….where I was heading here?
Years ago, I saw in a book somewhere, a quilt made to celebrate Hailey’s Comet. I tried to find it again and was unable to. But that was my inspiration for this little bit.
Here is the back. I quilted a random grid and used a single fold binding.
I think I’d like it better in solids, but I’ll definitely make a bigger one some day!
Before I go, here is a book I very much enjoyed.
Have a good one. 😊
Pardon my excitement, but AccuQuilt released a new BOB die yesterday and my design is on the packaging!
In case you missed the Live show yesterday, here is the quilt I made.
It finished at 40” square, making it perfect for a baby.
Also, there is special pricing on die bundles that include the new Mill & Stars die, 40% off overstocks, and double reward points today! Click here for details.
You can also download the free pattern for this quilt from the AccuQuilt website.
And click here for a video tutorial to make the block.
Thanks for sharing my excitement. 😊 Have a great day!

I’ve had an idea for some time now for a quilt. I decided to make a mini to try out my idea. These are the fabrics I chose for this test piece.
And these are the dies I used.
It only took a few minutes to cut these out.
Can you guess where I’m headed with this?
Stay tuned…..
Have a great day!
I had more finishes this month than it looks like. Lots of secret sewing was accomplished this month! Here is what I can share.
If you tune into AccuQuilt Live tomorrow, you will get to see one of my secret sewing projects from a few months ago! They are releasing another new die, and it might be my favorite yet!
Have a great day!

I’ve been binding the vintage quilt that I’m hand quilting. No, the quilting isn’t done.
But after I got one row of fans done all around the outside, I was able to get the binding on.
I think you can see the quilting a bit better on the back.
I used cutoffs from the backing to make the binding.
Have a great day!
Every blog post needs a quilt photo, right? So here it is.
Now on to the point of this post. I’ve used Bloglovin’ for several years as a way to keep up with my favorite blogs. Recently, it has become very problematic. I see this every time I try to read my blogs.
This happened a few months ago and I thought they had it fixed. If so, it’s broken again. Ugh.

This finish was as quick as I expected. I liked the design, but am underwhelmed by the fabric choices.
It seems that when working with a charm pack, I feel committed to using every piece and not adding any to it. This is not always the best course of action.
I should have eliminated some of the lighter squares and added more navy bits from my stash for better contrast. It’s okay, but it could have been better. Live and learn.
It finished at about 46 by 54. I used a pantograph from Willow Leaf Studio called Ink Blot. The backing is from the “way back stash.”
I would try this idea again. It was quick and easy, but I’d spend more time on fabric choices.
Have a great day!
Remember this? I had the top all pieced when I got home from Arizona in April. Except for the borders…..why do I procrastinate on borders?
Finally, I made myself put them on and get this monster loaded. Here is the pantograph I am using. It is from Willow Leaf Studio.
It’s slow going, but begun is half done! Right? Right? 😳
This is likely to be on the frame for a while, especially with the littles here this week.
Have a great day!
I have several irons in the fire this week. Progress has been made on the blocks for the baby quilt. I have more done than this now, but I thought I’d keep you all guessing.
I finished the last of the Hattie’s Choice blocks.
I thought about using the purple Kona for alternate plain blocks, but maybe sashing would be better.
I’m also thinking about making a little quilt using these dies from my AccuQuilt 5” Qube.
The three local littles will be here all day today and tomorrow, so I’m not sure how much more will get gone this week.
Have a great day!

Today, AccuQuilt is rereleasing the 5” Qube. I made this little bit to celebrate!
I’ve had my 5” Qube for a while and I love it. The smaller the pieces, the harder it is for me to cut accurately with a rotary cutter and ruler, so I love this.
Of course, I made this in red, white, and blue!
I used shapes 2, 4, and 8. The hourglass units in this little quilt finish at 2 1/2 inches.
You can learn more about the 5” Qube by joining in on the AccuQuilt Live program today.
Hope to see you there!
