Today I'm talking about a modified Rebekah quilt I recently made. I was thinking of designing a Rebekah #2 because people love the first one so much. However, after I made this quilt top and asked friends what they thought, they couldn't tell the difference between the two quilts. LOL! This made me laugh, so obviously

Buy the Leaded Light Quilt Pattern here! Introducing the Leaded Light Quilt Pattern! I have wanted to design a quilt pattern inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright for a while now.

Well hello there! I know I've been sharing a lot of single blocks lately and I'm so happy to be able to share a finished quilt today. And there's a bonus - I've got a free PDF pattern to go along with it! This is Simple Bricks - a fat quarter friendly pattern that sews up quickly since there's no tricky piecing or seams that need to match up! The finished quilt measures 63" x 72" and needs just 11 fat quarters and just over a yard of background fabric. The fabric I used for this quilt is from a line called Wonder Full. It's designed by Elizabeth Clark (Lizzie Clark Designs) for Sweet Bee Designs. There's been a lot of fun projects being created lately with this pretty fabric! I fell in love with those rich berry colors combined with the navy. And then you throw that mustard color in there and I just couldn't resist! I paired the prints with a super soft chambray which made the perfect background. I didn't want the background to be too stark- like a white would be. The chambray blended beautifully and adds some lovely texture to the quilt as well. You can grab the free Simple Bricks quilt pattern here. Pretty please use this for your personal use only! If you're a shop please just send customers here to download their own copy of the pattern. Thank you! If you make a Simple Bricks quilt I'd love to see it.

Yet another week of wandering and playing and not really finishing - but planning for sure! This is another practice block and was remarkably easy and fast. This is Ricky Tims' "Convergance" pattern and is made from four 15" blocks. This took three hours start to finish and has only 24 seams. I want to make two more of these -- one in just two colors and another with a yard of the most gorgeous and colorful hand-dyed fabric I've ever seen. It's a generous gift from Ms LogCabinQuilts when she went to hear Ricky and I wanted to make sure I knew how the fabrics would be playing together before I cut into any more fabric. These are not-so-great fabrics that continue to multiply in the dark and may never disappear from my stash. I had planned to work on the two color version this week but haven't had the spirit to do it. So, I'll wait. I did manage to get the blocks for RRCB assembled. They went together well and it's just been too hot to take it outside for a picture. So, here's a snippet. I've gone as far as I can until the borders are done. And -- here's what awaits on the border. 172 of these little parallelograms must be assembled into the pieced border. I was pretty far ahead on these and only need to put the final triangle on most of them. That's the easy part and can be a leaders/enders project. What's much less exciting is assembling them as you see here for the borders. I'll plug along at it but certainly do not feel motivated to get this done. The tote that had this quilt it in is almost empty which helps justify starting another project, don't you think? That leads us to this little log cabin block and the pile of boxer shorts below. These were "gifted" by a friend whose sons are 29 and 32 years old -- and these are shorts they outgrew in high school. How lucky for me! While boxers don't provide nearly as much fabric as a shirt, there's enough to make a quilt. It's easy enough to toss the soiled or worn parts and only use the best fabric and not have a lot left over. No emotional ties here. So, I made another practice block to see if I like it and I do. This will finish at 7" and has 1" logs. I'm thinking 64 blocks set at 8 x 8 will make a decent size snuggle quilt and my goal will be to have it done by Christmas. We'll see -- and that's what leads us to the Olympics. I think I'll make these log cabins my Olympic event for the next two weeks. You see an incredible organization on Ravelry with various knitting events that start when the opening ceremonies begin. I won't be quite so structured, but I'll work on them when I'm watching from my sewing room and we'll see where I am by August 9th when we leave on vacation. I'm sure I'll play in other areas -- based on the last two weeks anyway -- but I hope to concentrate on cutting and sewing this pile of free fabric! When I think about the Olympics, I consider this to be two weeks of some of the best our world has to offer! It is my hope that they will be peaceful and embody the Olympic spirit - both in London and around the world. If only we could hold on to it after the flame is extinguished. What about you, is there an Olympic event in your future? Whatever the next two weeks bring, I hope it is peaceful and creative! Jan
