Charity quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

This is one of the quilts I made using blocks made with the 2.5" by 4.5" bricks. The blocks finish at 12" so nine of them makes a great charity quilt.
I didn't add borders because the top would end up wider than the backing fabric without piecing. If I don't have piece a backing, I won't.  

I dropped these off with Annapolis Quilts for Kids in October.

Die Cutting the Leftovers from Becca's Crazy Projects

When I trim a charity quilt, I set aside the trimmings in this bin. It is overflowing with scrappy goodness. 
I decided to do some sorting by size. 
My goal was to cut some of those leftovers into usable pieces. I sorted the scraps into some general sizes. These sizes become binding, borders, and blocks. 
Then I sat down with my biggest leftovers, in this case the pieces that could easily be cut into 6.5" squares. These are the easiest to make into a charity quilt quickly. Thirty squares sewn in five rows of six squares and you almost ...

I love this quilt so much! from Moda Lissa

Fall Quilt Magic 

There’s a distinct magic in the air that can only mean one thing – fall has arrived or kind of. We are finally experiencing a relief from the extreme heat in Texas. We can’t wait to cozy up, to savor the simple pleasures, and to find warmth in the midst of nature’s gentle descent into winter. What better way to capture the feeling of fall than by pulling out quilts and decorating for the season.

In a world filled with mass-produced items, there’s an undeniable charm in creating something with our own hands. A ...

I found a great tutorial to make some fun blocks using 2.5" strips. It just so happened, I had a collection of suitable strips. The pattern is Stashbuster #7: Color Slat, by Just Get It Done Quilts. 
I used fifteen blocks to make the center of the quilt and added a 1" inner border and a 3" outer border. This brings the quilt up to about 38" by 44" which is pretty standard for a Quilts for Kids quilt. I see more of these in my future.

hollow nine and sashing from Making A Lather

I have time with my rainbow scrap challenge sewing, this month, to start assembly for my hollow nine quilt. I decided I wanted to cut a 2 inch strip for each of the sashings. I have 27 blocks, and my goal was 25, so I am good to go. I was able to add sashings to all the blocks at my Friday sew. They are such colorful blocks. I really like them together.


I put 2 rows together and then, thought, I better lay them all out, and, decide on color placement, before I move on with more rows. I ...

irish chain finish from Making A Lather

Triple irish chain is now a finished UFO quilt from my 5 quilt project. I started this in 2012. The top just needed borders in 2017, and, then, has waited it's turn on the longarm. I really like 30's prints and colors. I think that is what drew me back into quilting. Around here, 30s quilts were mostly what we could find at antique stores.  When I was a young quilter, I admired the work and dedication to make quilts during such a difficult time period.

84 x104 = 24 yards


I used a wide flannel backing and swirls ...
