Large Prints from Becca's Crazy Projects

Sometimes I have a really large print that can become a little quilt without much piecing. Cutting these fabrics into squares will give you squares that don't look much like the overall fabric. For those large prints, it is a good idea to use them like you would a panel. I had less than a yard of this print and it was a good candidate for this kind of quilt. I started by cutting my center to 30.5" by as long as the fabric I had available. In this case, I my center was cut to 30.5 ...

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt - Clue #1 from Becca's Crazy Projects

So many strips to make this quilt. The Creative Grids Stripology XL Ruler has been so great for this project. 
Here is my finished clue #1. I'm excited to see where this mystery is going.

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I don't know what it is about these mystery quilts that I love so much. That doesn't matter. I popped over to The Crabby Quilter, one of my local quilt shops, and picked up a kit and the Creative Grids Square on Square Trim Tool (3in or 6in).
I admit I chose it because of those cute, little kitties! I'm excited to get started on this project. Every year this is an adventure that takes me outside my comfort zone. I'm here for it!

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finally finished one of my Brown Bag Mystery Quilts. This kit was purchased from Mountain Creek Quilt Shop. I purchased two kits from them but I may have misplaced the other kit in my sewing room. More on that another time. The quilting motif is Hours from Longarm League.

Summer Sew Along from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finally finished all of my Summer Sew Along blocks and put set them out so I could put them all on the design wall. 
I'm pretty pleased with this layout. 
I pulled them all down from the design wall in neat little stacks so I can start to sew the rows together.

Stamp Along from Becca's Crazy Projects

I joined the Stamp Quilt Sew Along by Alison Glass. I bought the above fabrics for my stamp quilt.
The video instructions for how to make the block are great. Here is my first block inprogress.
I've done mitered corners before, and these aren't perfect, but it is nice to challenge myself. Only 31 left to go!

Summer Sew Along from Becca's Crazy Projects

When the Summer Sew Along was just getting started, I decided I really liked the quilt. I also wanted to use fabrics I already had in my collection. I grabbed this multi-color print a friend gave me, and started pulling fabrics. The pattern calls for half-yard cuts and that isn't a size I usually buy. I did find a couple extra fabrics that I think will work into this quilt and had to narrow down the stack. I think it will be a great quilt. The background fabric is just Kona (I think it is the color Snow). 
Each ...

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I loaded my first Brown Bag Mystery Quilt onto the frame and got it quilted. You can almost see the quilting in the next photo. I still haven't picked the binding. I have some leftover pink and blue that might work. 
And finished my second Brown Bag Mystery Quilt top. I have backing for this one and will get it quilted soon. I bought enough kits to make three quilts but I haven't started the third one yet. It is another solids quilt.

Charming: Tapestry from Becca's Crazy Projects

I have an embarrassingly large stack of quilts waiting for binding. I quilted this charm quilt in March and I attached the binding.
I added my simple label to this one. 
Here it is. Finished! I should pull out another stack of charm squares. 

Want to see how I cut all of these half-square triangles from 5" charm squares quickly and accurately? Check out this die-cutting post (corrected link).

Charming: Pheasant Hill from Becca's Crazy Projects

It's been a while since I posed an update on my Pheasant Hill charm quilt. I had more than a little yardage of a large floral print on a brown background that I decided would be a perfect backing for this quilt. I measured, cut, and pieced the backing. Then it was time to load it onto the frame and pick a quilting design.
Quilted and trimmed.
Now I just need to attach and finish the binding.

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

Once the big reveal was out, I started working on piecing the rows.
I love how this pattern was written when it came to putting the rows together. Everything came together perfectly. Well, as perfectly as it can when pieced.
I kept adding rows according to the layout. 
I was pleasantly surprised to find I got it right the first time. I had some of the white-on-white background fabric, so I added a 2" border.
Then I added a blue border using some leftover backing fabric I had that matched. I think it came out great! Now to repeat it ...

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I had to play catchup with my Brown Bag Mystery Quilt. I was behind for clues 3 and 4. So many half-square triangles! This is the kit from The Crabby Quilter in Annapolis, MD.
I really like working with the solids. They're so forgiving when it comes to cutting and piecing.
This kit is from Mountain Creek Quilt Shop in Alcoa, TN. I bought two kits from them but haven't cut any of the other kit. The last clue is tomorrow and I'm ready!

Making Do from Becca's Crazy Projects

Have you ever needed backing for a quilt and not had the exact single cut of fabric? Let's talk about it.
I needed a quilt backing that measured at least 57" long. I didn't have that, but I did have a cut that was over a yard, and a half yard of another fabric. Perfect!
First, I straightened the edges by ripping the fabric. This makes sure I won't have an issues with the piecing. Then, rip again along the length of fabric. This effectively makes that half yard of fabric into two fat quarters.

Keeping the ...

Charming Maison de Garance from Becca's Crazy Projects

While writing this post I realized I didn't share the name of this fabric line. This is Maison de Garance by French General for Moda.
According to that label, this fabric has been in my collection since 2010. 
In May 2023, I cut the charms into 2.5" strips and used them as leaders & enders. If you're curious about this technique for making a quilt on the side (like a quilter's side hustle) while working on other projects, I highly recommend Quiltville. In the free patterns section you will find almost a dozen different leader & ender projects ...

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

These little nine-patches were the first clue. 
The second was loads and loads of flying geese. I'm going to be piecing these for days.
A little bit of chain piecing makes this go quickly. I use the letter opener to quickly cut the units apart.
