Excellent Tutorials for Using Decorative Machine Stitches to Secure Bindings! The beautiful machine embroidery stitch used to secure the binding of a lovely quilt got us to thinking about bindings. The standard approach is to stitch them down by hand or machine, making the stitching as invisible as possible. Some quilters will stitch down a …
When I saw the Bordered Diamonds quilt in Kaffe Fassett's book, Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts, I knew immediately that it would be a perfect quilt for a thank you gift for my aunt. Never mind that my stash did not contain many large floral prints. My first thought was that I would just buy a kit, and Glorious Color has fabric kits to make two different versions of the quilt. This is their version from the book. And this is their version from the June/July 2010 Quilt Magazine. I carefully analyzed each kit trying to decide which would be best. Then I started thinking about how I liked each version--except for this or that fabric, and how I wanted to use some of my own fabrics, and how I am pretty persnickety about fabric choices, and I finally just gave up and started collecting florals...surely that wouldn't add too much to my stash? Here's a view of the cut diamonds and border strips and of my lovely white board which has been replaced: And since the directions call for dark diamonds to have light strips, and light diamonds to have dark strips, and the rows to alternate, I photographed them, then changed them to black and white to determine the values, as shown here by the strips (although these are the mediums to darks primarily): But after trying to lay them out as directed, I decided to do my own thing when the light/dark thing didn't work, and just evenly separated the colors. And now, a couple of months later, the blocks of the quilt are all sewn together. Hooray! I needed the quilt to be larger than designed, so it's now waiting for the border fabric to be added. This is what I am planning on using: And, having easily spent twice as much as I would have on a kit (what's an extra 1/2 yard here or there?), I now have a very large bin of floral fabrics. My stash, like my waistline, only seems to grow in one direction....

Jenny's quilt is finished and I am thrilled with how this wonderful Jane Austen Quilt has turned out. It may have sixty-four diamonds which have been quilted in sweltering Melbourne heat, but it has all been worthwhile. Each of the diamonds has been quilted with curved cross-hatching. The centre applique has been quilted with radiating straight lines to tie in with the straight lines in the setting diamonds. The setting diamonds have been quilted with radiating lines which extend into the piano key border. Enjoy your fabulous quilt Jenny!

As promised a tutorial for my latest finish...the Rainbow Quilt. The daughter of a dear friend of my mom's had a baby boy in May and in my book babies = quilt. So I got to work on this little quilt..I hope she likes it! As the mother is a school teacher I thought what better than a quilt with all the colours of the rainbow...ah yes, you bright spark at the back might notice I forgot indigo...well creative license I'm afraid as a) indigo isn't a easy colour to source and b) having 7 colours messed up the maths for a square quilt. For a square quilt measuring finished 46" x 46" 18 geese per panel and 6 panels (colours across) You need: 5 - 6 1/4" squares per colour (total of 30 squares) cut in half across the diagonal. (you will end up with an extra 1/2 at the end) 54 - 5 7/8" squares for background (white in my case) 3 - 3 1/2" squares in background for ends (white in my case) cut in half across the diagonal. This method does rely on accurate cutting and sewing so take your time and the results will be worth it :o) Take one colour triangle and match it right sides together with a square of background. Match up the corners and let the dog ears of the triangle hang over the edge. Sew 1/4" seam down the 2 legs of the triangle. With a ruler cut the sewn unit in half across the diagonal as shown. Carefully press open the 2 triangles creating a left and right unit. You can start to see how they will fit together… Repeat for all the colours. Unpick one unit of each colour making sure they are all the same either a left or a right. (put background pieces to one side) Starting with the triangle that you just unpicked sew to a unit (below is a video by Deb Tucker that clearly shows this step at about 4 minutes in) You are sewing from the bottom up. Now mixing up the placement of each colour as you go sew the left and right units as shown. Make sure to match the pointy triangles ends for accurate piecing. When you get to the top you use the extra background piece that you had from the start to sew to one side and then the HST made from the 3 1/2" squares for the other side to square off the end. Repeat for all the colours and sew the panels together. Quilt as desired...in my case I did a meander in the white and left the colours to pop. Bind with snazzy coloured binding! *you can do different sizes of migrating geese...the difference between the goose and the background is the background is always 3/8" smaller Here’s Deb Tucker’s Video (please note that Deb uses different sizes than I did and the chart she is referring to can be found on her site Studio 180 Design) I’ve included this video just to share the method for those than might want more than pictures :o) Until next time...♥

It has been a long while since I last made a medallion quilt. I made a Marcella Medallion by Alexia Abegg in 2014 for a fabulouc friend who turned 40. The quilt is being loved and used by my friend and family - including the dog! When I finished the quilt I had plans to make another medallion quilt for another friend who also turned 40 in 2014. But I had run out of mojo and inspiration by then ,I couldn't find the right fabric and pattern. It felt like I was wading through design treacle! Then I saw the Blueberry Fabric by Karen Lewis, and I was totally smitten! I bought some grey Kona - Silver, Iron and Steel to be exact. I like the contrast in the brights of the pink/red and the grey. I then bought the plain Kona fabric to match the Blueberry Park and the Fog pattern from Blueberry Fabric. Now I have bundle of fabrics, both solid colour and patterned. But what about a quilt design? I wanted a central star again and I found the wonderful paper piece patterns by Wombat Quilts. If you have never visited Wombat Quilts you are in for a treat. Cath Hall as has gathered a fabulous collection of paper pieced patterns for anyone access. I love this one: It is called Ellen's Snowball and there an instructions for 12" and 16" blocks. I have chosen the 16". Next up was getting the quilt designed around the central block... for this the amazing app TouchDraw comes in very useful! There is a mixture of simple sewing, paper piecing and some blocks I am still figuring out how to piece... So the journey begins with a central star.... hopefully it will end with a finished quilt by October 2016 when my friend turns 42!
