Binding Update from Sunwhower Quilts

Hello my friend!

I'm motoring right along with my St. Patrick's Day T-Shirt quilt. I took it off the frame a couple days ago and started to think about a binding. Luckily I remembered that I way over-cut this Kona Parrot green fabric into 2 1/2" strips. I don't bind at 2 1/2" - I prefer a 2 1/4" - but I really didn't relish the idea of cutting 1/4" off all the strips!

Luckily I have the 2 1/4" strip die for my AccuQuilt cutter. I just laid them out, stacked a ...

The Split 9-Patch Centre is Complete!! from Sunwhower Quilts

Hello my friend!

Thank you all to warm welcome back to blogging. It feels good to be sharing in this format again. For a while I thought that social media would completely replace a blog - nope! I was wrong. There's something beautiful about this longer form of communication. I know another that contributed to my lack of blogging was that I was trying to blog from my iPad - huge mistake! It takes way too long. I have a new Apple laptop and wow what a difference!

Yesterday we took my son to Trent University - and left him there! :-o ...

Kick-Starting the Kaleidoscope Quilt from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Son-the-Younger's high school graduation quilt has begun! And it's SOOO exciting!

In the photo above, the isosceles triangles have not yet been sewn together into an octagon, but I just loved the way the strippy pieced triangles came out and had to snap a picture. This idea was born of necessity, because I didn't pay attention to the size of the hand dyed fabric pieces in the assortments I ordered from Marjorie Lee Bevis on Etsy and I do not have enough of any one of them to cut four identical 5" x 6" triangles out of ...

SANTA SQUIRREL! I Need to Make a Christmas Throw Quilt, and I Need to Do It TODAY! from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Today is the Drop-Everything-And-Make-It linky party at MMM Quilts, which is the perfect excuse (as if I needed one) to give in to the "squirrel" of an idea that's been chasing me around for the past few days! I've seen so many cute Christmas quilts over the years, but have never had a strong urge to make a holiday-themed quilt before this year. Maybe it's the pandemic, maybe it's the adorable snowflake E2E quilting designs that I'm dying to try out with R2D2, who knows -- but the squirrel won't leave me alone until I ...

Spirit Song Quilt: Are We Done Yet? (NO). But Blocks On the Move is Ready to Debut at Quilt Show! from Cheeky Cognoscenti

My progress on the Spirit Song Dress Code quilt has slowed way down because I'm at a tedious point in the construction. After spending so much time planning my mix of colors and prints in my design software, I barged ahead with my piecing without bothering to create a pressing plan... So now as I'm joining the 4" inch Birds in the Air blocks together to form the large 16" composite blocks, none of my seam allowances "nest" where the blue triangle points touch one another. As you can see in the completed block below, that happens EIGHT ...

Spirit Song Blocks Nearly Completed, Only 38 Blocks to Go from Cheeky Cognoscenti

So, in the midst of my sadness over losing my dog to cancer, I have not yet loaded the Jingle quilt that I was planning to start quilting between Christmas and New Year's. That is a challenge that requires more positive energy than I could muster right now. Instead, I've been piecing more of those Birds In the Air blocks for my Spirit Song Dress Code quilt, which is a total tangent (squirrel) from the projects I'd intended to be working on and finishing right now, but it's cathartic. I had intended to use these HST ...

Accuquilt Spirit Song Quilt is Now In Progress. Want to Make One of Your Own? from Cheeky Cognoscenti

Good morning! I finally got some sewing time in last night, giving me something to post about today. I've been busy with some travel lately, and the recent migration of my old Bernina 7 Series Yahoo group to the new Groups.io platform has been taking up a lot of my time as well. If you own or are interested in learning more about Bernina sewing machines or software products, consider this my personal invitation to join me and 7,000 of my dearest friends over at the new BerninaLand forum on Groups.io, which you can find here ...
