Finishing a Stack N Whack from Jean's Quilting Page



 
I've been working on getting some oldies but goodies quilted and finished this year. I made several Stack N Whack from Bethany Reynold's book and taught the technique in classes, but never got this Lemoyne Star top finished.




I know a lot of quilters make lists of UFOs and tick them off as they go. I like that idea, but didn't think of doing it with these tops. I realize the blue dots probably don't really go with the style of fabric on the front, but the blue sort of matches the blue in the quilt ...

Project Quilting Season 12.2 Kaleidoscope style from Sew Sunshine


38" x 48"
Serpentine quilting with walking foot. 
All stash fabrics (should win for use of oldest pieces of fabric...guessing over 20 years on easter eggs and backing fabric)


Yep that is indeed Easter Eggs! I can not tell you how old this piece of fabric is but it has been in my stash a very long time. I remember I bought it specifically for making a kaleidoscope quilt.  When I started looking at it closer I remembered why I did not end up making it all those years ago. The problem? The print is very close. By that ...

Zuzu’s Petals from Jean Swenson


Zuzu’s Petals
July 2020

A few months ago, I experimented for the first time with making stack and whack blocks. At that time, I only made two blocks, using different fabric for each block. I then turned each block into a trivet. I was not overly impressed with the stack and whack technique and results: starting with “nice looking fabric”, cutting it up and reassembling it, and ending up with a different “nice looking fabric”. When I expressed this observation to a quilting group that I’m a member of, I was encouraged to make more than just one ...

And Sew It Goes from From the Strawberry Patch...

I've finished the quilting on this little one, "Sister Bear"; I have the binding all ready to apply, and wouldn't you know it, it's a batik and there's enough left over to make more masks! Yay! This is the batch from last week, thirteen adult sized and one child's mask; they've already been distributed to their new families and I have nine all ready to go this week! I thought that my batiks were

UFO busting - A Modern Flip from Sew Sunshine


                                                    
"Wherever the Wind Blows" 
a study of positive and negative space
42.5" x 32.5" 

Back at the beginning of the year my lqg had a modern block flip meeting. We brought blocks that were traditional and we flipped them to be more modern. 
I brought different blocks and in the end only played with a few of them with other guild members. 
I had in mind a few blocks I started in a BOM a few years ago. 


These blocks were 12.5" and simple traditional shapes made as BOM for Blossom Heart Quilts HST Modern Sampler. (2016 ...

PQ 11.5 Give it Away from Sew Sunshine



Project Quilting 11.5  is Give it Away! I 
dug out the super easy and modern go to tutorial from Cluck Cluck Sew Stack and Whack blocks Click on the link for how to. 

I cut out 42 squares and then went to town. You can do several blocks at a time so this goes very quickly. 
The block size I chose makes my quilt finish at about 42 x 48
All fabric was in my stash and have already been made into other quilts. 
I finished with some organic crossed lines which added to the window look of the ...
