I Like Thursday ~ United In Sewing from Life in the Scrapatch

United.

I saw this quilt and a block exchange on Instagram yesterday.

I have not done a block exchange in many years.

I still have many lovely blocks from many fun block swaps over the years

that are waiting to become finished quilts,

so I had thought I was retired from swapping.

Then I saw this ...

Another Boxy Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

I started this quilt on March 9th, 2022 and just finished

it yesterday, June 1st, 2022. I somehow even talked my husband into going

into the hills by our house yesterday to help me get some photos.

This is my second Boxy quilt. It's such a quick, easy pattern to make!

The first one I made was in really bright fabrics so I wanted

to see what a softer version would look like.

Plus I had these two Dover charm packs (by Brenda Riddle Designs for Moda)

in my stash that I ...

Summer Stars Quilt Bee Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

I finally got some pictures of my finished New Friends Quilt Bee quilt

and today, I'd like to share all the details of this project with you!

In January of 2021, I reached out to a bunch of people on

Instagram and asked them if they wanted to join a quilt bee with me.

Some said yes and some said no. In the end, I got 9 people

that wanted to join - for a total of 10 people including me.

I think there are usually 12 people in this kind of bee but I

thought 10 was okay so ...

Boxy - A New Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends!

I have a new pattern I wanted to tell you about today.

Meet Boxy:

Boxy is a 5" square-friendly pattern that is very beginner-friendly!

It's a great way to use up some of those random charm packs you

probably have in your stash!

It comes with instructions for 3 size options - Twin, Queen, and King!

This is the twin size. It would be a great quilt for gifting

as it is pretty quick to put together and would look great in any

color scheme!

I cut 5" squares from my stash for the main prints and then ...

Plain and Simple (a new pattern) from A Little Bit Biased

Look at me, blogging twice in one week! Who am I?!?

It's just that I have another new pattern to share with you!

I'd like to introduce you to Plain and Simple.

I had the opportunity to design a pattern with fabric from the

Daisy Mae fabric line by Poppie Cotton. It was interesting designing

a pattern with just THREE fabrics! That's so not like me!

But it was a fun challenge trying to come up with a pattern for them; I love the way it

it turned out and now I want to make Plain and ...

Stash Hash (a new pattern) from A Little Bit Biased

Good morning friends!

Today I'd like to introduce to you my new pattern called Stash Hash!

I made the first star back in February 2019! I had no plan for it. I just knew I wanted to

make pretty stars to use up scraps. One star turned into two, then three, then the quarantine

happened and bam! I had lots of sewing time on my hands and decided to finish what I started!

I had a blast making each star. It was fun pulling from my scraps and stash

to see each different colored star come together. Scrappy, stars ...
