Fabric Diet Fail from Becca's Crazy Projects

This year I didn't make it very far without buying fabric. I tell myself every year that I won't buy fabric I don't need. Then, I go in search of backing fabric and come home with more than backing fabric. This time, it was a trip to Spring Water Designs. The four, 1-yard cuts in the foreground were fabrics on the discount shelf. I have no plan for these fabrics but they were just too good to leave behind. I also grabbed a cone of Omni for the long arm. Omni is a great thread and one ...

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

Fun half-square triangle quilt pieced by Joan V. I used a fan motif for the quilting. 
Another scrappy bricks quilt. I had a pieced backing, so I added a border to make this one a little bigger. I used the fan motif to quilt this one, too. 

Both quilts will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Charming: Tapestry from Becca's Crazy Projects

I made this fun, scrappy bricks quilt. I love how each of these is the same and so very different. These are 9.5" by 9.5" blocks made using 2" by 3.5" bricks. That's the smallest scrap I want to deal with. 
Simple blocks for the win. I Took inspiration from the border fabrics to choose the squares. Such a fun finish.

Beautifully pieced by Mary V.
I think this is the last of the red, white, and blue quilts. I got so lucky finding coordinating borders.

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.

I pieced this fun variation of the nine-patch block using 2.5" by 4.5" bricks. A 2.5" by 12.5" strip added to each lets you offset the nine-patches. Bordered with 3.5" strips for a great finish.
I'm almost done using up these leftover red, white, and blue strips. I really like this one.

I love how this odd blocks quilt turned out. The borders tie it all together. 
This one I made using colors from the border print.

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 ...

I could spend so much time making churn dash blocks. I love this block! These finish at 12" by 12". I used the sashing to bring the center up to the perfect size for a quilt for Quilts for Kids. 
This is the split churn dash. It makes for some fun secondary designs. Want to learn how to make this fun block? Check out Gnome Angel's video tutorial.

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?

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along from Espritpatch

 Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along. 

The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...)



I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent ...

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 ...

This was a great experiment! Keep your eye out for more odd block quilts.

Odd Blocks from Becca's Crazy Projects

Sometimes I make blocks just to try them out. Sometimes I don't have enough of these to make anything. Those odd blocks desire to become a quilt. Here we have a couple of those quilts, or at least the beginnings. The top one uses 6" squares. I had some fun blocks to pair up with those big pinwheels. 
These pinwheels are really big. Each of those pinwheel blocks measures 16". I had to get creative with the layout to make it look way more complicated than it is. I will add some borders and they will be ready for ...
