I have always admired two-color quilts, the contrast is so striking. And I've always admired the optical illusion of Winding Ways (aka: Whee...

I got the hankering to make a small Winding Ways quilt or pillow cover. A quick search online for a downloadable template was less than inspiring. I found a wonky scan from a book, a smarmy admonishment for being too lazy to draft one's own, and more acrylic templates for sale than I cared to…

Cheryl has invited me to post a little tutorial on how to create a Winding Ways block using precut shapes. These precut blocks are available from the shop and they really do make it very easy to create a gorgeous quilt. This is my first tutorial so wish me luck! I took the photos of…

The queen size top is made for the wedding gift, now I just have to decide how to finish it. A small border?  Just binding?  Or a larger da...

My first - and easiest - Winding Ways quilt Easy? Are you nuts? This quilt is NOT easy, you may say. But look closely. Those are TWO pat...

I made a mosaic using the 3 blocks I already made, to have an idea how a quilt would look. Ofcourse, there would be more variation in the real quilt as there are 12 different colours in the ruby red bundle from Oakshott. What do you think? Is it a yes or a no?

"Powerful and poignant." – Publisher's Weekly "Odds are good that this latest Elm Creek adventure will bring Chiaverini even more devoted readers who can’t wait to find out what happens next." – BookPage Quilters have flocked to Elm Creek Manor to learn from Master Quilter Sylvia Compson and her expert colleagues. There's Sarah, Sylvia's onetime apprentice who's paired her quilting accomplishments with a mind for running the business of Elm Creek Quilts; Agnes, who has a gift for appliqué; Gwen, who stitches innovative art quilts; Diane, a whiz at the technicalities of quick-piecing; and Bonnie, with her encyclopedic knowledge of folk art patterns.

At last,  Winding Ways is a completed commission!   My sister Kathy helped me make my deadline by burying threads (there was cursing) while I sewed on the label.  I was still stitching it when my client friend Sarah arrived for pickup.  She was very pleased with the quilt and looking forward to sending it off to her sister and brother in law in Arizona--a gift for their 50th wedding anniversary. A few photos were quickly taken with my phone before she departed.  Amateur shot--footed wavy quilt with shadow and chimney hat. I emailed her the next day to ask if I could come over to get better photos and also to fix an error that would bug me forever if I didn't correct it.  Much better!  Click to enlarge. Here is Winding Ways with the scrappy binding and threads all buried. And the Minky back: Spot the Rookie Mistake? Of course, no one would know looking at the quilt back in the photo, but the label is sideways.  I wanted it to be in the lower right corner and somehow it ended up in the upper right facing the side.  This is what happens when you are rushing at the end of a long overdue deadline!  Luckily, it was an easy fix and I got to spend time chatting with my friends and some last minutes with the quilt while I resewed.  I love the extra shapes the quilting brings out. My friend will give the washing instructions and also tell the couple about the meaning of the turquoise circle--the heart of the quilt and a sign of the two becoming one.  I hope they love the design as much I do, and that the quilt gives them many years of happy use.  One final photo I await sharing--a picture of the couple with the quilt. Quilt Facts: 8x10 layout, 64x80", 960 pieces, 8 different copper prints, 8-9 different cream prints, 1 turquoise print.  All pieces cut with Accuquilt Go Winding Ways die.  Minky backing from Fabric.com. Pieced, quilted and bound all by domestic sewing machine.  Started September 2014--Finished 4/5/2015.

This was on my bucket list of quilts to make. Many years ago my friend, Ramona, taught a Winding Ways class at Fabrics Etc. in Webster Texas. I didn't take the class but I always admired the sample quilt hanging in the shop. In this video I show you how to cut the pieces with the AccuQuilt and then piece the blocks. If you don't have an AccuQuilt yet, you can use templates to cut and piece the block the same way I describe in the video. You can purchase a template set from Sewing Machines Plus -->> Winding Ways Template Set. Finishing The blocks are set by alternating the light and dark backgrounds. The Winding Ways block creates large circles when blocks are set together. This is a close up of the quilting. I used white thread and quilted a classic stipple design allover. For the binding I cut 2" strips with my AccuQuilt Strip Cutter. I used a red and white gingham check fabric.

I am participating in Sew Cal Gal's "A Year of Red and White Quilts" Challenge. My entry is my "Red and White Winding Ways."

Going to keep this short today. Almost done putting my Not So Modern Maples top together, hope to take pictures and post soon. Now that my autumn themed quilt is almost ready for quilting, I am again working on something beachy. I cut out a million and half pieces of the Winding Ways quilt a…

I have always been intrigued by this pattern with it's sense of movement.  While this quilt is usually made from two fabrics but in this version I opted to use three.Qualicum, B.C., Canada
