read moreIt’s been quite a while since I posted here. I’ll try to catch up, as I HAVE been making quilts. But today’s issue is a quilt that is too small.
In 2022, I finished a queen quilt for my own bed. All Kaffe Fassett fabrics with a bamboo batting. But both of us toss and turn all night and the sateen backing lets the quilt slide everywhere. So I’m adding new blocks to three sides.
Fortunately, old and recent Kaffe fabrics coordinate well. The quilt is ...
read moreHi there! Thanks for joining me today! Yes, I see that there wasn't but one post written in 2022 and this is the first post in 2023! We are going to have to change that!
I have been very busy the last few months exploring transparency in quilt blocks. When I was doing my research, I couldn't find any quilt samplers just a few blocks. Then I started to explore transparency in several different quilt blocks and decided we needed to change that too.

One day I was sick of playing with block designs, so started playing with sashing. the worst thing about this project file is the title, but I am yet to come up with something better.

Different!
More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

Changed the scale of one block to make more piecing of smaller pieces, removed some coloured sashing, and the effect is much daintier.
read moreI called this sashing a lot of names while trying to get it to connect nicely during design, most frequently it was “that Twisted Sashing”, though a few other words crept in from time to time!
I like both variations of the sashing, but I think the first one needs more work, while the second one is workable as it is.
read moreOne of my favourite colour combinations, and I love the results.
Love the second one too … no favourite from me, so make up your own mind!
read moreEvery so often I stop playing with block designs, and play with sashing designs instead.
As you can see in these designs the sashing can be used as border designs too.
And then of course, you can add some blocks with some tricky bits pieced to form a frame around an applique.
