How to make a memory quilt for beginners. Take all of those sweet memories, get them out of the closet, and make something beautiful!
It seems that every time a quilt comes out of the cupboard, love and memories unfold with it. I think of my ancestors wrapped in a favorite quilt to stave off bitter winds. I think of a mother wrapping her crying infant late at night. I think of picnics and blanket forts where the quilt was an essential part. Quilting is becoming a lost art. It has been years since I have seen the quilting frame set up in the great room of my grandmother's house. While I love and admire the craft of quilting, I think there is inherent value in being given a quilt for momentous occasions, homemade or lovingly purchased. This patchwork quilt is handmade so it has the feel of one you made yourself. It's cotton and the perfect weight for a bed or for a blanket fort. Patchwork quilt. - DETAILS - Measures 70" x 54". Made of 100% cotton. Made in Japan.

Sure, squares are interesting and easy. So, why not? If you are considering making a quilt, any one of these would be a great way to begin. How, you ask? 1. Start with a square of fabric and sew it to another square. Keep adding squares to form a row until you are satisfied that the row is long enough. Thirty inches is a good start, but you can certainly make it any length you want. 2. Make several rows. If you have a square quilt in mind (equal length and width) count the squares in the first row and make that many rows. 3. Now you're ready to begin stitching the rows together. Sew two rows together matching up the squares as you go. 4. Keep going till all the rows are in place. Really, it's that simple. One of the great reasons to use simple squares is that you can use a different fabric for each square or just a few fabrics for the entire quilt. Thanks for stopping by. Please say hello.

I indulged in a few long afternoons of playing in EQ8 recently. As usual, what I ended up with bears no resemblance to what I started with. This instance was rather extreme: I was thinking flowers and somehow ended up with a sailboat. Go figure! This block design ended up in my Sailing School pattern. For a tutorial about HRT, go here. After I drew it, I printed out the cut sizes the software suggested and happily started cutting and sewing, only to find that my sails were not turning out the size they should. I suppose I could have winged it and fudged all the other block parts to make it all fit together, but I'm really not an improv kind of quilter. I can appreciate a well-made improv quilt, but I don't particularly enjoy the process myself. I like to know what to cut to what size to make things fit in a predetermined way. So there. This of course meant that I needed to figure out why things weren't working out. I double- and triple-checked my seam allowance. I cut more fabric, checking my measurements. Nope, still not working. I finally figured out that my problem arose from having to guess how to line up the triangles when I sewed them together. I wasn't hitting the sweet spot. I thought I knew where to align one piece relative to the seam allowance on the other. I was wrong, though it would have worked if the geometry of that long triangle hadn't messed up the works. To make a long story short, in a HRT unit, if you want the diagonal seam to reach perfectly from corner to corner, you don't want the seam to be exactly on the diagonal of the unfinished unit. I drew it out on paper to wrap my mind around it. The paper is cut to the unfinished size of the unit and the drawn rectangle inside is the finished size. If you extend the line that runs diagonally from corner to corner in the finished size, you see that it does not actually cross the corners of the unfinished unit. Well, that's a fine how-do-you-do! I know there are rulers out there that take all this into account. In fact, I have one on my wall that would suit, except that it isn't large enough for the unit I needed. Also, the quilt design I have in mind uses just a few boat blocks, and I'd hate to ask folks to buy a specialty ruler for just a few blocks. I humphed and harrumphed and decided there must be away to make these a little larger and cut down to size so alignment wouldn't be such a bother. I took in ideas from various tutorials, and spent half the afternoon stirring them all together and finally came up with something that worked the way I wanted. I spent the rest of the afternoon figuring out the math to know what size rectangles to start with to end up with a given size. It would be a pain to use trial and error every time I want a different sized unit. There's a tutorial in the works to share the details. In the meantime, tell me, have you used HRT in any projects? If so, do you have any tips or trick to share? UPDATE: The tutorial is now available here!
