The Road Trip Redux Quilt pattern is a fun and versatile pattern for confident beginners and expert quilters alike. This pattern gives you fabric requirements and step by step instructions to help you create a beautiful modern quilt of your own in either a 48 x 48" small lap/crib size or 72 x 72" generous lap/picnic size! Complete with detailed color graphics, helpful charts and a printable coloring/planning sheet, this pattern makes it easy for you to design and create your own unique version of this modern quilt. I invite you to gather your favorite solids, prints or a combination of both, and have a go! *Last two versions shown in the listing are demonstrating different but similar layout options and would require the maker to figure revised fabric requirements.

I’m so in LOVE with this quilt. Perfect for my half-square triangle class and value class coming up in a couple weeks. One of my favorite quilts E-V-E-R for sure. Maybe a hair behind Split Decision. I did remove some of my first quilting and went with horizontal lines at 1.25″ apart. It really allows the...Read More »
Finishing this quilt was number 1 on my crafting to-do list for 2019, and I had a lot of fun making it. The blocks from my hivemates were all beautiful, and I made a few more to make this quilt the size I wanted. I'm participating in Stashbee again this year, and I'm having fun working on my bee blocks. I'm not Queen until November, so I have time to think up another block for my 2019 Stashbee quilt. I quilted it in straight lines about 1/2" apart, and bound it with a bright teal. I'm very happy with how my "Improv Spinners and Hourglasses" (I couldn't think of a better name) quilt turned out. I'm smiling behind the quilt. :)

I finished my Legos top and love how it turned out. This is Ellis Island: While I sewed, I realized I was making a quilter's Ellis Island. (Ellis Island was the port of entry into the United States way back before airplanes). You know, send me your tired, your poor, your wretched refuse - all those unwanted (fabrics). The name's a bit formal for this loud fun quilt, but still appropriate. There really are some uuugly fabrics in here... I ended up going smaller than king-sized - this is 70x80. With all these shedding cats, any quilt on our bed will have to be washed and I'd like it to be easy to do. Plus, I was really inspired by a photo of Mary's bed with multiple quilts on it. Perfect since my husband and I completely disagree about how much warmth we need to sleep. So sorry that these fabrics from Barb didn't arrive in time, but they will get into another lego quilt! some of these are sooo not ugly. love love the "hello" fabric in all sorts of different languages. Not that we need warmth that often in Florida. But we'll be moving to Maryland next spring and I know they get winter "up in America" as my husband calls it. We've done some househunting and fingers crossed will get a house we love. Anyone here a member of the Columbia Faithful Circle Quilting Guild? I think that will be the nearest guild. Back to the legos. These blocks are sooo much fun to make and so addictive. Seriously fun. Here are some fun one that others have worked on (sorry if I missed anybody - just let me know!): Chawne's Compost Quilt top Julies Dumpster Diving Siobhan's Pensieve Quilt top Diane's Chinese Coins in progress Clare's ongoing monster (don't we all need Doctor Who!) Sara's legos with One-Patches top. The borders are great too. Joe Tulips legos with Flying Geese. she got distracted by zombies though... (well worth it!) Lynley's not quite legos top Kim's I-Spyish lego blocks This is how I approached making the Legos quilt. Sara came up with a different method, just sewing a biiiig long strip amd cutting it in two and joining those lengthwise etc. I have to get a blogpost done so I'm going to sign off now... See you all hopefully sooner than the last time! By the way, you can follow this blog by email (there's a doohicky over in the sidebar) so you'll know when I finally post again! That is, if you're not using a reader (which I highly recommend if you follow more than a couple of blogs). Lily says, time for a nap!

I've been thinking about making another circle quilt for some time, but wanted to do something a little different. Usually I make Drunkard Path blocks using print scraps, but not this time! Solids and half circles came to mind so I set about and started my plan. Which in reality wasn't much of a plan at all! I sometimes have to start a new idea with a test project. Just in case I can't pull it off as I see it in my mind. In this case I was drawn to half circles. Rectangle half circles to be exact. I figured out the math which is always the tricky part for me. Latifah Saafir and her Glam Clam ruler came in very handy to make the perfect half circles. I grabbed my 8" Glam Clam, an assortment of solids and with my fingers crossed...I hoped it would all come together. I followed the instructions included with the ruler and cut rectangles for the circles and then cut the circle itself. The outside of the circle was slightly more involved. As I said I wanted the finished block to be a rectangle with the circle towards the bottom. By more involved, I mean I had to add an extra two inches to achieve that. By marking a two inch line with my hera marker, I was able to make sure all the circles were positioned in the same place. I think the hardest part or maybe I should say the most scary part was aligning the seams so that it made a perfect circle. I carefully pinned each seam and for the most part it worked. The blocks remind me of beach balls! After making four blocks and feeling pretty good about my capabilities, I had to come up with a plan for them. They weren't quite large enough on their own for a decent size table runner length wise, so I made one more. Five blocks worked much better for the length, but it wasn't wide enough for my liking. I certainly didn't want the blocks to gather moss by setting them aside, so I came up with the idea of adding a row of squares along one side. Right now I have it pinned and ready to quilt. Before that can happen I needed to start the project that I really had in mind for the half circles. Using the 12" Glam Clam ruler borrowed from a friend, I grabbed my Painter's Palette March Madness bundle and went to town cutting! Sometimes I plan everything from start to finish, sometimes I don't and sometimes I have to roll with the punches and make a few changes. I wanted the finished quilt to be a decent size and that wasn't going to happen if I only used this bundle from Paintbrush Studio, which was the plan. No worries! It wasn't like I didn't have plenty of other fabric to choose from! The first two 12" half circles I pinned before sewing thinking I'd have better control over all. That didn't last! I tried one without pinning and it was much faster and...easier! And, in order to have perfect, perfect, perfect seams, I glued the seams together before sewing the two half pieces together. Gotta love glue! Fun little tricks! I'm in the process of sewing all the blocks together with the final layout is to be determined! And I can't wait!

I was trying to do some reorganizing in my sewing room a few weeks ago and in the process I found some fabrics in my stash that I thought would make beautiful Lucy Boston blocks... These were Jo Morton fabrics. All the honeycombs for the center of the block came from the same gorgeous stripe. The red corners came from a separate Jo Morton fabric. When I was looking through my Jo Morton stash, I was amazed how many beautiful fabrics I have in my stash! Another block... the fabric used for the center honeycombs was given to me by someone who thought it would make a great Lucy block. I think they were right! These fabrics were left over from the very first Lucy Boston block we featured on this blog. The fabric, designed by Judy Rothermel, continues to be one of my favorites. I didn't want to leave any unused scraps of these gorgeous fabrics in my stash! This is a block in progress. When I was looking through my collection of finished blocks, I decided I wanted a little more purple and green in my blocks. Unfortunately, my sewing room reorganization came to a halt once I found the fabrics and sat down to make the blocks! I'm so excited about all my blocks. I have a sizable number now and am beginning to visualize a finished quilt - it's getting there! How are you coming with your blocks? Are you using fabrics from your stash? Send me pictures of stash blocks and I'll post them on our Pinterest Board. Need more paper piecing supplies? Order from our website. Don't forget we have the finishing papers for completing the outside edge. They are odd sized pieces and you'll be happy to have the papers! They're also available on our website here.
