick up a paper copy of each Moda Sample Block. The patterns are printed in gray-scale to encourage you to design your own blocks choosing your own preference for colors or prints. Create~ I will also have paper copies of tips from Moda on how best to finesse your techniques while completing these blocks. There will be thirty blocks in all, and a set of directions at the end of the setting of the thirty blocks, and the finishing of the quilt. Looking forward to seeing you in the shop! If you haven't yet signed up for newsletters from this blog, see the open window near the top of the right hand margin, enter your email address, and you'll receive our semi-monthly newsletters with special offers and updates about new fabrics in the shop. Happy quilting!
Hi Everyone, Here is the first of the blocks for our big push to get finished with our quilt this month. I Was literally buried under fabric last month and unable to get even 5 minutes to get these tutorials done. I have had the blocks finished the video filmed since the middle of August. Speaking of Video. I am not posting it with this block. This is a super easy block and I am pretty certain you can do this one without the video. I do have video for it and it will be posted with the next post. The video incorporates all of the last 4 blocks. If you are using the Cricut Maker to cut your blocks you can find the cut files for this block here.

And the Top right to the bottom left on the right side. 3. Place background 3 ½” square on the right side of the body 3 ½” by 5 1/2” rectangle as shown.

An Ingenious Solution for Slightly Undersized Blocks! In an ideal world every quilt block will turn out perfectly square and of the exact size. However, when blocks don’t turn out perfectly, the next step is to square them up. Often a block is slightly too large, in which case you can usually trim it to …

The super easy Roman Stripe quilt block can be used by itself or as a component of lots of other blocks. I’ve always called it a Rail Fence block, but I guess the name “Rail Fence” is for blocks that have more than 3 stripes in them – so I guess my fence only has 3 rails in it – lol!

It's the first day of summer and here in Arizona and it is HOT, HOT, HOT! It's definitely time to hole up in my studio and make new things until cooler weather is with us again. This year I got back from my latest trip and started studio clean up. Usually that process begins with putting away my scraps from recent projects, but this time I was confronted with this image. What a wreck! Not only can I not find anything in my scrap drawers, but I also can't fit any more in those drawers. As yo
