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 ...

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

Sometimes I get quilts from Quilts for Kids that don't have a name on the label. I love that people give of their time and skill to create for others.

Both of these are quilted and will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

I love this quilt pieced by Mary. Aren't the fish wonderful?

I was playing thread chicken while quilting this one. I managed to finish quilting it before running out of thread.

I also love these birds, also pieced by Mary for Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

On Saturday I picked up a roll of batting and bag of quilts to quilt.

I picked up backing for six tops that I pieced and eleven quilts made by other members of Annapolis Quilts for Kids. I'll be busy for the next few weeks.

String Quilt from Magpie Quilts

I love scrappy quilts. You know, the ones that have all kinds of fabrics thrown together and somehow, miraculously, look as though the color and fabric placements were planned and meant to be. It takes a leap of faith to just pull fabrics out of a bin and put them next to each other. Some quilters just can't make that leap - and that's perfectly ok!

This first quilt is one I made several years ago as a charity quilt with my quilt guild. The white strips were but at 1.5" and the only requirement for the additional ...

I've been making little four-patch blocks with leftover bits. I paired them up and made them into blocks using some 2.5" strips. I really like how this one turned out.

These quarter log cabin blocks are so easy to make. Pieced and quilted by me. Both will be heading to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Pretty Purples from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last weekend I was near a big box fabric store. I popped in to wander. I found some superglue that I needed and eight fat quarters I didn't. They were on sale: 4 for $5. That price is perfect for charity quilts.

I came home and chopped them into 6.5" squares suitable for charity quilts. I also grabbed some squares from my stack to make up another.

There were even some 3.5" strips left over. Perfect for yet another quilt once I paired them with some other leftover 3.5" strips. It just occurred to me I ...

How does your garden grow? The Square-in-Square block is great for using 2.5" strips to make easy 6" blocks. Alternating with simple squares for a fun effect. I pieced and quilted this one for Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Charming: Phesant Hill from Becca's Crazy Projects

This is my second post about one of my charm pack quilts. Check out the first post from last week to see the cutting tools.

When I say I didn't plan this layout you will just have to believe me. I just grabbed contrasting colors and stitched them into pairs. Then stitched the pairs into sets of four, and so one until I had a row of 16 tumblers. Then I added one more to the end for a total of 17 per row.

I tried to get them to line up so there weren't too many of ...

I pieced and quilted this simple quilt. This is the Alternate Square pattern from Quilts for Kids. I love that this pattern works up quickly and works with a handful of different fabrics, or 30 different fabrics. It finishes at 38" by 44" so it fits onto a 1.5 yard cut of backing fabric with no piecing! It will be heading to Annapolis Quilts for Kids for binding in April.

Junk Journaling Again from Ravelly1

Here I go again. Hi everyone. Please allow me to practice on you all with my first attempt to video one of my latest junk journals. I am not good with the direction of turning the journal the correct way. Please use kind words with your critiques. And thanks in advance.

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: Pheasant Hill from Becca's Crazy Projects

Continuing my series of quilts made with charm packs, I bring you Pheasant Hill. I have six charm backs and two one-yard cuts of coordinating fabric. This time we're going with tumblers cut using the Missouri Star template.

I also used my rotating 14" by 14" cutting mat. This is great if you don't want to have to reposition the template when cutting. You just rotate the mat. Easy! You can also get a smaller 8" by 8" cutting mat.

This tumbler lets you quickly cut your charm packs into the right shape.

Neatly cut and stacked!
