Daisy Chain QAL {Unit B} from Little Bunny Quilts

Ready to do more sewing?

This week we are making four patches that have one background square and three coordinating fabric squares. These units can be as scrappy or as controlled as your heart desires!

Baby quilt note: You will not need the entire length of the WOF strips to make your scrappy four patches since you’ll only need to make 4 of them. 10” long strips are long enough for this step.

Choose (1*/1/2/2) 2.5” x WOF fabric strip of any color (I) and pair with a 2.5” x WOF background strip (E ...

The anatomy of a Double Wedding Ring quilt from Quilt Social

This week on QUILTsocial I’ll focus on the Double Wedding Ring quilt. Now, if you’re new to quilting you may not know this name, but almost everyone has seen this pattern. The Double Wedding Ring pattern was first published in 1928 and has been a favorite for many quilters ever since then.

Since the sewing of this pattern can be quite intense, I’ll spread it out over this week and my week in April. The Dreamweaver XE from Brother has a lot of sewing in front of it – so let’s get started!

Sew Happy Mini Quilt Tutorial from The Crafty Quilter

Today, I’m sharing my Sew Happy Mini Quilt Tutorial! It’s a fun little quilt that has all of that rainbow goodness in mini form. I think it would be beautiful in just about any colorway, and it’s perfect for using up scraps. Each block measures 3″ (finished) and the total mini quilt measures 18 1/2″ x 17″.

My first Sew Happy Mini Quilt was based off the instructions from The 2018 Quilter’s Planner Sew Along which included twelve 12″ quilt blocks and two layout options. These were beautifully designed by Cheryl Brickey at Meadow Mist ...

The marriage of the Double Wedding Ring and the Dreamweaver XE from Quilt Social

Consider this week’s posts by Christine Baker as part 1 of a complete tutorial on the Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern. Part 2 will be published in April, and the completed bed runner revealed!

To many, the Double Wedding Ring pattern is daunting. It could be because of the curved piecing and the many differently shaped pieces it takes to make this very romantic quilt pattern. It could also be that these differently shaped pieces need to match up every time for the full effect!

As I read through Christine’s posts, I started to believe I could attempt ...

Welcome Our Newest Elements - Decostitch + Icon from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi Makers,

Are you looking for some new blenders for your next quilty project?! The usual go-to's are often solids, but we wanted to create something different that added some texture and felt just more unique!

For “DECOSTITCH,” we were inspired by stitching motifs and decided to fuse them together with neutral shades ...

Let’s talk about Spray Starch!

So I brought up the topic of spray starch in last weeks Sassy tip post… let’s dive in and learn a little more about starch and how we as quilters use it.

“Starch” is a German word meaning strong or stiff. Where does if come from? It comes from a variety of plants such as potatoes, wheat, rice and corn.

When combined with warm water it is used as a thickening, stiffening, and gluing agent. We use it in food, wallpaper, on our fabrics and all kinds of other things.

Practice Blocks Make A Quilt from Wedding Dress Blue

My next major quilt is for one of my grandsons (the family building a house) and it is tentatively called Climb On.

I had an idea but wanted to make sure it would really work and not be too tedious.

So I made a block.

Well, that was fun. What about a few more.

OK–with this many, I may as well keep going. It WOULD make a cute baby quilt.

And, here I am.

Should finish the top this week and will start working on the real thing soon.

I May Have A Scrap Problem... A Disappearing Act! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

As you probably already know, I was fortunate enough to attend QuiltCon last week. I signed up for a class called Dynamic Quilts with Solids, taught by Nydia Kehnle. Considering how many solid scraps I have, you can guess that I was really excited! We were instructed to bring about 125 7.5" squares, in at least 25 different colors. Well, I went nuts, pulled everything I could cut a 7.5" square out of, without rhyme or reason, and showed up to class.

This is the class instructor, Nydia Kehnle, and one of her fabulous quilts! We ...
