This Birds on a wire Quilt Block is such a fun two-color quilt block to play with! It is fairly simple to make, and the construction is designed so that the wire is pieced last, which makes for a straight wire. No tiny piecing to make sure parts of the wire line up! You can […]

It has all of my favorite hamburger toppings – lettuce, tomato, and cheese (of course!). After quilting, if you like, you can add some french knots […]

Summer time is a great time to travel – or at least dream of traveling! That’s why I’ve come together with some of my quilting friends to share with you a series of travel-themed quilt blocks. The block I created is the Erasmus Bridge. I knew I wanted to make a bridge block, and the […]

When looking for windmill quilt blocks, most of the blocks I found were more “pinwheel” than windmill. With this month’s theme being “International,” I wanted a windmill quilt block that looked like it could be a “molen” on the “polder.” I had so much fun with this “spin” on the International theme… be sure to […]

This month’s free quilt block theme is graduation.

You can use the negative space to the left of the ribbon to include the […]
