Red, White, and Blue Scrapology Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Around Memorial Day of this year, I decided to make a red, white, and blue version of my Scrapology pattern! It was such a fun, scrappy project that I thoroughly enjoyed making! It was a great way to kick off summer, all the patriotic holidays, and America's 250th birthday!

Let me tell you the backstory about this pattern. It was originally in my book, Quilt the Rainbow,

which came out in 2022. (It was the pink quilt.)

Unfortunately, my publishing company (Martingale Publishing) went out of business about a year later, so I didn't really have a place ...

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 ...

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 in Confetti Cotton Solids from A Little Bit Biased

I really meant to post about my original Vintage Valentine quilt before Valentine's Day! Such a bummer that I totally spaced that!!! Is anyone still working on heart quilts? I'm about to start a winter/Christmas quilt...so maybe!?!

I designed this new pattern for a few reasons...

1.) I wanted a timeless (somewhat easy) heart pattern for myself and others. I've designed a few heart quilts over the years and seem to always be chasing the "perfect" heart quilt pattern. Mine are all so different, though, so I guess it just depends on what speaks to ...

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

Solids) and a darker version that I'll be sharing ...

A Not-So-Scrappy Scrap Jar Stars Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! I'm happy to share a recent quilt finish with you today!

I made this just for fun as I thought it would be beautiful in my own home.

Towards the end of August 2025, I got a wild hair to take one of my most popular patterns,

Scrap Jar Stars and make it not-so-scrappy! I love two-color quilts and thought it would

be fun to see a simplified, timeless version it!

It was love at first block! And it brings me so much joy every time I look this quilt because

all of the fabrics are fabrics ...

Every Which Way - Updated Pattern! from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I'm excited to share a sweet little baby quilt that I made recently.

I made this quilt for one of my nieces who just had the most darling baby boy!

Her mom told me she likes "earthy" colors so I picked out this color palette of

blues, greens, blacks, browns, and oranges. The prints are masculine and

geometric. There are even some wovens and a chambray to add a little texture.

All of the fabrics came from my stash! I love when I can do that!

I used my Every Which Way pattern, which was one ...

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 ...

Honey Locust Ironing Board Cover from A Little Bit Biased

Now that my new fabric collection, Honey Locust, has shipped to stores, I am busy making all the things! The first project I made was a quick one using the Echelons Cheater Print.

I whipped up a new ironing board cover (I know, I know, I just made one with my last cheater print), but I couldn't help myself! It's such a quick project, and I thought these softer colors would go beautifully in my sewing room.

THIS is the tutorial I use to make ironing board covers. I've shared it many times before.

Honey Locust - My New Fabric Collection! from A Little Bit Biased

About a year and a half ago, I began working on my newest fabric collection with Riley Blake Designs. It's called Honey Locust, and I am happy to announce that it has finally shipped to stores!

Honey Locust is an homage to my grandparents, who lived in a cute little house on Locust Avenue in Pleasant Grove, Utah, for many years. Before that, they lived in Laie, Hawaii for 25 years. My grandpa was a cowboy and a history professor. My grandma was a quilter and a homemaker. Their home in Pleasant Grove was on the historic registry, and ...

The Original United Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Introducing...my United quilt! This is one of the most special quilts I own! Many hands went into making it. It was completed in 2020 so this blog post is long overdue! Keep reading to hear the story behind this quilt...

I am sure you would all agree that 2020 was a rough year for humanity. At the beginning of the year, people started to realize we had a terrifying worldwide Covid-19 pandemic on our hands. Then, a few months later George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis, MN. police officer. Riots ensued and cities across the country burned. All ...

Feels Like Home Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Anyone else feeling like they need to finish a few projects before the end of the year? I've got about

3-1/2 quilts to bind so I'll be watching all the Christmas movies for the next two weeks while I try to get those finished! I watched Haul Out the Holly on Netflix while finishing the binding on my Feels Like Home quilt. It was a cute movie about a town that is over-the-top festive and a girl...who is not!

Scrappy Holidays Quilt Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

I'm so excited to share a new quilt pattern with you today!
It's called Scrappy Holidays and it's available just in time for some festive holiday sewing! I love working on Christmas quilts when it's cold (and preferably snowing outside)! It's so cozy and sort of nostalgic in a way!

Scrappy Holidays finishes at 68" x 84" and is scrap-friendly.

The skill level is intermediate because there are some little pieces on the stockings and stars. Plus, there are some different triangles throughout. BUT, it's really not too bad, I promise!

When you make ...

Gigi's Quilt: A New Pattern from A Little Bit Biased

Hello, hello! Today I have a fun new pattern I want to share with you! It's a sentimental one for me.

It's called Gigi's Quilt and was inspired by one of my grandmother's quits.

This is my grandmother, Delma Baldridge (circa 1960).

She taught me how to quilt; we had a special bond. She had a Churn Dash quilt that I always admired. I loved the classic block, the scrappy red and blue color palette, and the Baptist Fan hand quilting.

Several months ago, I wanted to design a quilt pattern in honor of my grandma ...

Welcome Wreath: a 2-Color Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hi there! This past month has been a whirlwind with my nephew's wedding in Montana, kids home from college, and out-of-towners staying with us here and there. It's been fun and I've loved every minute! But now things are slowing down and I want to share a quilt I finished a little while ago.

Back in May, I had the idea to make my new pattern, Welcome Wreath in a 2-color version.

You can check out the original, colorful version HERE.

I mocked up a few samples of 2-color Welcome Wreath quits and liked them! So I ...
