Betsy's Blessing Tutorial Part Two from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

In between working on the BOM for Marcus Fabrics, I've been working on Betsy's Blessing. I still haven't decided how big or small I'm going to make this cutie.

You have to make a lot of strip sets, and half-square triangles for this little block.

I have a basket full of parts and pieces to make another 20 or so blocks.

Here's a tutorial to make the little sashing stars.

You will begin by cutting the following to make the sashing units.

Happiest of New Year's to YOU! from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm going to dig out one of my many UFO's, Betsy's Blessing, and enjoy working on it again. I will be churning out Churn Dash blocks while I'm watching the College Football Bowl games.

I love these little blocks! I'm only using my stash of Betsy Chutchian fabrics, since they all work so well together. I put a little tutorial together which you can locate by clicking HERE.

So, dear readers, 2020 is now in our rear view mirror, and it's time for a reboot. What lessons did we learn from ...

Betsy's Blessing Blocks from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I put about 30 of these little blocks together last week. It is a very simple Churn Dash block using only scraps from my bin full of Betsy Chutchian fabrics.

I'll put a tutorial together this week for the sashing section. The sashing finishes at 1". The little red stars are going to twinkle across the wall hanging or tabletopper.

I can see an entire bed quilt comprised of these cute blocks.....one of these days. I have only 6 more blocks to put together to make this complete. I like to occasionally make a small project ...

Cutie Patootie Blocks from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

It was a great day yesterday making these cute little blocks.

By the end of the day, I had a nice pile of thirty blocks. The HST, and strip sets were already made. I just had to sew the blocks together.

I cut, and made some sashing sections, and I like the look. I'm going to stick with this setting.

It's my turn to cook this morning for our mini-retreat of three people, so I have to scoot and tie my apron on.

Soon,
Lynn

Mini Retreat Preparations from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

What do you think of this cute little block that will finish at 4-1/2"?

This block came about when I started preparations for a mini retreat next week. I got out my collection of Betsy Chutchian fabrics which I call my "Betsy Bin". I like to keep certain collections all together in one place.

I started selecting fabrics for the triple Churn Dash block, and started making little components. All of Betsy's fabrics work so well together. I can mix and match from my fabric assortment, and know it is going to work.

I love to ...
