What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I can never get bored of putting these blocks into layout. So much movement and so many little piece of scraps that brings in memories of previous projects! Read more to see the latest progress and enjoy a few photos of these scrappy Ocean Wave blocks.

Last year, I focused on making half square triangles whenever I had scraps and a ...

I’ve made some good progress on the Dresden Bee quilt lately! This week, I managed to cut all the background pieces for the Dresden blocks, and I finally made a firm decision on the layout—always a big milestone. I’ve also figured out how I want to piece the giant Dresden block together with the scrappy [...]

I’ve been having so much fun working on a giant Dresden bee quilt using a bee collection called Honey & Lavender by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics. I first tried out the Dresden Plate Template for 10″ Squares from Missouri Star Quilt Company when I made my quilt project organizer bag which I talked about [...]

There’s something so special about seeing a quilt come to life piece by piece. And this time, I have stripy sashing to bring it all together!  I’m thrilled to share that I’ve made more progress on my pastel basket quilt which I posted about last week here, and it’s finally at the flimsy stage! I do still need to put the border on, but I’m pretty sure I’ll start quilting it soon!

The soft, delicate tones I pulled from my fat quarter stash are just as dreamy as I hoped, and seeing them all ...

Here’s what’s currently on my quilt design wall. I am almost done with all the blocks for the quilt, just another row to go and I’m ready to piece the blocks together with sashing and border. 

I started the quilt last summer together with a quilt along celebrating the Summer Memories Book by Susan Ache.  You can check out #summermemoriesqal to join along or to enjoy all the other versions. The book is an eye-candy filled with great projects and is sure to inspire you to pick up some red and blue fabrics to get started. I ...

I’m so excited to share the finished Bobbin Blooms quilt with you! This project has been a true journey from start to finish, filled with creative decisions, unexpected challenges, and plenty of joy along the way. I decided to custom quilt this piece, and while custom quilting it certainly took more time, I believe it was worth every extra moment.

The process of piecing this quilt was really enjoyable. The Bobbin Blooms pattern is well-designed, and I found it easy to follow. It’s Sew Emma’s pattern is always on point! I love their detailed, fully illustrated pattern ...

Here’s a progress post on my Bobbin Bloom quilt where I’m custom quilting it with some feathers and some grid diamond in the sashing. I had the idea to custom quilt this thinking it would be pretty quick as it is such a small quilt. 

However, I’m a little slow on this since I have a little more on my plate with demanding daily kids’ activities too. I have a couple of quilting projects that are calling me too and I guess free motion quilting will take longer days these days. But progress is always progress and ...

I’ve got some exciting updates on the Scrappy Ocean Wave Quilt! This project is truly a labor of time and love, but I’m thrilled with the progress I’m making, bit by bit. The best part is that I’m not dedicating all my time to it, which keeps the process fun and engaging. I love being able to work on multiple projects simultaneously and still see progress on each one.

I am making this Scrappy Quilt from the half-square triangles unit that I cut using the half-square triangle die I got with my Accuquilt starter kit.

There ...
