It’s no secret that Carl and I are huge (and I mean humongous) Kaffe Fassett Collective fabric fans….so last year when Free Spirit Fabrics asked us to design quilt patterns for some of …
Am Anfang ist immer eine Idee oder eine Person der man was aus Dankbarkeit schenken möchte oder eine Kombination aus beidem... Bei diesem Quilt war es die Dankbarkeit für die Hilfbereitschaft meines Schwiegerpapa's. Ohne ihn würden unser Auto und auch meine Maschinen in meiner Buchbinderei nicht mehr funktionieren. Daher war es eigentlich schon lange an der Zeit für ihn einen Quilt zu nähen. Die Farben waren schnell klar. Blau und Grün... Das passt auch zu dem Quilt, den die Schwiegermama schon einige Jahre zuvor bekommen hat. Die frischen Farben aus der Blueberry Park Serie von Karen Lewis fand ich sehr passend, auch wenn auf einzelnen Stoffe weisse Blumen drauf sind. Die Schwiegermama liebt Blumen und hat auch überall in der Wohnung immer frische Blumen stehen. Daher finde ich geht dies auch für einen Männer-Quilt... In diesem Fall jedenfalls... *zwinker* Mit Hilfe des Super Side Kick Rulers von Jaybird Quilts habe ich Dreiecke zugeschnitten und nach dem Muster des Boomerang-Quilts zusammengenäht. Ich habe das Muster etwas abgeändert und noch weisse Streifen zwischen die einzelnen Rauten plaziert, damit der Quilt es luftiger wird als die Vorlage... An meiner Design-Wand habe ich alle Dreiecke aufgehängt und mal ein Foto gemacht. Das Foto hilft mir zu sehen, ob irgendwo ein Block oder in diesem Fall eine Raute umplaziert werden muss oder ob es stimmig ist... Bei zusammen nähen habe ich dann bemerkt, dass der Quilt, so wie ich ihn auf dem oberen Bild zusammengestellt hatte, zu breit wurde. So habe ich dann noch ein paar Rauten weggelassen... Mit Hilfe einer Plexiglasplatte hatte ich mir verschiedene Quiltmuster aufgezeichnet und wieder verworfen. Dies war dann das Muster, von dem ich dachte, das wäre es jetzt... Doch nachdem ich zwei Rauten gequiltet hatte, fand ich es gar nicht toll. Es war iritierend, da das Muster auf dem Stoff der Raute folgte und ich dies mit diesen Linie durchbrach. Das war mir zu unruhig und daher trennte ich alles wieder auf... Die Blasenkette rund um die Rauten durfte bleiben, doch innerhalb der Raute musste es ruhiger werden und daher quiltete ich bloss noch gerade Linien im Abstand von 1 inch... Hier hat sich wieder mal gezeigt, weniger ist mehr... Und damit ihr auch mal ein bewegtes Bild von mir seht, habe ich mich bei der letzten Reihe mit dem Zeitraffer gefilmt *lach* Viel Spass bei schauen...! Die letzte Reihe komplett gequiltet... Ich hoffe, ich konnte euch einen kleinen Einblick geben, wie bei mir ein Quilt entsteht... Bilder des fixfertigen Quilts werden in einem weiteren Post folgen... Bis dahin, machts gut iva verlinkt: creadienstag , modern patch monday & handmade on tuesday

The folded log cabin blocks are now complete and ready for sashing and borders. Here are the instructions to make a courthouse steps block with this technique. The fabric requirements are: muslin for block foundation; fabric for square centers; and, six fabrics for rows. I cut an 8" square for each block from the muslin. From each of the striped fabrics cut a 2" x WOF strip. An additional strip is needed for the outer fifth and sixth fabrics. Press each strip in half. Cut a 2 1/2" square from the center fabric. Cut 4 - 2 1/2" strips from the first row fabric. Place the center square into the center of the muslin foundation. Lay one 2 1/2" strip on the center square with raw edges matching outer square edge, folded side in. Sew 1/2" inside the folded edge. I used the left edge of my presser foot as my seam guide. Lay a second 2 1/2" strip on the opposite side, matching up the edge as previously described. Sew. Add the third and fourth 2 1/2" strips on the remaining opposite sides. Square should still measure 2 1/2." The remaining rows are sewn as follows: lay the assigned strip 3/8" from the edge of the previous row's folded edge. I recommend using a 1"x6" ruler for measuring. Each strip needs to be measured as you go around the square. When sewing, begin with a 1/4" tail. When seam is complete, cut the strip 1/4" beyond the square edge. Do not sew down the extra 1/4" of fabric. This is what each strip will look like as sewn on. Continue sewing strips around, remembering to measure each strip and sew 1/2" from the folded edge. Each seam should be catching about 1/8" of the previous row's edge. This is the 3rd row completed, and the 4th, the 5th, and the 6th. I'll trim up and join the blocks next time. Until next time,

Experiment with patchwork and quilting, or dress it up with a fancy fabric - the possibilities really are endless. A matching men’s pattern is available here.

The waistcoat also has a layer of wadding sandwiched between the outer and inner fabric. The designer recommends natural cotton or bamboo wadding for this.
