back to basics

Back to Basics 29, 30 from Virtual Quilter

I started this project file with the intention of using blocks from the Electric Quilt Library without making any modifications. Up until this design I stuck to my original intention, but now things have started to change.

In the second design I have blacked out 4 squares in four blocks, and from now on I will be making changes!

Back to blocks from the Electric Quilt library, no modifications, add some bright colours on a dark background.

At first glance I thought this one was a sampler, but a coffee has made me aware that there are only five different blocks.

Not my colours, not my style, but I love it!

Still not y colours, more my style, but still love the first one more than this.

I think I would have to wear sunglasses if the light was turned on at midnight and I had something like these designs on the bed!

The second one is interesting, but not one I would consider making without some modifications.

Another interesting design, and the last in this project file.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had large quilting studios with plenty of space for cutting, designing, ironing, fabric storage, and multiple sewing machines? Yes, that would be ideal, but it just isn’t the reality for most of us. The truth is, many sewists are squeezing their hobby into tight spaces and we’re here to help you fit everything you love about quilting into whatever space you have to make creating a pleasure again.

Back to Basics: Hourglass Block from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Welcome back, fabric friends!

Since being home, I've been having a lot of fun practicing some basic sewing techniques. Last week you joined me in some Strip Piecing, but today I wanted to talk about two ways of constructing an Hourglass Block.

Throughout my practice, I found two ways of making this block useful but you may have a preferred preference when it comes to techniques.

So, I took some of my leftover fabrics from Amy Sinibaldi's collections, Mayfair and some matching Pure Solids

Fabrics used: Shepherd Market, Royal Arcade, Tender Green, and Mauvelous.

I decided to add ...
