modern quilt

I posted the beginning of an improv where a boring block was chopped up and added to until it became interesting (see post here), but it was not done. So I added some 8" scrappy and wonky log cabin blocks and a few other things and wound up with this. It is 37.75" x 47.5" and the quilting is simple: mostly straight lines with a few odd lines thrown in to keep me from getting bored. This one is hanging in my sewing area and I really like it. Besides, it made a great dent in my scraps ...

Layer Cake-friendly quilt pattern from Pieced Brain

Use a package of 10″ squares on this fun Layer Cake-friendly quilt pattern. Beginner quilters will love how easy and fast it is to finish!

My High Frequency quilt is ready! It measures 56″ x 64″ and the blocks finish at 8″. I made it using one package of 10″ squares of Kaffe Fasset Collective Classic Spots by FreeSpirit Fabrics, an accent fabric, and background fabric! I love its playful and colorful vibe, don’t you?

I chose not to add borders because I wanted to focus on the quilt design. Should you wish to make a larger version of ...

One Collection - Two Quilts from Sew Preeti Quilts

Have you seen the Petal Poetry fabric collection by Island Batik from Lumin Fabrics?

Seriously, drop everything and go find this collection. If you know me, you also know that I love the bright reds, shiny golds and vibrant oranges. So when a collection that is NOT red/gold/orange/pink but still catches my eye, you know it has to be super special.

How special?

Well, I designed two separate quilts, one traditional and one modern, and they were both published in two separate magazines.

Let's Dance was published in Quilter's World.

Signal Sam from Sew Preeti Quilts

Do you remember Lula May?

The scraps leftover from Lula May became Signal Sam.

Signal Sam

Signal Sam is my response to the December Challenge which states "December brings another month to embark on your own project, regardless of its size, theme, or technique! Seize this chance to unleash your creativity without constraints. Enjoy the process!"

Leftover Strip from Lula May

There is something very satisfying about taking the scraps from a completed quilt and making a brand new one. I definitely enjoyed the process.

Loupiote Quilt - Eine Anleitung from Quiltmanufaktur

Vergangenes Jahr hatte ich das Glück, an einem sehr schönen Nähwochenende teilnehmen zu dürfen. Dazu mitgenommen hatte ich verschiedene Projekte, von denen ich eigentlich tatsächlich nur an einem aus lauter Lustgewinn gearbeitet habe. Ich hatte mir eine Menge Log Cabin 6,5" Inch FPP ausgedruckt und eine Kiste mit den bunten Reststreifen mitgenommen. So entstanden 28 fertige Log Cabin Blöcke. Die lagen jetzt annähernd ein Jahr in der Kiste rum ohne dass ich eine Idee hatte, was damit anzufangen.... Richtig Lust, weitere zu machen hatte ich nicht und die Blöcke einfach so zusammen zu nähen, war extrem zu bunt. Durch ...

Good Tidings & Austin from Sew Preeti Quilts

I have two new quilts to share.

Austin was published in Make Modern #60.

Good Tidings was published in Annie's Christmas Pattern Book.

Good Tidings

Both quilts were made using Island Batik Fabrics collection Peppermint Sprinkles.

Peppermint Sprinkles is a beautiful collection - perfect for Holiday sewing. I love that it has elements of the season such as reindeer and snowflakes but it isn't so Christmassy that the quilt/decor becomes outdated by January 1. It has year round appeal.

That was my thought process as I designed Good Tidings in EQ8. A fellow quilter/blogger once said that ...

Diva from Sew Preeti Quilts

Do you remember Diva?

Designed in EQ8, Diva was published in Make Modern Issue 58. Now, she is available as a standalone pattern in my Etsy Shop.

I made Diva using the Vintage Charm collection, combined with Island Batik Solids in Red, Orange, Yellow and Fuchsia. The focus fabric strip sets were scraps leftover from making Kashvi, but there is nothing scrappy about Diva!

Finishing at 51" by 68" she glides in royal splendor. And although you may think that she is set in her ways, she is very adaptable. I encourage you to take a look at the various ...

Quilting Retreat!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Yep -- here I am at a quilt retreat. It's a small group (intentional) and is one of the most relaxing retreats because of that! Plus, it's an excellent opportunity to catch up with friends we rarely see. After getting all the morning stuff out, I loaded the car and was on my way. I think this is our third or perhaps fourth retreat that this small group has done.

I always look at what I bring and think do I need all that, but I've cut way down on what I bring. OK - so I threw in ...

Bright Zinnia Quilt nach Lori Holt 'Farm Girl Vintage 2' from Quiltmanufaktur

Vergangenes Jahr im Herbst habe ich Paula @paula_handmade besucht und gemeinsam haben wir an einem Mosaik Workshop im @baumhaus.atelier in Echzell teilgenommen.

Quilt Too Small? from Lotus Cove Quilting

*Red and Blue shown at Durham Orange Quilters meeting, 2022*.

It’s been quite a while since I posted here. I’ll try to catch up, as I HAVE been making quilts. But today’s issue is a quilt that is too small.

In 2022, I finished a queen quilt for my own bed. All Kaffe Fassett fabrics with a bamboo batting. But both of us toss and turn all night and the sateen backing lets the quilt slide everywhere. So I’m adding new blocks to three sides.

Fortunately, old and recent Kaffe fabrics coordinate well. The quilt is ...

Nature Study is my latest quilt, published in the February 2024 American Patchwork & Quilting issue. It measures 67″ x 82″, and the blocks finish at 6″.

Window Dressing & Pattern Release from Sew Preeti Quilts

Window Dressing was published in March 2023 in Make Modern Issue #51, in the category of Prints Charming! I smile every time I read that :-)
