Sew Delightful from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I have a new/old pattern I want to share with you!

It's the red pattern from my book, Quilt the Rainbow. That book is out of print now

so I am trying to release all of the patterns from it as stand-alone patterns.

(It was such a bummer that Martingale Publishing went out of business

right after they published Quilt the Rainbow due to ramifications from the Covid-19 Pandemic.)

I didn't get a chance to talk about the patterns in the book very much because

I didn't have anywhere to send people to ...

Oh Scrap! : Delivery by Wilma from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This was a great week for Many Hands and Many Hearts. We have TWO new longarm quilters joining our volunteer ranks. One is even ready to do a couple a week for us.

So, I have been spending this week trying to get backs pieced, batting cut and (for some) binding prepped. How many? I am prepping up for 19 quilts! Needless to say,
I don't have anything scrappy to share today.

But I do have some finished quilts to share. Wilma lives in the Sacramento area and was planning a trip north with some friends. They offered to ...

Lulu Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Today I want to share a quilt that is kind of special to me!

I made it at the end of 2025, but just barely finished the binding.

This is my Lulu quilt pattern, which is based on an antique quilt I once saw.

I designed it in 2016 and have made a few Lulu quilts since then.

It may just be one of the simplest patterns I've designed. It's perfect if you need a quick make!

It comes with 2 size options - lap and twin. This is the lap size.

It finishes at 48" x 64".

It ...

Flora's Baskets (Scrappy Version) - Finished Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

In March of 2023, I shared details about a new quilt I was starting - a scrappy version of my

Flora's Basket quilt. Click HERE to check out that post where I share the inspiration behind the pattern + the cutting instructions for making your own Flora's Basket blocks. You really should check it out, not only for the cutting instructions but the antique quilt that inspired my pattern - is gorgeous!

Wow. Has it really been 3 years since I started this quilt? Some quilts just take time, I guess.

Well today I want to share the details of the ...

Vintage Valentine is a timeless heart pattern that is fat eighth/fat quarter friendly

Color Play Finished Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

A couple of years ago, my dear friend lost a child. I wanted to do something to let her know of

my love and to brighten her day just a little, so I gave her my original Color Play quilt (below).

It was made out of Riley Blake Confetti Cotton Solids and was very bright and happy.

I thought it suited my friend perfectly.

Fast forward to January of this year, I decided to make a new Color Play quilt for my home

in earthy, fall colors. I found these two prints (below) at the Quilter's Lodge in Draper ...

Honey Locust Checkered Spools Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

I recently finished a new quilt called Checkered Spools.

I designed this pattern to go along with my new fabric collection

with Riley Blake Designs called Honey Locust, which is in stores now.

All you need for the quilt top is a Rolie Polie (a bundle of forty-two 2-1/2" x 42" strips),

background fabric and some yardage for the tops and bottoms of the spools.

I used this sky daisy print for the background.

I used the brown and blue hydrangea print for the binding.

And the other two browns (posies and patchwork) were used

for the top and ...

Red, White, and Blue Checkered Spools Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

If you've been around here much, you know

I am a sucker for red, white, and blue quilts!

I was making my Honey Locust Checkered Spools quilt in June and

I just kept envisioning it in red, white, and blue! So I just had to scratch that itch!

I had the white background fabric in my stash. I actually designed that print for

the Riley Blake Designs Hush Hush 4 collection. It was originally a creamy background

with tan stars and they reprinted it in white for their Lights On 2 collection.

The print is called Seeing Stars. I ...

Winding Ways Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I want to share a quilt I finished earlier this year called Winding Ways. I started this quilt in July of 2023. Around that time, I had mentioned to some friends that I wanted to get better at curved piecing. One of them happened to have an Accuquilt Die Cut machine + dies for the Winding Ways pattern. She offered to let us all use it, and well, here we are!

This was my color palette. I got all of my fabrics (including my backing and binding fabrics) at Harmony in Provo, Utah. It's one of my ...

A Double Wedding Ring quilt from Flying Parrot Quilts

Now that she has received it (several months late), I can finally post pictures of the wedding quilt I made for a dear friend from college!

Obviously, I wanted to make her a double wedding ring quilt! I haven’t seen her in a while, but she told me that her home was decorated in reds and blacks/grays, so I settled on black rings with red inside the melon shapes and a white background.

In order to make things go a little more quickly, I decided not to piece the arcs, and just make them a black solid. I ...

