August Challenge: Disappearing Nine Patch from Patchwork Sampler Blog

On August 1, which seems like ages ago, I announced charm squares as the monthly stash buster challenge. At the time, I had no plan but knew whatever I made had to come together quickly. It was Disappearing Nine Patch to the rescue. I’ve previously made a couple of these and each time thought it would be easier to simply cut the units and piece the blocks. Once again, I did not listen to that inner voice and pieced big nine-patch blocks, then cut them apart. I find it hard to keep the seams straight when cutting the blocks ...

How to Make Variable Star Blocks from Charm Squares from Patchwork Sampler Blog

Sadly, I have no Friday Finish this week. I did a fair amount of sewing but did not make it to the finish line with anything. That will definitely be corrected next week!!

I did a fair amount of quilting this week and my mind wanders when I machine quilt. I’m sure that is a contributing factor as to why I am not a good quilter. Haha! Sometimes, though, I have a thought that leads me down another rabbit hole. I thought about making variable stars from charm packs.

Remember this little table mat from last week? This is ...

My Favorite Things Fabric Tour from A Little Bit Biased

I have been a fan of Elea Lutz' designs since I first discovered her in 2015.

Her first fabric line was Milk, Sugar, and Flower (which was absolutely adorable;

I'm sad I missed out on it!) However, I did end up making a

Christmas quilt with her second fabric line, Little Joys.

Today I get to share some projects I made with her

most recent fabric line, My Favorite Things. It has that

sweet, vintage style that Elea is known for. And she is now a designer for

Poppie Cotton which I think is a match made in heaven ...

Disappearing 4-Patch Quilt: Merging the Best Instructions from Mulberry Patch Quilts

A “Disappearing 4-Patch” may look intricate and complicated, but it’s really very easy. If you can sew a simple 4-patch, you can sew this quilt.

There are many great how-to tutorials out there. I chose these two YouTube videos as my favorites—

Jenny at the Missouri Star Quilt Company and

Laura Ann Cioa at Sew Very Easy.

After watching both, I decided to “merge” their info together to make my own Disappearing 4-Patch. Here’s how…

Jenny (MSQC) has you use a charm pack in her version, while Laura (Sew Very Easy) has you cut larger squares from fat ...

Friday Finish: The Neighborhood Quilt from Patchwork Sampler Blog

This week’s Friday Finish is The Neighborhood Quilt. This was a quick and easy quilt and I just love how it turned out. The pattern is “The Neighborhood” (of course!) by Villa Rosa Designs. You can find the pattern here and it is available as a pdf download or a little “Rose Card.”

This pattern uses two charm packs plus background, border and binding fabrics. All of my fabric is from Moda’s Quotation line by Zen Chic. The fabrics I used are in my little Etsy shop here. The background, an off-white with gray and black dots is ...

Vintage Holiday Charm Quilt and Christmas Cleanup from Podunk Pretties

Back in September of this year my 7 yr. old granddaughter came to stay with us for a couple of weeks. She's full spunk and is quite the creative little gal. So when she showed an interest in learning to sew I thought a simple charm quilt would be the perfect project. I was wrong and I ended up finishing up this quilt with the Vintage Holiday charm packs she chose from my stash.

I'm not a big fan of themed or novelty prints. But this line of Christmas fabrics was simple and really doesn't scream novelty ...

Masked Hexagons, Part II: A English Paper Piecing Variation from Gefilte Quilt

Help!

I'm going nuts making masks!

These are a few of my new masked hexagons, made from the scraps of face masks I've been sewing since March. In my last installment, here, I described how I made these hexies, using conventional English Paper Piecing techniques. At the time, I had only made about 35 hexagons.

Since then, I've made many more masks to donate - I'm closing in on 1,000 masks - and about 40 more masked hexagons. So here's the finished quilt, with a total of 73 masked hexagons, all socially distanced. My free, revised ...

Masked Hexagons, Socially Distanced: An English Paper Pieced Mystery Scrap Quilt from Gefilte Quilt

If you are one of the thousands of quilters giving time and fabric to make lifesaving masks, thank you. For me, making masks is not only a good deed, but a powerful way to reduce anxiety in a tragic time.

You may also be putting mask scraps aside, to someday make a quilt. Here’s one idea that you can work on as you continue to make masks:

And here's what it would have looked like on white:

It's not finished - it's just a top - because as I continue to make masks, I will grow it. The ...

Charm Quilts from Ann Quilts

Well, I think this is a great topic for this put-a-new-calendar-on-the-wall and make-those-happy-wishes time of year.

Charm quilts, as the name indicates, are made with thoughts of good luck in mind. I'd heard the folklore that the magic happens because each piece is a unique fabric....but if one and only one fabric has been used twice, the quilt has a special magic. So that's what I did. My charm quilts were made for my babies because, as a quilter, I of course had to make them each a very special quilt.

I am prompted to think about ...

Design Wall Monday - October 7, 2019 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Good morning quilters! This week I have been working more on "Doll Delicious", the doll quilt to go with my large quilt named "Red Delicious". Thanks to Annie of "Annie's Quilt Orts" blog for naming the doll quilt. I like the name. I have 68 apple core pieces together and will finish it at 100 pieces soon. Since it is hand sewn, it is a good "take with" project. Here is a

Moxi Charm Baby Quilt {Finished Quilt} from Little Bunny Quilts

After the short detour as a result of running out of thread, I finished my Four Squared baby quilt!

Once my thread arrived, I was able to finish up the quilting in about five minutes!

For the binding, I used the leftover fabric from the backing. I like to cut a 2.25" binding, and for this quilt, I sewed the binding to the front by machine and hand stitched it to the back.

I really am wishing that I would have had another charm pack or two to make this quilt bigger and keep it for myself! But I ...
