Scrappy String quilt by Emily of Quilty Love. See how Emily sewed together this fun and easy string quilt using her scrap stash.
The week before last I went to Gwen Marston's Beaver Island Quilt Retreat (week 5). Each year Gwen generously shares her skills over a five week period, each week working with about 30 quilters, many of whom return yearly for their "Gwen fix". This year the topic was small studies. It focused on practicing techniques for make various elements and subsequently using those elements to design small quilts, or sketches as Gwen called them. Gwen recently published a lovely book, 37 Sketches, showing her small quilts and the thought process behind their creation. During the retreat, we played with color and sewed skinny curves, spikes, free pieced log cabins, overlapping curved strata, inserts of tiny specks of color, checkerboards etc. We learned not to be afraid of using little pieces of fabric and to let ourselves experiment with abstract designs. We explored colors we don't often use in quilt making. We were challenged to think out of the box. I had a wonderful time exploring and trying new things. I made the following small quilts: Color Study: Blue and Green Color Study: Brown Trees and the shore - made with spikes I made one more piece, but it isn't quite finished, so I'll save it for another day Liberated quilts have always been favorites of mine and Gwen, through her many books, and now through the retreats has been very influential. Thank you, Gwen. Happy quilting, Kathy

This quilt has been in the works for a while, and in my head I'd deemed it our 'end of summer/early fall' quilt. It's primarily made from a charm pack of American Jane Happy Campers, and I will allow myself the disclaimer that this isn't my first choice for binding. But it's leftover from a…
It's officially Pumpkin Spice season and decorating for the fall is an absolute delight! As the leaves outside begin to change into a mesmerizing tapestry of warm hues, bringing that same cozy, autumnal charm indoors is both comforting and invigorating. There's something magical about adorning your home with rustic pumpkins, golden-hued leaves, and the warm glow of candles that instantly sets the mood for this wonderful time of year. I had the idea to update my Cup of Love quilt with maple leaves because it's so charming to hang in my kitchen. However, as I was sewing the binding on by hand I realized it makes a nice lap quilt as well. Download the Maple Leaf Block here. This Maple Leaf block is designed to replace the Flower Block in the original Cup of Love Quilt and includes updated cutting instructions since you won't be cutting for the flowers. The PDF quilt pattern is available here and quilt shops can get printed copies through Moda! It is Layer Cake friendly however I enjoyed making this version scrappy!
