Half-Square Triangle Baby Quilts from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today, I have two more really simple baby quilts that I want to share with you! Last week I shared a simple patchwork quilt. And this week, I have two Half-Square Triangle quilts that I recently gifted to two new mommas in my neighborhood. Both had baby girls! It's such a joy to spread the {quilty} love!

(Sidenote: I finished all 3 of these quilts a few months ago and I'm just now getting around to blogging about them. Just wanted you to know that I didn't whip all of them up this past week ...

Cutting Table IKEA Hack from Flying Parrot Quilts

It wouldn’t be a new quilting studio without a new cutting table, right? In my old space I propped up a table with some PVC pipe to get it to the right height, but I wanted a table on casters with storage underneath—so enter the IKEA Kallax cutting table hack!

I used two 8-cube Kallax units, which I bolted to a sheet of plywood. I added casters (plus feet, to give some additional height since I am 5’10”), and the tabletop from my old cutting table on top, which was just barely big enough. I would ideally ...

New Design Wall from Flying Parrot Quilts

We recently finished our basement to create a studio space for me, along with some storage space and a play space for the kiddos. It has been a slow process, but I am getting organized down there, and one of the things I worked on over this past winter was putting up a proper design wall. I haven’t had a design wall in over ten years—I typically design my quilts on the computer, and since many if not most of them recently have used solids, putting up and moving around my blocks hasn’t really been a necessity ...

TUTORIAL: Mini Wallet from Wedding Dress Blue

There are a lot of mini wallet tutorials out there, but I like the combination of velcro closure and the added split ring (or you could use a swivel hook instead). You, might, too. Let’s take a look…

MATERIALS:

TWO pieces of fabric 4-3/4″ x 7-3/4″

ONE piece of fabric 1-3/4″ x 3″ (You might want to cut it to more like 2″ after it is stitched, to reduce bulk in the body of the wallet.)

ONE light-mid weight fusible interfacing 4-3/4″ x 7-3/4″

ONE 1″ split ring

ONE 1″ velcro pair

DIRECTIONS:

Fuse ...

Sewing Machine Mat and Organizer Tutorial from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I want to share a fun project I made for the Riley Blake Designs YouTube channel! It's for a sewing machine mat that will keep your notions close by and organized during any sewing session, whether you're at home or away.

Any cheater print would be cute for this project but you know I love Pineapple Blocks! This print features little 6" Pineapple ...

Homemade Ironing Board Cover from A Little Bit Biased

Hi there! Today, I want to share a quick project that I think every quilter and sewist will find useful!

When your ironing board cover becomes worn and scorched you can replace it with a fresh, homemade cover with stuff you just might have on hand! And it won't take long to make!

Block Party Block #56 - Birthday Cake Tutorial Part 1 Flock of Birds from Quilting Affection

Variable Star COMPLETE (And Mini Tutorial) from Wedding Dress Blue

This is a great pattern to use up jelly roll leftovers. In fact, a bunch of those (already conveniently sewn into sets) is what inspired this pattern.

The strip sets are 6 strips high and 12-1/2″ wide. The stars are also 12 inches (finished). I used a plan similar to THIS TUTORIAL: https://www.createwithclaudia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/CWC-Mystery-Quilt-Along-2020-November-Block.pdf

I matched the star centers and the binding. I would like to do this again and highlight a focal fabric in the star centers.

This quilt will be donated to the local childrens hospital.

Guess what he's getting for Christmas!

This one is envelope style.

Lord, why have I not tried this before?

Probably because I didn't have an excellent video tutorial to follow.

Color Weave Remake: Spray Basting Tutorial from Christa Quilts

I’ve been working on a remake of my popular Color Weave quilt. I realized that I don’t create a ton of new patterns each year and I really like remaking some of my classics! It’s been super fun to create it from my current fabric collection, Dazzle Dots (#9 if you are counting). Originally I made this quilt using my Abstract Garden fabric line (#3) which is shown on the pattern cover below. Don’t they look similar?

Postage Stamp Film At Five COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

Thank you, Christine, for the name suggestion. Considering that it uses a LOT of 1-1/2″ squares (finishing at 1″) it is a postage stamp quilt.

I started it in August 2023, so a year in the making. I wish I had recorded the day…

But, in the meantime, I am rejoicing over the finish. This one will stay with me for now and is on the full size bed in the guest room.

You can see the original quilt, the tutorial, and a number of variations HERE.
