After a couple of weeks of being able to do nothing but hexies I desperately wanted to start a new quilt. I do have a large number of quilts to finish but I just had to do something new to blow ou…
My Colorado QOV group does different blocks every so often and we share them between all the Quilt of Valor Groups here in Colorado - Our last block drive ended up with enough blocks for 4 different groups to make a Quilt ( or two) ! It was great! And it helps keep our groups awards moving right along! So the next block we are working on is a Double 4 patch! : We are doing reds and blues in the place of the Blues shown and scrappy Creams and whites Here are a couple of sample layouts of the quilts we can make: These blocks are so great for a Leader/Ender project! And In the instructions - I even show you how to use 5 inch squares as an option! Interested in joining in? Here is the link to the pattern instructions: Double Four Patch pattern We are doing this as our April, May and June Block with hopefully all of them appearing in my mail box by then ;-)
I promised I would show you what I made with the leftovers from my Bow Tie Quilt... Well, I actually made TWO quilts. But today I am sharing just one of them (don't worry I'll share the second one soon). The first quilt from the leftovers was a scrappy 9-Patch and Snowball quilt! Two blocks, in my opinion, where you never can go wrong! In fact, this combination of blocks creates a classic pattern you've probably seen before. They make a fun secondary pattern together, too! This is a great pattern to help you use up scraps! I used 4" (cut) squares for the 9-Patch squares and the bright Snowball corners. The large, white Snowball squares were cut at 11". But really, with some simple math, you could adjust this pattern to work with any size squares! I just so happened to have 4" squares left over from my Bow Tie quilt. I mocked up this version in EQ7 to show you the entire layout. I did a 5 x 7 block layout to keep the symmetry, but with that came a slightly long, skinny quilt. Mine finished at 52" x 73". Normally I think a good proportion is about a 12" - 15" difference. If you aren't a fan of the long, skinny look, another option would be to make it square. I personally am perfectly fine with square quilts, but I know some people aren't. And since I was making this just for fun (and was planning on selling it), I decided to keep it rectangular. I found a pink Riley Blake floral for the back and a turquoise gingham for the binding. I didn't show many pictures of this quilt on Instagram because unfortunately there was an issue with the long-arm quilting. You probably can't tell from these photos since I tried to hide the parts that were really bad, although now I'm wishing I would've taken some pictures of those parts to show you! But basically, I used a new-to-me long-arm quilting company and I think this was the first time they used this orange peel design and they had a hard time lining up the design. There was a lot of overlapping and such. I felt bad (and I know they felt really bad) but these things happen sometimes. Fortunately, they made it right in the end, which I appreciated. I ended up selling the quilt (with a huge discount) to a photographer wanting to use it as a photo prop. And obviously, I told her ahead of time what the situation was. Overall, I still think this quilt turned out cute. After washing and drying it, the owner may not notice all the imperfections in the quilting. I love the fabrics and the design, and orange peel quilting is always a favorite of mine! Maybe I'll make another one someday. I definitely have lots of squares that need to be put to good use. Have you ever had a long-arm quilting "mishap"? I am thinking about putting together a blog post with some advice to long-arm quilters from their customers. Over the 20 years that I've been quilting, I've had hundreds of quilts long-arm quilted and I've learned a lot. I've dealt with a few mishaps along the way and have definitely seen a difference in how different long-armers handle them. Some of them handle it wonderfully and some of them don't. I wish they all had a policy in place for how they will handle mistakes, because they are bound to happen once in a while. Please share your "mishap" stories or the advice you wish you could give your long-arm quilter below. Thanks for stopping by!

