What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Twinkle is one of my favorite patterns in my best-selling book Fat Quarter Workshop. It is a large scale block that features two colliding stars.

The design of the block makes it great for fabric collections that have a lot of low volume neutrals that don’t offer a lot of value contrast with the background. We use them in the center of the block and the darker fabrics as the star points to clearly define the block and all all the fabrics to shine.

The original fabric in the book quilt is long gone, but we thought Festive Fauna ...

Today we’re bringing you a replay of one of my favorite patterns, Congruence, in my best-selling book Fat Quarter Workshop.

We’ve got brand new kits in my fabric collection, Nocturne with QT Fabrics, inspired by one of you! We saw one of our customers upload their take on Congruence with Nocturne, fell in love and decided we needed one too!

Congruence is a no-neutral quilt where you split the fabrics into equal colorways to create equilateral triangles. Then the 60-degree triangles are sewn together in horizontal rows, making it about as easy as you can get with NO ...

In today’s video I show you how I quilted Undulation, our latest Stashin’ with Stephanie quilt pattern.

The quilting is really stunning and helped separate the fat quarter prints from the background, but there’s absolutely nothing complicated about the quilting designs. It just looks really amazing when you combine some simple elements.

You get to see a quilting play-by-play as I talk through what I am doing and why as you see me quilt in real time on a Go Pro camera.

I used a series of wavy lines in the background, working my way from the block ...

For our remake of Twinkle, I chose a super simple star and loop meander.

This design is very beginner friendly. You just need to be able to quilt a loop and a five-pointed star, both of which you probably have been doodling since grade school.

I love this design because it is fast, simple and looks great on kids quilts and patriotic quilts.

I quilted this on my longarm, but it is just as easy on your home sewing machine. Enjoy and tag us on the socials if you give it a go.

In today’s video I show you how I quilted Starburst, a NO Y-seam diamond pattern from my book, “Fat Quarter Workshop: 12 Skill-Building Patterns.” You can grab a signed copy here: https://shop.quiltaddictsanonymous.com/product/fat-quarter-workshop-12-skill-building-patterns-available-for-pre-order/

I just love diamond blocks. They look a lot harder to put together than they actually are, and I believe they deserve special treatment when you quilt them.

So in this tutorial I show you how I use straight and curvy rulers to stitch-in-the-ditch to outline the diamonds and then create uniform arcs inside the blocks. The results are stunning.

Rulerwork looks ...

This is our last video celebrating Nocturne, my first fabric collection with QT Fabrics which is shipping now. We saved one of my favorite quilts for last, Garden Plot, which is available in my book Fat Quarter Workshop.

In today’s tutorial I show you how to fussy cut the owls to fit the large rectangle and small square featured in the quilt so they are perfectly centered. Then I cover how to modify the original pattern so you can still strip piece everything but the owl sections so it is still super fast.

We are working on an actual ...

We’ve got a treat for you today! Not only do we have lots of new quilty arrivals to check out, I also got a chance to chat with FreeSpirit fabric designer Shell Rummel about her new collection Time & Tide.

So we’ll take a peak at all the new goodies we have in the shop, including Time & Tide, and then learn about the inspiration behind the collection and little bit about Shell’s life as an artist.

Shell and I have collaborated on projects before and I have made, or am planning to make something from every single collection ...

For our third make of Christmas we are replaying our tutorial for Ribbon Candy, a modern, fat quarter friendly holiday quilt that is perfect for using up all your extra Christmas fabric or that holiday fat quarter bundle you just had to have.

About half of the quilt is strip pieced so it goes quickly, it really shows off large prints well and a neutral strip between every fabric means you can pack a lot of fabrics in while still giving the eye a place to rest.

Ribbon Candy was originally designed as part of the Stashin’ with Stephanie Club ...

Today’s tutorial is perfect for anyone who has been wanting to give equilateral triangles, or 60-degree triangles, a go but have been intimidated by them.

I just love equilateral triangles because they look so fancy and advanced, but they’re not that bad once you break them down. My pattern On the 60 from my first book, “Simple Quilts for the Modern Home” is the perfect beginner 60-degree triangle pattern. The triangles are big and they are sewn together in horizontal rows, which makes it about as easy as you can get.

As always we cover everything you need ...

Today’s tutorial is packed with lots of tips and tricks to make a fabulous log cabin that doesn’t get all wonky!

If you’ve ever made one and found that the outside strips just seem to be too long, then you’ll know exactly what I mean about wonky log cabins. With all the seams, it is super easy for your log cabin blocks to get off in size and for the strips to stretch out as you sew and press.

I show you how to have perfect blocks every time by cutting your log cabin strips on ...

My second book “Fat Quarter Workshop” is officially here! If you pre-ordered, be on the lookout for a shipping notification this week. I’ve signed about two-thirds of the books and we’re in the process of getting them shipped out!

I’ve also managed to find a fabulous collection of fabric that captures the spirit of the original version of Frequency, our most popular Stashin’ with Stephanie pattern ever that starts off the book. So we’ve brought back quilt kits in the fabulous Silverstone by by Vanessa Lillrose and Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

The fabric has ...
