November 29. Wednesday. Thanksgiving is over and it's time for Christmas decorating, shopping and baking to begin. WOW. I'm tired just writing the last sentence. Time flies by every week and we are again. This leads me to our Question of the Week...Have you started your Christmas preparations? NO. Baking? NO. Shopping? No. Made a gift-wish list for yourself? No. Really boring but truthful answers. Shortly after Thanksgiving I flew to Chicago for a wonderful teaching and speaking trip for the Prairie Star Quilters Guild. I am ready to decorate and bake...the older I get the less I like to shop. Shopping for the grandkids can be fun and they certainly put the magic in the season. Lots of sewing and writing to do, designing and more, to do along with Christmas prep, so the most wished for item on my gift-wish list is TIME. I wish for this every Christmas season. Time to do all the fun Christmas things and keep up with deadlines too. Big sigh, and fingers crossed. Jo has an interesting block for us this week. I made it twice. After making it the first time, I kept looking at it, even slept on it and something just wasn't clicking for me. I'm not showing it to you. I am happy, however with the second one which I will show you. Framed Star by Jo Morton Click here for Jo's blog and her pattern. My tips for making this block is starch first before cutting and Bloc_loc flying geese ruler, size 1" x 2". And, layout your parts before sewing to make sure you like the value placement. That is what I didn't like with the first block I made, the values of my chosen fabrics didn't work for me. Enjoy making Framed Star! Thanks Jo! Please visit my BlockHead friends to see what they have made. Links below. 3" mini Penny block Starch fabrics before cutting. Ok, don't shoot me...1/2" HSTs. I suggest triangle paper and Bloc_loc flying geese ruler, size 1/2" x 1". To make this without triangle paper you need, 9 - 1" light squares and 9 - 1" dark squares for the HSTs. Trim 18 HSTs to 1". Press open if you choose, mine are pressed to the dark triangle. 1- 1 1/2" square light print for the center of the star 4 - 1 1/2" squares light print cut again once diagonally for the star points 1 - 2 7/8" dark square cut again twice diagonally for the background to the star points 6 - 1" dark squares for the corners I've oversized triangles and geese units for trimming. Use a regular 1/4" seam. Trim geese units (star points) to 1" x 1 1/2" Center Star should measure 2 1/2", for a 2" finished star. Follow my block for placement of HSTs. Block should measure 3 1/2" for a 3" finished block. Hope you enjoy making this block! Don't forget to check out the Moda BlockHeads Facebook group...lots of followers are beginning to set their blocks together. Look for a setting from each of us in the coming weeks.

