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 ...

Good Morning Quilters!

Today is Memorial Day (which was called Decoration Day years ago.)

I remember when I was a child my brother and I would decorate our bicycles with red, white and blue crepe paper and ride in the parade that ended at the town cemetery. The ceremony at the cemetery, included speeches, prayers, taps, and a 21 gun salute. My father wore his WWII uniform, and would be proud that it still fit. I would guess this memory was from the mid 1950s, as I was 10 years old in 1953.

Here is a small quilt that I ...

Glory Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

If you've been following along with me

on Instagram you may have seen a simple

star/flag quilt I made in July. I finally got it bound and

photographed so I want to share the details

with you today.

In June of this year, I took a trip to McCall, ID, and happened

upon a really incredible quilt shop called,

J. Beck Home. I was inspired by the red, white, and blue

fabrics and vintage quilts there and ended up

buying most of the above fabrics. I had something like this

design floating around in my head for what ...

Design Wall Monday - February 21, 2022 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Good Morning Quilters! This past week has been bitter sweet here, as my only sister passed away on Wednesday. She went peacefully as I held her hand, and I was so honored to care for her during her final days here on earth. I am sure she is in heaven, enjoying a new life there. Her funeral is tomorrow, and quilting will again take a back seat for another week. Thank you all for your prayers for her and for our family.

The only thing “quilt” related this week was a purchase: I bought some blue buttons from a friend ...
