St. Patrick's day is a ways out. Nothing like being prepared right? Quilting Inspiration: Shamrock Free Pattern After the last few dreary, rainy days, I needed something bright to remind me that Spring is just around the corner. Shamrocks are popping up all over my Pinterest and Instagram feeds. I couldn't resist a little Luck of the Irish! I pulled most of these stunning green fabrics from the store, a few came from my stash. I love green and my stash seems to have more than its fair share. (It has even more now, but we're not going to talk about that.) This block is pretty simple. I was able to sew up a few in one afternoon. A few tools really helped a lot. First off, I can't begin to tell you how much I love my Martelli Rotary Mat. It made trimming all the blocks a breeze. I also used Creative Grids Square Rulers in 5.5

Our popular free Ireland quilt block of the month patterns are perfect for quilters looking for an heirloom piece!

Every week Lee over at Freshly Pieced does a Work in Progress Wednesday, or WIP Wednesday. She has a link section at the bottom where people like me can submit our projects for that week. I just LOVE this idea and I have been an active participant for a few months now. For just about as many months as I have been participating I've wanted to catch up with the Skill Builder Sampler my friend Leila has been doing and this week I made TONS of progress. I did blocks #3 to #9 and bonus block #1. I've learned a few things along the way and basically had a lot of fun. I've worked on nothing else this week so this post is all about the Sampler. Block #3 Churn Dash - I love the way this one turned out. The greens look so great! I would love to see a whole quilt done in this block with a variety of colors or maybe even a bunch of the same. It would be fun to see the additional patterns this would make. While working on block #4 I learned about trimming down to create a perfect HST. It seems unbelievable to me that I have quilted for 15 years and never have done this. I guess I thought it was cheating and that I should be able to just make them perfectly in the first place (yeah, right!). It took a while but I can't argue with the perfect results. Here are all my perfect HSTs and the trimmings. I set aside one piece to show the tiny shavings I'm removing but over a whole block and a whole quilt it really does make the difference. Block #4 Pinwheels - See how perfectly it all came together thanks to the trimming? I'm so excited I learned something so useful! This block is just beautiful! I've never made a pinwheel before so it was fun and super easy. Block #5 Arizona - I think this is the best block as far as color combination so far. I love how it turned out! I also like how crisp it looks. So many of these would be fabulous with their own quilt and this is one of them! Block #6 Bow Tie - I love the red and white on this one. The bow tie was SO FAST! Block #7 Virginia Star - We tried flying geese for the first time in the sampler with this block. I was a little nervous but the traditional method worked well for me and it all lined up great. I like showing off the light gray print in the middle as it was one of my favorite pulls for this quilt. Block #8 Breaking Out - FAIL! Well, my husband thinks I'm crazy but I think I totally failed at this block. Especially the dark purple geese don't line up and there are huge chunks of white showing. We used the "magic method" and I tried really hard but came up lacking. Some of them turned out well but some of them were about 1/4" off. Needless to say I need practice with the magic method and in the mean time I'll be sticking to traditional. Block #9 Double Star - I went back to the traditional method of piecing the geese for this block and it turned out beautifully! I went with an alternate layout of this block and just love how it turned out! The gray and purple are so fun together! I don't know what it is about my camera that makes dark purple skew blue but some time I'll figure it out. To help with cutting directions and to keep track of the color combinations I have used without having to take out all the blocks every time. I love seeing them at a glance like this. Bonus #1 Zigzag - As part of the series Leila takes the time to teach basic skills like quilt math. For this block she discussed how quilt math works and then set us to work designing our own block for the bonus. This is what I came up with. It's a zigzag using 2.5" strips. I cut them 2.5" by 4.5" and just sewed them all together following my drawing. I love the crisp clean lines.

Happy St. Patty's Day to you! I woke up today with an idea and just HAD to make it. I struggle with impulsivity- it seems to be a trait that comes hand in hand with creativity, and can be a curse and a blessing! Obviously this isn't quite how rainbows work, but I wanted to give piecing within a curve a try, and it worked! Here's how to do it, assuming you already know the basics of piecing curves. First, I pieced a half circle using the EZ Dresden ruler with 10 blades that are 4" long. Next, using the Circle Savvy ruler fold the rainbow patchwork in half and trim at the 10 1/2 and 4 1/2 mark. The fold is at the bottom. I didn't follow the directions and placed the fold at the bottom line, not the fold line. I realize there are a lot of gadgety rulers going on here. Thing is, I love them both to death. I dislike working with paper templates, and both the dresden and the curve one can be used forever, with every size I'll ever need. I really love having them around! Next cut a piece of background to 14" x 7" and fold in half. With the fold at the bottom once again, trim the white background using the Cirlce Savvy ruler just like you did for the rainbow, but at the 9 1/2 and 5 1/2 marks. Here are the pieces still folded in half: The middle arc won't be used. Open them up and pin and sew the top and bottom piece on either side of the rainbow patchwork. Here's what the top looks like after you sew and before you press. Curves are so strange! I'm still kind of getting used to them. Then, sew a 14" x 4 1/2" piece of "grass" to the bottom. Baste, quilt, and bind according to your pleasing and voila! You can see the bottom curve gave me some trouble, but perfect is the enemy of trying new things, right? Or something like that. My Kindergartener loves festivity and will be so delighted with this when he gets home today. I will assign him to make a pot of gold and a leprechaun to go with it, which will be his great honor :) Maybe some day I'll try one with the colors going the right direction. The thought gives me the shivers right now, but never say never! Hope you have fun celebrating this somewhat silly, but very happy holiday. I'm off to start the corned beef and cabbage and put green dye in the toilet to make it look like a leprechaun used it. My boys will die over that!
