I knew the next few weeks would be busy, so I did a bit of prep work for the quilt along. I decided to make a bunch of four patches, since there are quite a few of those in the quilt.

I also made a bunch of HSTs that will be needed.

I put all these in a little bin so they don’t get lost.

Have a great day!

I know I just finished a bow tie quilt, but I love this simple pattern!

I picked up some Kona White and got the background bits cut.

Then I had to sew just a few. These will finish at 6 inches.

I used my AccuQuilt 12” Qube and this Companion Corners set to cut pieces.

I probably won’t get any farther on this for a while.

Have a great day!

These are all 3 1/2” squares that I cut using my AccuQuilt Studio Cutter.

This is the idea I’m going for, but I’m not sure if I want to do individual blocks with sashing, or have the blocks all run together. That would require pre-planning the whole thing and very long diagonal rows. I won’t be working on this until I get back to Michigan, so I have time to think about it.

Have a great day!

I still don’t know how big this will end up, but at least I’m making progress. Mr. Wonderful and I are flying to AZ this week and this will be my take along project. I have posts scheduled, so you won’t even know I’m gone. 😊

Have a great day!

Happy Saturday! Isn’t this a cool block? It’s called Lucky Star and it’s a new release from AccuQuilt .

I wrote a blogpost for AccuQuilt that shows how I used this block.

Having a degree in chemistry, I find these little things very amusing.

I picked up this cup at a flea market in Europe many years ago.

I used it for my coffee on Monday in honor of HM the Queen.

Winslow might be due for a haircut.

Lastly, if you’ve wondered about die cutting, but were put off by the price, check out this deal.

This deal is good until September 30th.

Have a great day!

Ta daaa!!!

I loved making this quilt for Fat Quarter Shop !

It was very quick and easy, but still makes for an interesting quilt.

The gradation I was able to achieve with the layer cake really makes the design pop.

Hop over to Fat Quarter Shop to grab a layer cake and jelly roll so you can make one for yourself!

Have a great day!

This post was originally written and posted six years ago. I can’t believe it has been that long! I really like this simple quilt. It might be time to revisit this. Enjoy!

This quilt has been finished and gifted and now I can share it. Ever have a quilt where all the pieces just fall into place? That happened with this one. I had a totally different plan for this Parson Gray layer cake, but while perusing blogs one day, I saw something that caught my eye. My finished quilt bears no resemblance to the quilt I saw on the Fat Quarter shop blog, but I love it! Sometimes, it just takes a spark and some play for a good idea to come about.

These first pictures were taken before washing.

The background fabric is Aged Muslin by Marcus and I purchased it at the yard sale of a fellow guild member. Can you believe she sold a 4  1/2 yard piece of this? I also bought the lovely flannel for the back from her.

I used a pantograph called African Samba from Urban Elementz for the quilting. Here are after washing shots. I love how this crinkled up! It is so soft and snuggly!

The binding is also Aged Muslin from Marcus. I purchased that bit when I was in Phoenix last month. This next picture is more representative of the true color of the backing fabric. It is SO soft.

I made this quilt for a friend who is experiencing some health issues. He loved it! I hope it brings much comfort in the days to come.

Have a great day!

I’m moving right along on this QAL hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts.

What? There are no spool blocks? Well, I decided to replace the 7 letter blocks with spool blocks. So mine won’t say “Welcome.” And I decided to go ahead and make the rest of the spool blocks I would be needing.

Then I got around to making the next two blocks. Looks like I messed one up. No worries. I’m not ripping.

I’m not stressing over colors or placement much. You can probably tell!

Have a great day!
