6 inch squares........... from Exuberant Color

One of the items we offered to the Colorwash 360 class participants is packs of 6" squares in both Kaffe Fassett fabric and in batik. There are 2 different kits available in each. The idea for these is that you can either fussy cut or random cut 2.5" squares from them

In this example I would be cutting an area with just red flowers.

On this one I would be fussy cutting the area with the purple flowers with one green twig.

This shows the random cut just straight across in both directions to give me four 2.5 ...

Magazine and blocks............. from Exuberant Color

When I was in NC last month I was looking for a magazine to read on the airplane coming home. I had seen this magazine on several blogs but it didn't interest me until I saw this issue about Louisiana. There is a section about Anna Williams. I first saw her quilt tops at the Quilt Surface Design Symposium in Columbus, Ohio around 1992. Her friend Katherine Watts brought the tops and they hung them on the walls of the cafeteria. If you don't know who Anna Williams - quilter is you might want to do a search and ...

Favorite block so far........... from Exuberant Color

I thought I would just show you my favorite block so far in the 16 patches. Actually there are 2 alike. The brown batik is really old, back when batiks were first available in the 1990s.

On these two I just wanted to show how much variation there is in one print, the zebra stripe. It goes from light brown to dark brown, and light gray to dark gray all in one fabric.

I counted the strips that are waiting to be sliced into parts for the 16 patches. There will be 108 more blocks when I get them sliced ...

Back to 16 patches.......... from Exuberant Color

I decided to scrap the project I showed yesterday and use the blocks for mug rugs. I can't waste any more time on it. So...I got back to sewing the neutral 16 patches and got 30 sewn last night. I had 20 done previously so I'm at 50 total right now. I think my plan was to make about 130 blocks but I don't know where my notes are right now.

I spent hours outside yesterday. My son mowed the lawn and did all of the trimming around things. I don't have a trimmer so ...

Fabric play........... from Exuberant Color

My day started out with this luscious piece of red batik arriving in my mail box. The flowers are about 3" and it is prettier than its photo.

Then I started looking for something....I had 3 places that I thought it could be in.....and 4 hours later I had gotten rid of lots of papers, sorted and organized a few things, and found what I was looking for.

I wandered down to the basement and one box of large pieces of Kaffe fabrics and my collection of light Kaffe prints was open and needing to be put away ...

Cutting a lot............ from Exuberant Color

You might have wondered why I haven't been sewing much lately. The last 5 days I worked a few hours a day cutting 80 yards of my batik colorwash fabrics into squares for stash kits for the Colorwash 360 class. I have to finish assembling and packaging the kits now.

My go-to project isn't colorful....it is another neutral batik 16 patch. I needed to cut strips for a friend so I cut enough for a bed size quilt for me too.

This container has pieces already cut for another bunch of blocks and I have 2 piles ...

A Block by Block from Sew........This Is My Blog

Our local quilt shop, Patches and Stitches, is celebrating their 40th Anniversary. One of their celebration activities is a Block by Block sew-along. (Oh, yeah, and a 40% discount on a different item or category every week. But we won't talk about that.) The owner of the shop designed a quilt using forty different block designs. Customers received block patterns two at a time as well as directions for the quilt layout. The first forty customers to return to the shop with a completed quilt, having used all forty blocks in it, received a $40 gift certificate from Patches ...

Smocking Quilt from Pieced Brain

Happy Friday! Today I have a fun pattern for you to work on - it is called Smocking which can be downloaded from Annie's Craft Store. This quilt measures 53" x 73" and the blocks finish at 10". The blocks are easy to make and the project comes together very quickly.

Sunday Stash July 29, 2018 from Quilt Paint Create

Another busy week all around and more changes to the numbers.
I had fabric out for the finish shown in the previous post.
I also had fabric in. Last summer my art quilt group entered a group piece in a local quilt show and took best of class, which came with $50 of prize money. We debated what to do with the money and decided to purchase enough of this fabric for everyone to get a half yard.
It’s a graduated batik. There is a group challenge to make something using this fabric. I won’t get to it ...

Island Batik Modern Challenge from Sew Incredibly Crazy

I am squeezing under the deadline for

the Modern Batik Challenge.

As an

I was provided all the fabrics for the quilt

This again was a huge challenge for me.

I then searched through my beautiful box

of Island Batik fabrics and

came up with this.

I used a huge array from the Paisley Dot

collection. Some of the colors included Bermuda Spot,

Samba Quilt pattern from Pieced Brain

Free pattern alert! This is Samba, the pattern I designed for Timeless Treasures' amazing batik collection called "Tonga Rio". When I think of Rio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the first thing that comes to mind is Carnival: lots of dancing, fast music with meaningful lyrics, bright and colorful costumes... so I wanted to come up with a quilt that featured as many fabrics from the collection as possible - all the colors we see during the Carnival parade - and had a design with lots of movement to it.

The quilt measures 72.5" x 86.5" and the blocks finish at ...

Summer School Quilt from The Cutting Table Quilt Blog - A Blog for Quilters by Quilters

From rice-sized gobies to whale sharks as long as two school buses, the ocean is filled with an incredible variety of creatures. Some travel in schools of up to 3 billion fish. Some “walk” on land. Some live for centuries.

But of all the fish in the sea, my very favorites are created with needle and thread. In this week’s new tutorial, Jenny demonstrates how to whip up a sea full of pretty fishes in every color of the rainbow. Click HERE to watch the tutorial!

Split Rail Quilts from the Renters from Quilted Joy

Split rails are a type of quilt that involves a set of strips cut into a square to form a block. The arrangement and orientation of those blocks then forms the design of the quilt. As simple as this may sound and as easy as they are to create, the designs and the options you have are many and quite beautiful. The following quilts are different ideas on ways you can vary and make a split rail to reflect your own creativity.

Margie took her split rail blocks and surrounded them with sashing. She also alternated their orientation horizontally and ...