For her month in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Lisa provided several different floral fabrics (from the line "Peace on Earth" by Three Sisters for Moda.) She asked for pretty much any 12" block. She mentioned that one block pattern that she liked was Bear Paw as well as some other traditional blocks. The block is Brother Bear/Sister Sun from Quilter's Cache. It's almost entirely paper pieced. I was drawn to it for Lisa because the corners are from a Bear Paw block and the overall look is traditional. I also thought it would work well with the fabrics that she sent. I stuggled when it came to picking a background fabric (cream, white, off-white...) but in the end just went with plain white as it seemed safest. This block took a while because it has so many pieces but I think it was worth it.
Hello to all of you visiting the Bloggers Quilt Festival, organized by Amy of Amy's Creative Side. This time around, I am featuring my "Bird on a Wire" quilt inspired by Quilt Mania magazine. (for those of you who have seen this, please bear with me) I hand pieced some of the quilts, then appliqued them down. The rest of the quilt was machine pieced and machine quilted by me. This was my first attempt at quilting with wavy lines, and I am happy with the result. I enjoyed every minute while working on this quilt. It hangs in the nursery that I put together for my grand girls. It measure 37" square. I think this would best fit into the baby quilt category, or the wall hanging category. There is a button at the top right of the side bar. To see all the quilts, click on the button and it will take you there. Enjoy the rest of the festival, and thanks for stopping by : ) quilt stats: #105 37 x 37 hand and machine appliqué quilted by Carla baby quilt wall hanging
Hello, friends! Since I used up so much sewing time blubbering all over old photos in my last post, THIS one is going to be short and sweet. I promise. Anders' Beware the Ishmaelites Sampler Quilt, Queen Size It's time to return my attention to Beware the Ishmaelites, my adaptation of the Moda Modern Building Blocks sampler quilt from a few years back. I swapped out some of the blocks for different ones, and changed all of the Moda colors to Kona Solids that coordinate with a mod graphic wallpaper in my son's bathroom. Then I resized all of the blocks to make the Queen size Moda pattern fit a Twin bed, which necessitated some REALLY wonky block sizes that are not one bit ruler friendly... (Moda Modern Building Blocks design uses block sizes that are all multiples of 6", but mine are slightly shrunken to multiples of 5") And so I set it aside for a few years after struggling to make the first giant block without the modern advantages of rotary cutting tools. I paper pieced it, which required taping together multiple pages of newsprint, and if I had it to do over again I would have cut those giant green triangles so they had straight grain instead of bias along the outside edges of the block. Live and learn. First and Only Block Completed, MMBB Block 2 at 30 x 30 Ironically, while I was ignoring this project, my son hit a growth spurt that necessitated replacing his Twin bed with a Queen. The original Moda Modern Building Blocks pattern would fit his new bed perfectly, all with ruler-friendly block sizes. But then I would not be able to use the 30" block pictured above which I worked SO HARD on... So I slapped borders onto my Twin adaptation to make it a Queen size again, and I like my borders. Seriously -- and this is me envisioning how the quilt will look on the bed, in the room. I will be piecing the remaining blocks for this quilt using a combination of traditional template methods and foundation paper piecing, in order to deal with the weird measurements. These are the blocks that are up next: MMBB Block 1 at 30" I'm going to foundation paper piece the red and white center of that star for sure, and will probably cut the larger triangles out with tagboard templates. The rotary cutting instructions I printed out from EQ8 want me to cut a 16 3/16" square and cross cut it into QSTs, for instance. No, thank you. Not In MMBB: Replacement for Block 3 at 25" The block pictured above is not in the Moda Modern Building Blocks pattern. It's from my EQ8 software block library, and I swapped it out for MMBB Block 3. (It is SUPER convenient to have access to thousands of blocks in whatever size I want them, and to be able to print out templates/rotary cutting charts/foundation patterns for any of them with a few clicks. Seriously, even if you never use the software to design a quilt from scratch, it's totally worth the price just to be able to print out any of a gazillion quilt block patterns in any size your heart desires!) I think I'm going to try to paper piece this block, too, although I have a nagging recollection that I didn't love paper piecing for the first giant block. The large fabric pieces want to scoot around too much on the paper, but I guess I'll have to deal with it, because no way am I rotary cutting 7 7/16" squares to cross cut into QSTs. I mean, I COULD, but I already printed my foundation patterns on newsprint, and I do love how nice and precise my points come out when I paper piece... Last but not least: Also Not in MMBB: Replacement for Block 4 at 20" This one isn't in the original MMBB pattern, either -- it's another block from EQ8 that I plopped into position where their Block 4 was supposed to go. The two blocks that I replaced from MMBB were boring and too similar to other blocks already in the quilt; I thought these ones tied in nicely but were a lot more interesting. The biggest blocks make me more nervous than the smallest blocks do. I feel like, once I get these three done for a total of 4 blocks finished and on the design wall, the smaller blocks will come along more smoothly and they should be fun to make. So, here's my To-Do List for Tuesday! Piece the three large blocks for Beware the Ishmaelites quilt as pictured above Squeeze myself into the dress I'm planning to wear to a wedding this weekend to ensure that it still fits (I've been stress-eating in anticipation of abandoning moving my son into college, so there will probably be Spanx involved). Get a pedicure and pack for said wedding. Shop for school supplies with Anders, my high school Junior who will be sleeping under this quilt once it's finished. He goes back to school on Monday, as soon as we get back from my niece's wedding.

I am completely in love with this quilt. It's going to be so hard to take this one to the post office! This quilt uses Jennifer's starflower block tutorial -- my choice for my month as the quilter for the Peace Circle of do. Good Stitches. This quilt will be donated to My Very Own Blanket. It was so much fun to have these blocks arriving in the mail every few days! It was tricky to get the points to line up well -- each quilter had very slightly differently sized blocks -- but in the end I think it's quite a stunning quilt. I debated adding sashing in between the stars -- but decided that I liked the intense, bright colors right next to each other better. All of the yellows and oranges make me think of fall, and I used a yellow binding to keep it cheerful and light! For the binding, I used Rachel's ZigZag binding tutorial. I have never been a fan of machine stitched binding -- until now! I absolutely love this, Rachel!

Tonight's block was a fun one to piece and it makes a whole lot more sense than last night's block did. I still see no 9-patches in that one, and I have been looking at it all day trying to figure it out. I have finally given up. I would love to make a large quilt with this block some day as I find it so interesting that looking at it now I see a cross around the outside of the block or an X when it is on point. As I was piecing this I only saw all the triangles. It is fun to notice the big picture after working so hard on the little parts. This is number 333 of 366 and it is a 10-inch block. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen
