It’s finally done! It’s true, a project you don’t work on takes forever to finish. And I didn’t work on this much at all last winter. Willy gave his approval. I kept the backing plain as I usually do when quilting vintage tops. Ta daaaa!!! After taking the photos shown above, I gave it a…

My quilting voyage of the past decade is marked by some distinct phases when I would make many quilts of a particular type. Here are the phases (and I have many books supporting each one): – Beginner, when I carried with me the fabric requirements for the same log cabin quilt, and everywhere I went I …

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on the old blog. My excuse is that unpicking old tops and blocks, washing and pressing the pieces, and finally drawing and hand cutting 5,500 little triangles for my latest quilt is taking a very long time. I'm not complaining through -- it's actually a process I enjoy, since it gives me lots of opportunities to admire the designs in the antique fabrics. Since I have nothing to show for all my work except stacks and stacks of triangles, I thought I would share another old quilt booklet. Stitch 'n Patch Quilts is one of my favorites, because most of the patterns are perfect for scrappy quilts. I also like the way the publisher color printed the templates on top of the text, efficiently combining templates and instructions on one page. This booklet contains the pattern I used to make one of my favorite quilts, the Lantern Quilt.

I feel like I’m always saying “this is one of my favourite quilts” about every single quilt but I have two quilts that really do hold a special place for me- and they were some of my fastest and fun quilts to make! Even writing this, I’m thinking I need to make another one. “So what are these quilts

It seems I haven't posted photos of this quilt, one of my favorites, made about a year ago. It's about 40" square, and I've it hung in a place where I see it every day. This is about the 7th quilt I've made from the "Four-Patch Stacked Posie" pattern, which is basically a method of cutting up one central fabric so that each block is made from four identical segments of the fabric. Most people do this quilt from floral fabrics, and I've done some like that, but I also like what happens with a geometric or other kinds of abstract prints. Here's a close-up, so that you can see how the block is constructed. I am very happy with the quilting I did on this piece--in-the-ditch quilting around and through the center lines of each block, and then loose, overlapping squares in the white sashing. The black border was left unquilted, to emphasize its role as a frame. I think the narrow striped binding also works well; it was cut from an unevenly-striped fabric. (As always, click on the photo for a larger view.) Here's the fabric, before it was cut up: Added July 21--This was actually the second 4-patch quilt I made with the red/white/black fabric. Here's another, which I also like, but not as much as the one with white sashing. Some of the individual blocks are especially nice; my favorites are the bottom right corner and the left hand column, two center blocks. And here are some other 4-patch quilts I've made. I think the multi-color sashing is a big plus in this one, which went to my sister. I made this one for my friend Kay. There's a photo of the fabric before cutting at the end of this post. The next one won a prize in the local quilt show a few years ago. I was surprised, because it's a pretty straightforward rendering of a simple pattern. I think the judge had seen so many of these in floral prints, that she rewarded the use of a different type of fabric. And I do think the black and white sashing was a good choice. I originally tried out various bright colors, but the predominantly white fabric works well with the multi-color blocks. Here's a photo of the original fabric (on the right) and some of the blocks: Here's one from a more traditional fabric. I like this color combination very much--it introduced me to the pleasure of magenta. This quilt is on our bed. The next one was made as a high school graduation present for a good friend. The sashing is some of my hand-dyed fabric. And here's the first one I made, as a wedding present for another young friend. This one was done without the narrow frame around each block, as I was aiming for a more overall look to the pattern.
