Scrap Happy Quilt Tutorial from A Little Bit Biased

 This next project I want to share with you is such a great scrapbuster!
I saw a quilt like it at my friend's mother's house and knew it would be such a fun project 
so I just had to make one too!


Here's a brief description of how to make this beginner-friendly quilt:

1. Gather a bunch of 4-1/2" wide scraps (they can be any length you want). 
I cut mine anywhere from 1-1/2" to about 5-6" in length.

My Marketplace Is Now Open from The Snarky Quilter

I have built up a large inventory of original quilts in a variety of styles and sizes, and would like to find new homes for them. Many languish in storage as I have a finite amount of wall display areas. To that end I have set up a For Sale page on my blog, which lists some of the pieces I am offering for sale. Sizes, styles, and prices vary; but the quilts represent a good cross section of my work. Many have been exhibited, and some have won ribbons. All have been made over the last 10 years in ...

Perspective from Humble Quilts

Happy Friday!
This week as I was eating dinner I looked up to see the light on this wedding ring quilt.  In my head I thought, "that is so beautiful."  I just had to snap a photo!


My niece (who has subsequently took over managing our "sold" part store business), shoulder came out of the socket this week. This was the "after" photo when it was back in and on some pain meds.It happened so fast, like so many medical emergencies. Good to keep a perspective on the really important things- HER for one, and others we love.

My Farmhouse Quilt - A Throw in Notting Hill! from Busy Hands Quilts

Meet the My Farmhouse quilt pattern!  My Farmhouse is a quick and easy jelly roll quilt pattern.  The pattern is strip pieced and is a great way to get your feet wet if you're new to strip piecing.

You can make the Throw size with 30 strips - less than one jelly roll!  That's great news since most jelly rolls have a few fabrics that could be left out since they blend in too much with the background, whether that be a light fabric or a dark fabric.
