A Japanese Stash Buster Quilt from Red Pepper Quilts

A Catalog of my Japanese fabric stash!

I made a quilt! My sew-jo had been missing for the last few months, allowing days and weeks to slip by without the one thing that has been such a big part of my life for more than a decade. Fabric play, stitching, patching, quilting have always been a source of pleasure and comfort. This quilt is hopefully a sustained return to that which I once so enjoyed, and an endeavor to stitch my way out of the doldrums.

Lifesaver quilt, the Cotton + Steel version from Zarkadia Quilts

It has been almost a year since I made this quilt, and we have been using it ever since. It is my favorite version of the Lifesaver quilt, which was designed by me when I started writing this pattern. This is the quilt that I gifted to my son, and he uses and cherishes it everyday .

Quilt Process

I made an alteration when using the actual pattern and added one more row of lifesaver blocks on the quilt. I made this easy adjustment, while following the pattern to the letter.

Now the quilt fits perfectly on my son’s twin ...

Expanding Stars quilt, a queen size quilt from Zarkadia Quilts

From the first time I saw this quilt pattern (by Emily Dennis of Quilty Love), it was instant love at first sight. Participating in the quilt-a-long, was the next logical decision.

The Expanding Stars quilt pattern was made as a present for two very dear people in my life, that will always be in my heart .

QUILT PROCESS

I chose to make one of the largest quilt sizes, which really made the quilting process very difficult.

Machine Quilting

The quilting process was particularly difficult in my home-sewing-machine, that has a small throat. So I chose to do the simplest quilting ...

I am so pleased to have finished my Scrappy Hexagon Quilt. One inch hexagons are the best! They are just the right size to comfortably hold together in your hand while stitching, and the scrappy patchwork fabric created by the use of ALL the fabrics is rather delicious. I do so love a scrappy quilt! I estimate to have used 250+ different fabrics and many hexagon pieces have been fussy cut to feature a fabric design element. There's a lot to see! The perfect I-Spy Quilt.

I basted ...
