I have the cutest little baby boy quilt to show you today! It is so easy and fun to make I though some of you might like to whip one up too so I have a quick tutorial made up. Wonky Stripes is the most unoriginal name but I am at a loss....what would you name it? This quilt ended up being 37.5" by 48". You'll need at least 10 fat quarters. Cut 40 8"x8" squares from your fabrics. Stack a variety of 4 squares, making sure that the top and bottom squares are not the same color (because they will be touching each other when you sew them into blocks). Make 3 cuts at slightly wonky angles so that you have 4 stacks of strips. Make sure to keep the stacks in the order you cut them in. Next, rearrange the layers so you can sew them together into blocks. Now sew together the strips in the order you see them from left to right. One thing to take note of when you're sewing the strips together. Because you are sewing angled pieces, you need to overlap the points where the seam allowance is. You'll end up with 4 finished blocks that are 8"x6.5". After all the blocks are pieced, you can arrange them (with the blocks turned horizontal) 5 blocks across and 8 blocks down. Finally, sew the blocks into 5 vertical columns and then sew the columns together. Done! I'm working on a version of this with girly colors as you can above. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

My Wonky Dresden Neighbours pattern has been deleted.... It was much too similar to another pattern on craftsy..... and I had to change mine...not a problem! This is the new Wonky Neighbours pattern The pattern also measures 24" (62cm) and is on the intermediate easy level. If you have already got yourself the previous pattern, then you can go and download yourself the new one (free) through Craftsy. I added it as an update. The pattern is written so that it will be made in 3 rows and then sewn together to form the neighbourhood. The centre part is a 'wonky park with fountain or pond'. The idea is to use up all your scraps you have lying around or those that are too small for any other project. I've added a fabric guide but all you really need there is the amount of fabric for the background. You can make yours scrappy, a night scene, a snow scene - anything you like. I only made one of the blocks from my other pattern, so Im going to scrap that and start over. To those who are further along - please carry on, don't let this get in your way. Thanks for all the encouragement and the positive comments. New Pattern is in my Craftsy Shop... ************************************** Quick link to my Craftsy Shop www.quiltartdesigns.online www.facebook.com/QuiltArtDesigns
One week ago I was reading different blogs and came across Victoria's at Bumble Beans. She was talking about the Sandy Quilt Block Drive that Michele at Quilting Gallery was running and offered a tutorial for a tilted scrappy log cabin quilt. You could either make blocks or be a team leader - the other possibility I thought of was to make one from scratch. So I called my friend Janet and we both started making blocks. On Monday I picked up her blocks and along with mine started laying them out....... The original scrappy log cabin blocks were to finish at 10.5 inches and then have an additional 2 inch dark color strip added to make the last round. I did not have a 12.5 inch ruler - so used a piece of paper to make the final cuts - tilting half of the 42 blocks to the right and half to the left. After sewing all the blocks together and adding borders it was time to get it mounted on the longarm and start quilting. Wednesday I added the binding, photographed the quilt and shipped it UPS to Timeless Treasures in New Jersey for distribution. The finished size was 81 x 93 inches.
