Land That I Love Finale! from Humble Quilts

The finished quilt as shown will be approx 18x26.5

Many of you were concerned about the busy prints and fabrics. I chose blue (like the antique) which does calm it down a bit. (do you find my ~~error~~ humble design element? I only noticed after it was entirely completed.

Choose your fabric and cut:

(2) 6 1/2" squares

The following are a tad oversized to give you some wiggle room for trimming after getting your top together.

(2) 5 1/2" squares then cut once on the diagonal to make 4 triangles. These will be your 4 corners ...

Land That I Love Part 4 from Humble Quilts

Happy Friday!

Today we are going to cut (6) 2 3/8 squares, then cut them on the diagonal for 12 triangles. I used lights/mediums and darks.

Then we will cut (6) 3 7/8 squares, then cut them on the diagonal for 12 larger triangles. Most of mine are mediums/darks.

This is my favorite ruler for cutting my small scraps into usable pieces, especially in a small quilt and I want most of my HST to be different.

You should have (12) 2" squares remaining that you didn't use in your little blocks we made last ...

We will sew the half square triangles and 2" squares to make this block. Lights/mediums/darks really don't matter much although I did try and keep my darker prints in the half square triangles pointing to each other. Make 12 of these little blocks. Tada! Admire your handiwork!

Judy Stout, a blog reader, sent me this adorable pattern by Cheri Payne.

It was given to her and she thought of me. Thank you Judy! That is so kind!!

Kindness Matters is the name of it and so appropriate for these days!

Have an amazing weekend!

Oh yea, Welcome ...

Land That I Love Part 2 from Humble Quilts

For part 2 you will need to cut 36 2" squares. If you want your quilt fairly calm use mostly lights. Feel free to use lights, mediums or darks if you want to go crazy scappy!

That was simple! yay!

I hope you watch the video. I share how I store some HST and squares.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Land That I Love Part 1 from Humble Quilts

We will start by making some half square triangles.

Using your favorite method make 24 half square triangles that will finish at 1 1/2"

If you make them a tad oversized, then trim you will be trimming them at 2".

I want my quilt like the antique and the blocks are very scrappy. I opted to make mine one at a time so they would all be different. You can use light/dark or light/mediums or dark/mediums or a little of all!

Funny, I was just looking at my finished quilt and notice an unintended design element ...

Land That I Love 2021 Quiltalong! from Humble Quilts

This weekend you can prep for the quiltalong! Overall size of the quilt is 25x17 so you won't need a lot of fabric.

I'm using American flag colors and adding a few little patches of a black print. (I'm copying the antique) I encourage you to use the colors of your country flag!

It is called

Land That I Love

so make the fabric and colors work for you.

I keep my Americana fabric in it's own tub so it made it easy to pick and choose some scraps.

Just choose some fabrics that you'd ...
