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!

My favorite tools and supplies (affiliate links):

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 ...

Needle Felting Adventure from Becca's Crazy Projects

As a crafter, have you ever gotten an idea and been unable to let go of it? No matter how hard you tried? Well, this needle felting adventure is one of those ideas. I don't know why, but I had the idea to make some wool dryer balls. Can I buy wool dryer balls? Absolutely (link at the bottom of the post). But where is the fun in that?
Because I wanted to make dryer balls, I grabbed a box of roving. I estimated I could make several with this box.
I wanted some colors so I added in ...
