What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Could be a single bed quilt … or a wall-hanging.

Need to experiment a bit with the border colours, but I like the results so far to keep playing.

This is the second time I’ve made this Freewheeling Single Girl quilt. The first time was for our oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in 2017. Both times I resized the rings so you got more rings per quilt. To make … Continue reading →

Strings of Beads make some very interesting designs, and I have had fun adding a few different shapes to the designs in this project file.

Some nice spaces which can be filled with quilting, and I would use the bead shape to link the colourful beads in the designs.

When I saw this design I knew I needed it in my life!!! And then I decided I needed to make it for all three of our children as Christmas quilt. I have made each of them many quilts over … Continue reading →

Elegant!

The star of today’s designs.

The Spirited panel was designed by Elise Genest for Northcott Fabrics. The panel measures 24″ x 44″.

I cut my strips 2.75” which yields 4” finished hexies. There were 210 hexies.  I let the design tell me what it needs to tell a good story.  After cutting my strips I had about 2.25” strip left.  This allowed me to cut diamonds and make 11 kaleidoscope Star 60 units. I added 4” finished Hollow Cube 60’s and a 12” hollow Cube with 4” cubes inside it to represent the stables. 

Spirit was left in the corral far too ...

Our oldest daughter’s former college roommate asked me to make a memory quilt from her mother’s tee shirt collection. Of course, I agreed. How could I not, she is like another daughter to us. I didn’t want the typical memory … Continue reading →

Earlier this year my guild, McKinney Modern Quilt Guild, started a new bee. I seem to have trouble saying no, because I quickly signed up. For my first set of blocks, I requested blocks made with this Blossom Heart Quilts tutorial in aqua/white/gray. I really loved the blocks I received! Last week I got the quilt back from Martha who quilted it. I quickly bound it and once I wash it it will be a perfect snuggle quilt.

I’m thrilled to share my latest finish—a table runner that holds a special place in my heart! This time, I used a pattern from the fantastic book Tabletastic .  If you haven’t checked out this series, you’re in for a treat! This is the first installment in the Tabletastic series, which is on their third series already.  They’re all  absolutely packed with gorgeous table runner and topper patterns for every occasion. What I love most about these books is the attention to detail—they’re brimming with illustrative, easy-to-follow instructions that make piecing and quilting a ...

As many of you know, I love Second Chance Quilts. They come to me as pieces-parts, or partial finishes, or groups of blocks. This one has its own story, as it is made from two different block sets from two different people.

The larger blocks are 12″ (11 of those) and the smaller blocks are 8″ (32 of those). They sat around for a while until I realized they could be one quilt: Just add borders to the smaller blocks!

To keep it from looking clunky, and to tie it all together, a double border seemed best. Half of the ...

Very suitable for Christmas, but also suitable for any other time of the year.

The holly and gingerbread men adds more Christmas flavour to the second design.