Earlier in October I posted a QOV top that I had completed at retreat. The blocks were mostly leader/enders that were already made. Here the top is shown horizontally on my design wall. This is a super easy project, a great scrap buster, suitable for all skill levels, and it's a great throw size, 60" x 84". I promised a tutorial, so here it is. Scrappy Nine-Patch Stars Tutorial copyright 2017 Jan Ochterbeck Nine-Patch Stars QOV, 60" x 84" Materials: Use as much variety as possible. If using scraps, pieces must be large enough to cut 7” squares. · Assorted dark prints: reds, blues, tans, etc., about 3 yards total. · Assorted light neutral prints, about 3-1/2 yards total. · 5-1/4 yards backing fabric · 3/4 yard binding fabric Cutting: · Cut the following from assorted Light prints: o 35 7” squares o 16 6-1/2” squares o 224 2-1/2” squares (or 14 WOF strips) · Cut the following from assorted Red prints: o 16 7” squares · Cut the following from assorted Blue Prints: o 19 7” squares · From assorted dark prints (reds, blues, tans, etc.) cut the following: o 262 2-1/2” squares (or 17 WOF strips) Make blocks: · Half Square Triangles: Make 16 assorted red HSTs and make 19 blue HSTs o Mark each 7” light square on the diagonal on the wrong side o With a light and a dark 7” square right sides together, stitch 1/4” on each side of the diagonal line o Cut apart on the diagonal line and press seams open o Square up and trim to 6-1/2” · Nine-patch blocks: Make blocks as scrappy as possible. Note: strip piecing will speed up the process; sub-cut strips into 2-1/2” units. o Make 46 nine-patch blocks with dark corners o Make 8 nine-patch blocks with light corners Assembly: · Lay out blocks and plain light squares in rows following the diagram below. · Note that the light-corner nine-patch blocks are used only within the stars, alternating with dark-corner nine-patch blocks. All other nine-patch blocks used elsewhere have dark corners. · Sew blocks into rows; press seams in odd-numbered rows to the left and even-numbered rows to the right. · Sew rows together. Row Assembly Diagram Finishing: · Piece backing to 70” x 94” · Layer, baste, and quilt as desired. · Cut 8 WOF binding strips 2-1/2” wide; join lengthwise and bind using your preferred method. This easy layout of simple nine-patch and HST components would make a great throw in any colorway, not just for QOV. Does someone on your list need a quilty gift this holiday season?

Because it's Fall - or late-summer and will it ever really be fall here in Dallas? - we're enjoying anything that makes us think of the season. These are Tammy's Blockhead Blocks No. 1 through 28. She's using a big mix of scraps and pieces in fall colors. As an Indiana girl, she knows of such things. Juneau! Alaska. Is there a fall season in Juneau? (Enquiring minds want to know.)

Here is another Star Fling quilt, pattern by Atkinson Designs, that was made by our guild and this time they used Kansas Troubles fabrics. The other Star Fling quilt they made was pieced using bright coloured fabrics and had a totally different look. You can see that one here. This quilt is going to be donated to the Respite Room at the Personal Care Home in Flin Flon. The panto used on this one is called Wildflower and looks nice with all the tiny floral prints in the fabrics. I used a light brown So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

The pattern has ALL the sizes and Directions, so follow in the pattern for that (you get it here) In order to avoid flipping a triangle around the wrong way, lay the block out next to the machine as you sew Sew one side Press, this is important. If you don't press, you block is not flat so you create issues when you sew on the next triangle. Did you ever sew on that next triangle and find you were not on the straight and...

Quilt market prep is in full swing over here but I’m taking a little break to release a new pattern. It’s called Chatterbox and was made using Momo’s new collection, Flying Colors. The Chatterbox quilt can be made using a Moda Layer Cake (or Jelly Roll + 1 FQ combo) and is easy and quick to piece. I haven’t had a second to make up a sample yet, so digital images it is. The pattern is in my shop and is available in PDF or paper. I’m a little sad I haven’t been able to make this quilt up yet so I’m thinking I should offer up a special prize for those of you who can beat me to it. So here’s what I’m thinking: THE PRIZE: 1 person will win a USPS medium flat rate box stuffed full of surprise scraps from my new line that is being revealed next month at quilt market. It is literally a box full of sunshine. I may also throw in advanced copies of the new patterns from the group… HOW TO ENTER: Make a Chatterbox quilt! Or at least get started. Post a picture of your progress in Instagram and tag me (@lellaboutique) and make sure to use the hashtag #CHATTERBOXSEWALONG (NOTE: If your IG account is private, send me a DM with a screen shot.) DEADLINE: Well, I don’t think I’ll get around to making my quilt for a few more weeks but I think I can have it done right before quilt market. So let’s say October 20th. If you can post a picture of your progress before October 20th, I’ll look through the hashtag #CHATTERBOXSEWALONG and randomly select a winner.
