Blast from the past from Moda Lissa

Moda / United Notions is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year- 2025. I thought I would throw out some of the blog posts from the past. Some I had published, some I have not. This one if from 2018 so disregard my quality of pictures, not that I have improved. Some of the names and faces have retired or moved on but have been a special part of the history here. My own personal blog and opinions!!

Modavation: Inspiration, Friendship, and Maybe a Few Too Many Cookies from Moda Lissa

 

Modavation 2025 pajama party
Josh Dunn, Mark Dunn and Brian Dunn

I’m still riding the high from Modavation—Moda’s big event for quilt shop owners—and if I’m being honest, maybe still recovering a bit too. Seeing so many of you in one place, sharing ideas, stories, and snacks (so many snacks!), filled my cup in every possible way. Everyone was amazed at the space and many set records for daily steps.

There’s just something magical about gathering with people who get it. From the early-morning coffee chats to the late-afternoon belly laughs during game time ...

Square Up Quilt – A Fat Quarter Shop Make from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

The corner of the quilt comes into view and is centered. At the bottom of the picture, that is all you see. It is resting on a metal rocking chair.
A Joy to Sew!

I had so much fun sewing up this quilt, called Square Up, for the Fat Quarter Shop! This brand-new pattern is simple, beginner-friendly, and incredibly satisfying to put together. Despite its ease, it has a bold, modern aesthetic that immediately reminded me of a mosaic wall—structured yet full of character.

The Fabric: Bee Garden by Gingiber

For my version of the Square Up quilt, I used fabric from one of my favorite Moda designers: Gingiber. Her collections always feel hand-drawn and filled with charm, and this latest one is no exception. From striking, oversized bees ...

I would like to share the work of one of my talented pattern testers, Miyuki! I know her as Miyu. She sent me her beautiful quilt so I could take some photos of it and I had so much fun with this bold and flirty quilt.

Charming: Tapestry from Becca's Crazy Projects

I have an embarrassingly large stack of quilts waiting for binding. I quilted this charm quilt in March and I attached the binding.
I added my simple label to this one. 
Here it is. Finished! I should pull out another stack of charm squares. 

Want to see how I cut all of these half-square triangles from 5" charm squares quickly and accurately? Check out this die-cutting post (corrected link).

Charming Maison de Garance from Becca's Crazy Projects

While writing this post I realized I didn't share the name of this fabric line. This is Maison de Garance by French General for Moda.
According to that label, this fabric has been in my collection since 2010. 
In May 2023, I cut the charms into 2.5" strips and used them as leaders & enders. If you're curious about this technique for making a quilt on the side (like a quilter's side hustle) while working on other projects, I highly recommend Quiltville. In the free patterns section you will find almost a dozen different leader & ender projects ...

It's scrappy and wonderful.

30's Playtime from Becca's Crazy Projects

There was a time when I would pick up 30's reproduction prints. At some point, a quilting friend gave me some she had. So far, I've made at least three quilts using this fabric. Let this be a lesson about over-buying fabrics.  
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 ...

Charming: Tapestry from Becca's Crazy Projects

I added the borders to my charming quilt. I really like how this one is turning out. Next, I need backing fabric so I can finish it up. Time to pick a new project.

Charming: Tapestry from Becca's Crazy Projects

Over the last week I've managed to sew the half-square triangle units together. I'm pleased with the layout. It is scrappy and not very controlled. If I had placed each half-square triangle I would have a completely different outcome. Maybe next time. 
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.

Charming: Tapestry from Becca's Crazy Projects

I'm sure you've been wondering how my die cut charm squares project is coming along. I've been sewing them up into units and pressing them open. This is the perfect kind of sewing if you have only a couple minutes. You can piece a couple units and walk away without feeling like you will lose your place.
The I played around with the layout. I sewed the units mostly randomly, with the only rule being there should be contrast between the two triangles. 
This is almost the final layout. I think I moved a couple units around ...

This and That from Becca's Crazy Projects

The Charming quilt still doesn't have binding.
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?

Die Cutting Half-Square Triangles from Becca's Crazy Projects

I've had this fabric for years. How long? More than ten years. Sometime between 2010 and 2013 I was a member of the Fat Quarter Shop's Moda Charm Pack Club. At the time, they would send me six charm packs by the same designer (the club has changed over the years but if you are in love with charm squares, or other pre-cuts, it might be perfect for you). I have stacks and stacks of these. Sometimes I even have a couple yards of coordinating fabric. Every once in a while I decide it is time to use ...

Charming from Becca's Crazy Projects

I managed to get the charming quilt quilted and trimmed. 
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.
