It's scrappy and wonderful.
Now it just needs binding.
I cut the charm packs into half-square triangle units using the Accuquilt Go. You have to be careful when cutting 5" charms because there isn't much room for mistakes.
I made a bunch of 4-patch in 4-patch blocks.
In the end, I had enough blocks to make a fun, scrappy quilt. Now it just needs ... read more
I cut the inner and out borders, and binding.
Nicely pressed binding ready for the quilt. Now to get the borders added so I can do some quilting.
This is almost the final layout. I think I moved a couple units around ... read more
I picked up more quilts and batting from Quilts for Kids on Saturday.
I stopped by the big box store and picked up some yarn I didn't need but I wanted it anyway.
My next Charming quilt is coming along slowly. Winter weather may have slowed me down. What have you been up to?
All that's left is the binding. That may have to wait until next year. I'm so happy I used the fan quilting motif. I think it is perfect for this quilt.

read moreNovember is family story month, and this quilt’s got my family talking. It’s a signature quilt with the names of my relatives, a special way to celebrate our family ties.
This is Kate from the marketing team, and today I’m sharing my latest quilt with you. For 74 summers, my father’s family reunion has drawn our kinfolk to the hot, scrubby land near Fredericksburg. This year, the gathering drew about 150 family members for camping under the old pecan trees. There’s practically no cell service, so everyone puts down their screens for a time to ...
read moreAnother granddaughter arrived last April, giving me reason to make a baby quilt. I selected fabric and a pattern months earlier. I turned to Scrap Quilts magazine, Summer 2012. My sisters and I created tangerine zoo designed by Brandi Frey one other time to commemorate the birth of a great-niece. See previous quilt here. I […]

read moreWindow Dressing was published in March 2023 in Make Modern Issue #51, in the category of Prints Charming! I smile every time I read that :-)
Made with Ruby Star Society Fabrics (Reverie by Melody Miller) provided by Moda, it is a simple design that exploits the value gradations for maximum effect. Put another way, the Prints Charming did the heavy lifting and I gathered the compliments :-)

read moreWhen Janet in my Modern quilting group showed me a photo of her daughter’s house tiles and asked me to draft a pattern, I immediately said, “Yes”. This straightforward pattern uses a simple method to make the star points. The pattern contains templates and a no-waste solution for the leftover pieces. The pattern can be purchased here For my sample, I made a 9-block version using Bella Solids and Grunge and pieced and quilted the project with Aurifil 50wt cotton.

read moreThe humble 9-patch snowball block The Sewcialites 2 sew-a-long is in full swing and there are only a few blocks to go. Today I am posting about my block, Dapper, a humble 9-patch snowball. For those that know me my motto is, “if is it not challenging then it is not worth doing” and this easy block is totally out of character for me. But is it? The snowball block in its simplicity can make a wonderful quilt using solids and prints, stripes, dots and especially fabrics that lend to fussy cutting. I think this block could be used to ...
