Make this Easy Rainbow Quilt from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

Happy New Year!!! Yes, I am a little late on these well wishes but I got sick on that day and my day job has been keeping me way too busy. I did sneak in some planning for the new year. All of this has kept me on my toes. Since my mind has been circling around the idea of renewal, resetting, and new goals I remembered something… I just realized I haven’t shared my Color Turn Quilt Pattern here or put it in my shop yet. The Color Turn Quilt Pattern is my take on a modern rainbow ...

All Quilt Projects, Great and Small from Quilting Studio Adventures

The end of the year means two things: wrapping up current projects and planning projects for 2024. Sew Powerful purses are at the top of the 2024 list. But I cannot stop myself from starting new quilts. Look at this pattern by Robin Pickens. The first real modern design I did was Double Plus Good by Rossi Hutchinson, back in 2009. And look where I am today with Definite Plus, another plus quilt! Its hard to see the jelly roll next to a cream and grey, but these are the fabrics for this quilt. It's snowy and a major ...

Projects - Past, Present, and Future from Quilting Studio Adventures

This is an organizational post. I’m losing track of what I’ve done, what I’m working on, and what I want to do. I loved so much how the small backpack - Sew Sweetness Park Sloan pattern - turned out that I made the bigger version. What I’ve discovered is that this bag is not cross body for me - instead it is over one shoulder, which works fine. The other discovery is that unlike other back packs, this one is not meant to carry heavy books. It can. But my great niece is using hers as a dance bag ...

Part 6 -- Dresden Star Tutorials from Quilting through Rose-colored Trifocals!

Time to share the last steps -- adding borders and some quilting ideas!

I added three borders to my finished top -- first border is the background fabric and cut 2" wide to finish at 1 1/2". Second border used up all my leftovers from the layer cake (plus a couple add-ins because it was pretty tight) -- it's cut 3" wide to finish at 2 1/2". The third border is the background fabric and cut 4" wide to finish at 3 1/2" wide.

The layer cake leftovers could be pieced together with straight seams but for the fun ...

Another Rug Finished from Alamosa Quilter

Despite the assistance of my feline "helper," I was able to finish a second rug last weekend.

Ms. Spooky Boo (a cat) "helping" me sew the rug

I was a little uncomfortable with how close her tail was to the needle, but we managed! Here is the finished rug. It's the original Jelly Roll Rug pattern.

finished jelly roll rug using Night Breeze 2 1/2" strips

I used one of the new packages of 2 1/2" strips I've gotten in my shop recently from Wilmington Fabrics. What I like about Wilmington is that they have pre-cuts that are collection specific just like most other fabric companies, but they also have pre-cuts that are color specific. None of ...

Part 5 -- Dresden Star Tutorials from Quilting through Rose-colored Trifocals!

My blocks are finished!!

Time to set them into the quilt top!

For the lap robe size, I'm setting the rows horizontal -- for the crib size in the pattern, I set the rows vertical. Here, I cropped the photo of my current quilt and rotated it 90 degrees to illustrate that option.

NOTE: There are some other setting options that might appeal to you for hexagon shaped star blocks from a sew-along I did here on the blog in 2014 -- you can review them HERE.

How is piecing the Dresden Star blocks going for you?

It's very quiet out there so I'm assuming I'm doing such a great job on the tutorials that there is no need for questions or you are all just watching me do this??

Whichever it is, I'm having a good time and making steady progress. I have 13 finished star blocks and 4 half-blocks in preparation for today's post.

Today, I'll cover making the half-blocks and cutting the setting triangles in preparation for

Part 3 -- Dresden Stars Tutorials from Quilting through Rose-colored Trifocals!

Are you ready to give this block a try? Today's tutorial is long but full of pictures which I hope will make it easy to follow. Read all the way through it first, then sew through it slowly. If you don't "get it", just do it and it will make sense as you finish the first block. If you didn't pull out a UFO for "leaders/enders" (I know you have at least one), do that before you start to sew. Not only will it make the rhythm of the process smoother, it will be a win-win ...

Part 2 -- Dresden Stars Tutorials from Quilting through Rose-colored Trifocals!

Are you ready?

Today, I'll review the templates and cutting.

For one block, you need six pairs of blades, six kites, six background diamonds and a 1" finished hexagon to applique to the center (I'll cover preparing the hexagon in Part 3).

Let's start with a look at the templates to use.

The last page of the pattern has the three pattern pieces drafted without seam allowances and was done in a response for requests from students wanting to hand piece the block or English paper piece. These can be used to make rotary cutting templates if ...

Dresden Stars -- a Tutorial Series from Quilting through Rose-colored Trifocals!

In 2015, another shop owner showed me a vintage quilt with a unique six-pointed star block I had never seen. I took pictures and set out to discover the name and source of the block. But alas, I could not find anything. I was mid-stream in my obsession with six-pointed stars and "needed" to piece that block so I figured it out from scratch. It was so much easier to piece than I expect that I wrote my pattern, Dresden Stars to share what I figured out with others.

Fast forward to the pandemic (why does that sound so wrong ...

orange diffusion from Making A Lather

Orange is the color for the rainbow scrap challenge in May, and, it is a great color for my fall quilt project, diffusion. Diffusion is a quilted twins free pattern. I still haven't decided if I am graduating the background color, yet. But, I can still make 9 patches, and, decide later. I am making my 9 patches using 2 inch strips. It wasn't hard to find orangey little scraps. Finding longer ones, was the problem. Still, I spent a lovely morning sewing strip sets, until, I had a large pile.

I am grateful to have an accuquilt ...

fishy from Making A Lather

I made 25 orange fish school blocks for May's rainbow scrap challenge. I am aiming for 320. I am a 2/3 of the way there.

Hubby found this neat mushroom outback, and, we had a yummy mess of mushroom for dinner. We have never collected this before, and it was huge.
