Наконец доделала "Февраль". Напоминаю, что участвую в совместном отшиве текстильного календаря в стиле "крейзи квилт" у Златы. Я конечно же плетусь в конце, но не теряю надежду догнать :)). Февраль. Цвета месяца - оттенки белого, кроме белоснежного, темно-серый, серо-зеленый. В определенный момент нужно сказать себе "стоп" иначе расшивать этот блок можно до бесконечности ... :)). Все фрагменты поближе: Снега в феврале было очень много, поэтому белый цвет у меня царствует, но согласно условиям задания, он не белоснежный - есть сероватый, зеленоватый и бежевый. В этом фрагменте я пыталась вспомнить про 23 февраля, изобразила что-то вроде защитной камуфляжной военной сетки и конечно сундук подарков нашим любимым мужчинам. Обещанное дерево, снега на нем совсем немного, да и под ним он осел как-то, прибился к земле. Сугробы... Дальше все понятно без объяснений...:)) Работать в этой технике очень увлекательно. Здесь можно посмотреть работы всех участниц. Пока у меня только два месяца: Продолжение следует....

Classic Quilt Blocks have been sewn for centuries, are easy to recognise and are every quilters favorite. Let's celebrate these gorgeous blocks and add them to our quilting projects! It's tutorial week in my Jacobs Ladder Classic Quilt Blocks series, and it's always my favorite week because we get to sew together YAY! Hopefully you had some time to download last week's colouring sheet and plan a few blocks to sew, but if you didn't then grab your scrap bins and join in anyway. We'll be sewing a 6" finished block and to make it quick and easy some of the units will be strip pieced. I personally prefer cutting small pieces and sewing them back together, but sometimes it's fun to do the fiddly stuff in a more time efficient manner. At the end of the tutorial I've included a Cutting Chart for six sizes of the Jacobs Ladder block, which will be useful for future projects. All the math is done for you, so keep is safe and you'll be ready to sew a project with a block size that suits your needs. You'll notice two things in this tutorial and in the Cutting Chart - the squares for the HST units are cut slightly larger than required and then trimmed (this helps with accuracy) and the strips are also cut a little longer than the math requires (this allows for trimming and re-trimming, if necessary, when cross cutting the units) OK, let's grab some fabrics and sew a block: From your background fabric cut: 2 x 3" squares cut diagonally to yield 4 triangles (A) 1 x 1 1/2" x 16" strip (C) From your print fabric cut: 2 x 3" squares cut diagonally to yield 4 triangles (B) 1 x 1 1/2" x 16" strip (D) Sew a print (B) triangle to each of the four background (A) triangles, along the long sides and pressing seams towards the print triangles. Carefully trim each of the four HST units to 2 1/2" square. Set aside. Sew the print (D) strip to the background (C) strip, along the long sides and pressing the seam towards the print strip. Square up and trim one short edge, and crosscut 10 units at 1 1/2" intervals - use your ruler lines to ensure units are cut straight and accurate and re-trim the strip if necessary. Arrange the units into five groups of two units, alternating the orientation of the units to create 4 patch units. Carefully matching the centre seam, sew the units together to yield five 4 patch units, pressing seams open or to one side. Carefully trim each of the five 4 patch units to 2 1/2" square if required. Arrange the HST and 4 patch units into three rows, using the photo to ensure the correct orientation of all units. Sew the units together into three rows, pressing seams in alternate directions for nesting. Carefully matching all seams, sew the three rows together, pressing seams open or in the same direction, to complete your Jacobs Ladder block which should measure 6 1/2" square. And that's it! One sweet little block to add to your collection or to use in future projects. I hope you enjoyed sewing this Classic Quilt Block. It's lots of fun and they become quite addictive -try stopping at just one! I've put together a Cutting Chart for six different sizes of the Jacobs Ladder block. They are all sewn in the same manner as the tutorial, but the cutting requirements and the unit sizes will be different. Simply click of the link to download your free chart or right click on the photo below and save it to your computer: To make it easy for you, I've included all the information you'll need, including the HST unit size, the cross cut unit size and the 4 patch unit size. I hope this chart is helpful for all your future Jacobs Ladder projects. Have fun! And that's it for this week. Next week I'll be sharing some of my favorite Jacobs Ladder quilts, and they illustrate just how versatile this Classic Quilt Block is in quilt design. There's lots of clever and fun quilts to admire, and I'm sure you'll be adding quite a few to your must make list. At the very least, I hope they inspire you to play with colour values and block layouts to create your own beautiful Jacobs Ladder quilt. Happy quilting :)