Half-Square Triangle Baby Quilts from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today, I have two more really simple baby quilts that I want to share with you! Last week I shared a simple patchwork quilt. And this week, I have two Half-Square Triangle quilts that I recently gifted to two new mommas in my neighborhood. Both had baby girls! It's such a joy to spread the {quilty} love!

(Sidenote: I finished all 3 of these quilts a few months ago and I'm just now getting around to blogging about them. Just wanted you to know that I didn't whip all of them up this past week ...

Simple Blue and White Patchwork Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Who said a quilt has to be intricate or time-consuming to make!?

Not me! I love simple patchwork!

I had some blues leftover from a few projects recently

so I decided to cut them into 3 1/2" squares for a simple lap-size quilt.

I did a 17 x 21 block layout, so this quilt finished at 51" x 63".
I think it would be perfect for a little boy.

Jen Ostler in Highland, UT. quilted it for me with this panto called Ripple. I've used that panto before and think it adds some nice movement to a very ...

Two more finishes from Elsie Quilts

These are simple and easy. One is a panel growth chart and the other a combo of two blocks. Both used up some scraps, which makes me smile. I've another growth chart panel on the long arm. It might be done by the end of the day. It is only 11 am and only two interruptions so far!

Color is awful on this first one. It is a medium blue, not nearly as dark as this. The name, "Stuffies in Pale Moonlight" tells more about the colors and the lighter fabric. . . lots of teddy bears, etc. on it. It ...

United Quilt in Solids from A Little Bit Biased

Hi there! I'm popping on really quick to share a quilt I said I would share.
This is my United quilt pattern and I finished this particular version in 2021.

I have two other versions that you can see HERE and HERE.

I decided to make this bright and happy version because I had a lot of solids in my stash that I wanted to use up. I also think it's fun to try out different color palettes to see how different a pattern can look. I had fun putting together different color combinations for the flags and ...

» Elsie Quilts

Lots of snow outside means lots of time inside to get a few things done. Here are three.

First is another charity for Basically Babies. "Monkeying around with a Giraffe" is just a simple panel. The dark binding set it off. I quilted it with a panto called "Amour" with big swirly hearts.

This "Blue-Green Blends" uses the same panto. It is a lap quilt size and still, I have more blue scraps. They must multiply in the night when I'm not looking!

The color in this photo is way off. It is very blue and green, a tiny ...

Trip Around the World Quilt + Free Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

I loved the backing fabric from my Dawn's Delight quilt so much that I immediately wanted to use the leftovers in another quilt. It's the black floral fabric I circled below and the biggest square I could cut from the leftovers was 4". So what's a pattern that you can basically use any size square for? The classic Trip Around the World pattern! I had never made one but now I'm obsessed and would love to make more!

I mocked up a Trip Around the World quilt with my Electric Quilt software and asked a friend ...

Dawn's Delight Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hello! Today I am sharing a recent quilt finish that I made just for fun!

But first I want to share with you the inspiration behind this project. This color palette was inspired by someone I follow on Instagram named Jerina (her Instagram handle is @quiet.sanctuary). She is a beautiful soul who shares her heart in every post! She shares her love of crochet, quilts, antiques, family and sourdough bread! Plus, she is an amazing photographer and writer.

Friendship Star Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hello! In December I shared a cutting chart + instructions for the Friendship Star quilt block in 6 different sizes. Today I want to share with you the finished quilt that prompted that post.

A few months ago in my local quilt group, we had a member who fell and broke both of her wrists. Some of us in the group thought it would be nice to make her a quilt to show her a little extra love during that difficult time. We decided to use the simple, classic Friendship block because of its name and we asked everyone who wanted ...

Scrappy Brick Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Good morning!

I have another scrap-buster quilt

to share with you today.

It's a brick-style quilt. Have you made one of those before?

It was my first time doing one and you can't

get any easier than this pattern right here!

I was using up scraps leftover from my Kaleidoscope quilt

which you can see HERE. I ended up cutting some more rectangles

from my stash and scraps to make it a little bigger though.

I cut 3" x 9" for the main rectangles and 3" x 4-3/4" rectangles for the half-rectangles.

The finished size of this ...

Scrap Happy Quilt Tutorial from A Little Bit Biased

This next project I want to share with you is such a great scrapbuster!

I saw a quilt like it at my friend's mother's house and knew it would be such a fun project

so I just had to make one too!

Here's a brief description of how to make this beginner-friendly quilt:

1. Gather a bunch of 4-1/2" wide scraps (they can be any length you want).

I cut mine anywhere from 1-1/2" to about 5-6" in length.

2. Sew them into one long strip. Press the seam allowances open.

3. Cut that strip ...
