I woke up in the middle of the night, and knew this needed a tablecloth.
I love that vintage print.
Then I finally started playing with flowers.
Everything is pinned to the design wall. So I have no idea how I’m going to transfer this to my ironing table.
I should have thought of that.
Have a great day!
I’ve been out of town so I haven’t gotten very far on this. I stitched up four blocks so I could get a glimpse of the secondary pattern that really makes this quilt.
I decided to use the magic of apps to see how 16 blocks would look.
So why not try 64 blocks?
Obviously, they will look better when the blocks are not all the same, but it is a fun sneak peak nonetheless.
Have a great day!
I’ve just returned from a week in Wisconsin. I went for my niece’s wedding. After the festivities were over, my sister and I headed north to Rhinelander, Home of the Hodag.
We met up with my brother to scatter Mom’s ashes in the same place as my dad.
It is a beautiful spot.
On the 17th, they spent their first anniversary together in heaven.
Have a great day
This is SO true.
The skies in Arizona never cease to amaze me.
Just make yourself at home, Penny.
This map rocked my world a bit. 🤯
Have a great day!
I haven’t had much time, but I started cutting a few parts and pieces for this project.
Here is my background.
I couldn’t resist playing with even the few pieces I’d cut.
That green below is probably too light to use.
Lots of play time in my future.
Have a great day!
I have another old finish to reshare with you today. Enjoy!

The weather has been pretty nasty here all week so the following pictures are the best I could get between rain showers. I finished the labyrinth quilt earlier this week.
This was made using a raw edge reverse appliqué technique. I used fusible web only for the center flower section. As I mentioned earlier, this created a mountain in the middle! It remained as a UFO for a number of years. I decided it was time to finish it or pitch it. I cut an 18″ circle of poly batting and another 30″ circle of poly batting and spray basted them to the back of the labyrinth. Then I loaded it onto the frame with a full layer of Warm and White batting. I started the quilting by outlining the black. I went back and quilted each narrow black area with a bit of a scribble.
I wanted to make sure those skinny bits didn’t fray and disappear in the wash! They did fray but not disintegrate. Then I quilted the outside background and the center section.
I didn’t manage to trim this so that the quadrants of the labyrinth are square with the edges of the quilt. I might have to go back and fix that.
It wasn’t easy quilting through the three layers of batting at the center but it did take up the fullness in that area. It is far from perfect but I am glad that I finished it. It won’t win any awards but it looks pretty good from a distance.
Have a great day!
I was asked about the sizes of my cut pieces. My center squares are cut 4 1/2”. Both the green and print rectangles are cut 2 1/2 by 4 1/2.”
I used shapes 1 and 8 from the AccuQuilt 8” Qube.
Easy peasy! Have a great day!
Look familiar? As I was making my Lines quilt, I had an idea for some of my leftover stripes!
I’m going to use this as a background for some fusible appliqué.
Because, why not? My plan is to create a pot of flowers.
I’m just going to cut a bunch of pieces with these dies and have a good play.
Have a great day!
Have you ever made potato chip blocks? They’ve been around a while. Alycia at Alycia Quilts has made several variations. I decided to make one too. I have all my pieces cut out.
I’m using my African prints and a solid green for the background.
A single block doesn’t look like much, but I think it will be pretty cool when it all comes together.
Have a great day!
