X and + QUILT from Kwilty Pleasures

I love all things Zen Chic.
I have had the inkling to make the x and + quilt forever! 
I have also had a bundle of Zen Chic ‘White Christmas’ fabric forever!
 It’s got a bit of metallic in it
Sew this is gonna be gorgeous!


My original intent was to make ‘Those Trees’ quilt by Zen Chic.
My friend made it and it is lovely.
But for whatever reason…I just couldn’t cut into the bundle.



And so it sat until this pattern caught my eye!
I love the green in the mix.  Still a Christmas color.


So ...

JUST GEOFABULOUS from Kwilty Pleasures


 Maybe you don’t know Maude Asbury?
Maybe you should?
She hides deep in my stash.
But sometimes her beautiful colors and designs
jump out and screams
“CUT ME! SEW ME! MAKE ME MORE BEAUTIFUL!
I am just a stack of fabrics
sitting here on the shelf, trying to be seen!
I deserve better!”


Well, who can argue with that?
This bundle was purchased from 
Rainbows End LQS, Dunedin FL 
many years ago.
These geometric prints are indeed…
GEOFABULOUS!

I think they will be perfect for 
the Picnic Quilt
ByRuby Star Society.
The free pattern was part of a
2022 ...

GROWING BIRCH TREES from Kwilty Pleasures

How does one grow a scrappy grove of birch trees?

It’s fairly easy and a wonderful way to use scraps!
Yes SCRAPS!
I decided to use my tiny Charley Harper scraps.
I added in other scraps that read as solids and
Played will with the CH fabric colors. 
After making 3 larger quilts with his fabric…
I had plenty!


Maybe I didn’t need the pattern and could have emulated the design but
Supporting our designers is sew important. 
I love Amy Smart’s patterns and a fun fav is
“Birch Trees”



You can find her pattern here

PLAIDISH 2 from Kwilty Pleasures

Being a Scottish Highlander of Clan Gordon
my heart belongs to all things Plaidish.
My heart also belongs to THE Ohio State Buckeyes.

Sew I am combining the two to make
Erica Jackman's Plaidish II


@kitchentablequilting had me crushing so hard
on her first Plaidish, I made two!

A true scrappy version!


A 3 color version using all Christmas prints.



But back to Plaidish II

I pulled all the OSU fabrics I had in my stash,
Most were scraps, which lend themselves to her Plaidish patterns.

There are only 3 blocks and they chain piece quickly.
The cutting is ...
