RSC Week 13 - End of the GREEN Month and Two Finishes from Grandma's Red Needle

Goodbye RSC GREEN March - Welcome RSC PURPLE April
It has been a busy month after I decided making the green quilt. First I thought of Rail Fence, but after pondering about that, I went for scrappy Churn Dash blocks (12" finished). Those blocks are easy and fast to make. My goal for March was to make and finish the quilt, and so I did! 


Scrappy Churn Dash quilt, approximately 72 x 96 inches / 183 x 244 cm


I had sew much fun piecing the backing! A couple of crumb blocks from table scraps and bits and pieces of green. I ...

Boundless Beauty Twin Quilt in Flower Sugar! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm taking a trip down memory lane and looking at Boundless Beauty in Flower Sugar!  This is a Twin size bed quilt in sweet blues, reds, pinks, aquas, and yellows.

The Boundless Beauty quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Boundless Beauty Quilt Pattern


Unlike other brick quilt patterns I've written, this one is made from blocks rather than rows.  This creates half bricks and thus increases the scrappiness of the quilt.  

The quilt pattern includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.

Included in the instructions are two piecing methods - Traditional Piecing ...

Belle Throw Quilt in Shelburne Falls! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a Belle quilt in the Throw size.  This quilt is made with an older fabric collection called Shelburne Falls by Denyse Schmidt.

Belle is a stunning quilt pattern that is precut friendly, using layer cake squares for the quilt blocks as well as the pieced border.  In this quick quilt pattern, the X's float in the background of the blocks, and the center of the X is a different print than the legs of the X.

Is Belle a modern old fashioned quilt pattern when used with modern fabrics??

Pixelation Quilt - A Twin Size in Moda Grunge Rainbow! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a Pixelation rainbow quilt I made last year and finally quilted this year!  Pixelation is a quick and easy strip pieced quilt pattern.

The Pixelation quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Fabric Selection


I ♥ Moda Grunge fabric as it reads like solids but has depth and texture due to the subtle variations.  A Pixelation quilt is made with nine fabrics, and this quilt includes Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua, Blue, Medium Purple, and Dark Purple.  

Pixelation doesn't require any background fabric.

Pixelation is an ombre or gradated design, so Moda ...

Woven Threads Quilt Pattern - A Twin Size Rainbow on Black! from Busy Hands Quilts

I'm so excited to share the Woven Threads quilt with you today!  This is a yummy rainbow or ombre quilt pattern.




Kona Cotton Solids


For this quilt, I pulled strips from my Kona solid strip bin in rainbow order.  This is the Twin size, and it requires 14 strips of color, so I pulled two hues of each of the seven traditional rainbow coverways.

The background is black, and the other two colors are a medium gray and a faux linen in charcoal.  These colors don ...

Migration to Africa (UFO) and Other Finishes from Grandma's Red Needle

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a good week and get lots of quilting done. 
It's winter on the Southern hemisphere. We're having a cold front from Antarctica; rain, wind and 3-4 degrees (Celsius) drop in temperature. (Actually no rain the last days!). This morning we have +14C / 57.2F and 65% humidity. The cold gets into my bones! BRRR! Never in my life did I imagine I have to wear wool clothes in the tropics, but that's what I'm wearing!

To keep my fingers warm, I've been working on my list from my ...

This, That, a Finish and Christmas in May from Grandma's Red Needle

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good week and got some quilting done. Since my previous post, I've been busy with several projects. I usually work on one project at a time, although not always get them finished. That's quite normal, isn't it?! :) 

First of all, I have a finished UFO! 

Yep! Another Postage Stamp Quilt! This is #9 (my UFO list). It's the same size as the other PSQ I finished recently; 72 x 95 inches / 183 x 241 cm. 


This is the one I struggled to get the 108" backing straight. We ...

Picket Fence Twin Quilt - The Solid Rainbow One! from Busy Hands Quilts

I have a beautiful rainbow quilt to share with you today!!  I actually made this quilt last fall but didn't share it here on the blog.  This quilt sold before it was even finished - no surprise there!  :)



Picket Fence is one of my favorite quilts to make because not every block is pieced, so it goes together quickly and still has a lot of WOW power.  :)

This quilt is the Twin size.


Layer Cake Friendly
