I LOVE the green in the original quilt!


We will cut eighteen (18) - 3 1/2" squares from the green print. (Or whatever your chosen color is) 


Use 2 matching 9 patch and 2 green squares, piece as shown above. 
Make 9 blocks. Your blocks should measure 6 1/2".

Homestead- 2024 Sewalong from Humble Quilts

This was an antique quilt I saw at Homestead Hearth this year! The larger version is more effective than the little one we will be doing, but both are still so charming!

Humble Quilts Homestead will measure 25" square so it will make a cute table topper. 



Such a simple quilt but visually so pleasing. 

Every nine patch has a red center. 

The other parts of the nine patch will be up to you.


 

You can see the original tan binding in the nine patch photos above. This is what I used for the main fabric. I wish my pink ...

Fun on A Friday from Humble Quilts


I put the final stitches in  this years Humble Quilts sewalong last night! I plan on posting fabric choices and the antique inspiration next week. I hope you'll be joining in! It's called Homestead.



I'm trying to take advantage of summer before it is gone!


Did a nice 7 mile hike near my home in Central Oregon. 

Scruffy little bunny is always fun to see!

Next, since I've been in Portland I try to find some kind of urban hike. 

This tree was massive. 




I ended up going through the Portland rose garden. So beautiful!




Have ...

Parsonsfield Part 3 from Humble Quilts

Here is a sneak peak into the quilt name! The above photo was lifted from the internet. 


Subtle and low volume. :)


Here are the same photos from the 4 patches.

Now we are cutting squares and half square triangles. 

Little bits of red and blue give the quilt a little interest.



 

If you have a bin with 2 1/2" squares you can likely rummage in there and find what you need.

You'll need eight 2 1/2" squares

For the half square triangles you'll need eight 2 7/8" squares. You'll cut those on the diagonal ...

Parsonsfield Part 2- 4 Patch from Humble Quilts

We will be making cute little 4 patches. You will need 16 total.

I'm giving you some close ups so you can see the fabric. 

There is a little blue, a little red, a little tan in the 4 patches.  

The upper right even has a tad of a yellow stripe.

When looking close it hardly seems low volume!



You can either strip piece using 1 1/2" strips or dig around in your 1 1/2" square bin and sew them together to make a 4 patch.
I opted to use the same 2 fabrics in my 4 ...

Parsonsfield Quiltalong Part 1 from Humble Quilts

Happy Friday! Today is the day we start the 2024 quiltalong Parsonsfield!



We are starting slow and easy. Several of you are still waiting for your starter kit to arrive. They should be arriving very soon.

I tried to copy the vintage 1920's quilt, mostly in the direction of my fabric. This has a lot of movement/stripes. Embrace it!
Upper right rectangle/lower left rectangle are the same print. You put it together with whatever pleases you. 


 

C: Cut one 4 1/4" square 

Use the quilt for placement of fabrics. 
A: (you will need 12 total, but ...
