Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I enjoyed piecing the Brown Bag Mystery Quilt so much that I pulled another version from my collection. I picked up these winter prints a few months ago without a plan. This was a great way to use them. I played with fabric placements a little and I think I used one less print than the original. Once I find some borders it will be perfect.

If it wasn't a basic square, I cut the pieces using my Accuquilt Go cutter. If it was a square, I used my Creative Grids Stripology XL Ruler to cut.

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

This year I picked my Brown Bag Mystery Quilt based on a single purple print. I had no idea what other fabrics were inside that brown bag or what the quilt design was going to be. I enjoyed this one so much I pulled a set of coordinating fabrics from my collection and got cutting. I still need to sew this one together and find some borders. I cut most of these units using my Accuquilt Go cutter.

I finally loaded this great quilt onto the frame.

While it was quilting, I made the binding.

I used Overlapping Crop Circles for the quilting design. Look at that lounging kitty!

It's trimmed and ready for the binding.

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I stacked up my block units.

And I sewed a bunch of blocks.

Then, I put the blocks and the sashing strips on the design wall. I'm sure I'll get them sewn together soon. I'm still working out the borders for this one. This one was really fun.

Brown Bag Mystery Quilt from Becca's Crazy Projects

I realized I hadn't been sharing my BBMQ clues. Let's just work through them since the big reveal is coming up on Saturday. I made some 4-patches

I made some great square-in-square units.

And these units with contrast corners. I'm excited to see what comes next and how all these units will fit together.

More Baby Quilts from Modern Sunbonnet Sue

I need to stop & write more frequently. I begin and end a project and need to document it but, I don’t take the time. Just last week I began another baby quilt for my best friend’s first grandchild. And I’m thinking about what to make for a niece that’s expecting later this year. So, […]

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

After a slow start to my week (I was doing things not fun, nor crafty) I finally picked up some speed.

First, I pieced a little charity quilt using some 5" squares I had leftover from other projects.

Laying them out was likely the longest part of making this quilt. I didn't have that many sets of five to make the pluses. In the end I think it worked out fine. I may need to see how many more charm squares I have and make another.

This little cutie was mad using even more leftovers. This time, the 2 ...

Catching Up With the Last AHIQ Prompt of the Year from Quilty Folk

*Remember! The Christmas Giveaway is still open through December 25th!* All year long I've felt like I'm back in junior high, always the last one to finish up the 5K run. Here I am though, finally running across the finish line! The last AHIQ prompt had to do with symmetry or asymmetry, whichever felt least comfortable to us.

The new baby quilt

So I've been thinking and thinking, wondering, 'Am I actually uncomfortable with either?' And yes, while symmetry comes very natural to me, attempting an asymmetrical design usually comes about as a last resort. Sometimes it ...

Mermaids on Wings from Sew Preeti Quilts

It started with this fabric - cute and sweet. It is a complete escape from reality. Just perfect.

Cuteness

The concept was to frame the cute fabric and then alternate the resulting block with four-patch blocks. The four patch blocks were made from Lily and Loom charm squares.

Depressed :-(

I loved the mermaids and I loved the deep/rich 4-patch blocks but together they did not seem to work. It seemed dull and sad.

Something had to change.
I chose the colors from the mermaid fabric, cut up some 5" squares and put them up on the design wall.

Mock-up

Much ...

Vintage Four-Patch from Becca's Crazy Projects

This is what my cutting table looks like most of the time. I move on to the next project and leave a pile of leftovers to put away later. This slows down some of my creativity, but not enough to keep me from doing it again. I had a bunch of strips and squares leftover from my Star Storm Quilt. I decided to trim down some of those leftovers to make some simple four-patch in four-patch blocks.

First, I made a bunch of smaller (4.5" by 4.5") 4-patch units.

Then I joined some to make bigger blocks (8 ...

…But Wait, There’s More! from Quilting, Piece by Piece

dsc04696-1 So, you went to the Guild meeting and picked up your Single Irish Chain kit, and looked at my blog post and said to yourself, “Surely, she doesn’t expect me to cut up everything into little squares and do all that tedious piecing.”

You’re right, I don’t expect you to do all that “tedious piecing.” (And, just to show my age, “don’t call me Shirley.”)

If you know shortcuts, I expect you to use them… as long as the Irish Chain blocks come out to 9.5″ square, no one but you will know how you ...