I have become obsessed with Flying Geese! No, not the ones currently flying south for the winter. With the quilt pattern Flying Geese. It’s a quick and easy (my favorite!) quilt pattern, and it looks great in all sorts of colors! Here is the first Flying Geese quilt I made. Outer Space Astronaut Flying Geese. And a Christmas Goose. Using the 4 at a time method makes these geese quick and easy, while also making sure that all of the points line up just perfectly like they are meant to. I’ve made flying geese before, and even wrote a quick tutorial on how to make them, but as star points, rather than as flying geese. What’s the difference, you ask? The finished product is different based on how you turn your flying geese units, and other background squares, but the construction is the same. So why, you ask, am I writing another tutorial so soon after the first? You have a lot of questions! I wanted my finished geese to be larger this time. And I couldn’t remember the measurements for cutting my fabric to make a different size. As a writer of the tutorial, I shouldn’t have to go online to look up measurements. I should have that resource available at hand at all times. Flying Geese can be made in any size, the finished size is always like this, each individual goose is twice as wide as it is long. Math, I know, it’s hard! Just a warning, more math is coming! I know, I try not to inundate you with too much math, but this time around it’s necessary. Let’s say you want your finished goose to be 3” by 6”, this will make each pair of geese into a 6” square. Why 3” by 6”? That’s the size I used most recently, so it’s fresh in my mind! So, now that I’ve looked it up, I’ve created a cheat sheet chart of many different sizes, to keep for handy use. The 4 at a time Flying Geese method uses one big square (this fabric is the goose body) and 4 small squares (this fabric is the sky). You should keep it handy too, you can pin it for later and never have to go looking for these measurements again. Now that you’ve got the list of what size little squares go with what size big squares, how ‘bout a quick tutorial on what do with them once you’ve cut them? Flying Geese Tutorial- The 4 at a Time Way To make Flying Geese this way, the large square is your width dimension (6”) plus 1¼”, for a total of 7¼”. The smaller squares are your height dimension (3”) plus 7/8”, for a total of 3 7/8”. This added fabric accounts for the seam allowances (that’s the bit that gets sewn into the seam). I wanted my finished piece (remember, finished means once it’s sewn into the quilt and no edges are left unsewn) to by 3” by 6”. To make this set of 4 geese, you’ll need: 1 Navy Square: 7¼” 4 Teal Squares: 3 7/8” Draw a line with a pencil from corner to corner across the diagonal of your 4 teal squares. Take your 7¼” Navy Square and 2 of your 3 7/8” teal squares, and place the teal squares corner to corner across the diagonal of the navy square. The corners of the teal squares will overlap in the center of the navy square, and the pencil lines will match up, to continue all the way from one corner across to the other. Pin in place Sew ¼ of an inch to the right of the pencil line. Turn the fabric pieces 180* and repeat, to sew down the other side of the pencil line. Because you’ve turned it, you will still be sewing to the right of the line. Cut along the pencil line. Iron the seam, pressing towards the smaller teal pieces. It makes sort of a heart shape. Pin your 3rd and 4th small teal squares, to the remaining navy corner of each of your heart shaped pieces. The pencil line will go from the navy corner, and should go right through the V of the heart. Sew ¼ inch from the pencil line, turn and sew ¼ inch from the pencil line on the other side. Cut along the pencil line, and press, again towards the teal. Now you have 4 Flying Geese! Here they are finished and sewn into a quilt. You can do lots of things with your 4 Flying Geese (even turn them into a star!) but here is the quilt I made with the navy and teal geese used in this tutorial. If you are wanting to making this same quilt, the original pattern (not my creation!) can be found here! My version is made with 40 different fabric combos. At 4 geese per combo, that’s 160 geese total. And, one more time, in case you scrolled by it above without memorizing it, here is the chart of square sizes again. Save it. Pin it. Use it again. And again. Happy goose flying! I love, love, love the binding I chose to go with this quilt! There’s a little bit of it in the quilt top too, but I just love it as binding.

I have been on a total paper piecing kick as of late! In all honesty, I was kind of avoiding this quilting technique as it seemed a little strange (and possibly like I was cheating) to use paper templates to stitch blocks together. But it is really fun! (If not a little time consuming.) The end results are stunning and the technique ensures nice crisp edges. Plus you can create really intricate designs that would otherwise be a real challenge to quilt. I had visions of a quilt with butterflies and was thrilled when I stumbled upon Lillyella's paper pieced butterfly patterns. Having never attempted paper piecing, I thought this would be a fun project to tackle. Since I'm a newbie paper piecer, I followed some recommendations from 3 and 3 Quarters on using larger scraps of fabrics to make my life easier. This was a great tip and one I would encourage anyone to follow if trying paper piecing for the first time. Essentially, you attach your fabric to the back of the paper pattern and then stitch on the printed side of the paper following the stitch lines. Each piece is marked with a letter and numbers. The first piece you start with is always #1, which I glued down to ensure it didn't shift on me. Once my first piece of fabric was in place, I then folded back the paper along the line separating section #1 and #2, leaving a 1/4
