Something Old, Something New - The Return Of Supernova! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

We have arrived at the last week of this year's tutorial series, and I've saved the best for last - Supernova! This quilt has, hands-down, been my most popular. I have pictures of the design made by so many people from Instagram and each is wonderfully unique! I've personally made it at least six times, including a mini version using bonus triangles from another project....

The trick to making this quilt a wonderful experience for yourself is to take the time to square up your half-square triangles. I know it's a hassle, but you will ...

Something Old, Something New - Pulling My Heart Strings! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Have I ever mentioned that we have some great scrap quilters here in Tennessee? And one of my favorites is Tracy of Tracy's Bits N Pieces. We met several years ago at a Jen Kingwell trunk show in Nashville, and I've followed her on Instagram (@tracysbitsnpieces) ever since. Her feed is a constant source of inspiration! So when I saw this quilt pop up....

...I was (a) immediately enchanted, and (b) messaging Tracy to see if she minded if I created my own version for this tutorial series! She graciously agreed, and suggested that I check ...

Something Old, Something New - A Modern Irish! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

When I was planning out these tutorials, I thought I remembered stashing away all the pieces for a second quilt like this one...

...but lo and behold, my memory was faulty and the pieces I had stashed away were for a different red and white quilt! But by then I had already committed mentally, so I decided to make it again, but in a different color. This is a great sixteen-patch quilt that is so much easier than it looks!

Sixteen-patch blocks are so very versatile - lots of ways to arrange the fabrics to achieve a different look ...

Something Old, Something New - Hearts for Valentine's Day! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

I'm so glad you're back for another week of the Something Old Something New tutorials! This week's quilt design is very appropriate for the holiday - hearts for Valentine's Day! I'm killing two birds with one stone with this quilt, as my niece requested this design for her new daughter's baby quilt. When I started looking at the picture she sent me and planning it out, I realized this would be a super simple quilt to make, and thus, perfect for this year's tutorial series.

So without further ado, let's get ...

Something Old, Something New - And We're Starting With Something New! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, finally, as promised, today starts this year's tutorial series. I thought this year I would go back and revisit some of the most-loved tutorials from past years, plus add in a few new simple designs too! I think we'll call this year's series Something Old, Something New. That seems appropriate! For those of you new to the blog, these quilts will be simple designs that can be easily worked up for charity or comfort quilts. We'll have one each Sunday for the next five or six weeks, depending on how many designs I ...
