I’ve had this layer cake for ages. I finally figured out what to do with it!
I confess, I got this idea from Wanda at Exuberant Color. She just got the big AccuQuilt Signature die and mentioned it was a good fit for a layer cake. These two dies, shown below, are from the 16” Qube.
Time to start cutting. Thanks, Wanda!
I found this home dec weight fabric in my stash recently. Isn’t it adorable? I may have finally found a use for it!
I picked up this fun chair at Goodwill. I don’t need another chair, but I thought it would be fun to re-do it.
It’s like an Arizona version of a Louis XVI chair.
I tried to find info online about it. This is all I found.
Ummmm…. It’s hard to believe this is worth that. I’m still going to reupholster mine with the dog fabric. Might have to wait until fall though.
Have a great day!
I finally decided. This is the top I plan to hand quilt this summer. I basted it on the long arm at 4 stitches per inch. I made horizontal lines about 2 1/2” apart.
This is pretty close, but I’ve come to prefer hand quilting without a hoop.
I take the basting stitches out as I go. I plan to quilt with my large Baptist Fan stencil.
Have a great day!
This is my final candidate for summer quilting.
I bought this top decades ago on eBay. I love it still!
It is machine pieced and in quite good condition. It is approximately 60 by 72 inches. I think this is the one I will baste for hand quilting.
I have this similar top as well. It is quite stained. I will probably use the fabric to repair some of the other tops I’ve shared.
Have a great day!
I completed my AccuQuilt Qube collection recently. I love having these at my fingertips.
Has anyone made these? I’m thinking one of my grandsons would enjoy them.
I don’t need fabric, but I’m so tempted by these! They are available through Fat Quarter Shop .
A favorite joke. 😂
A very good word.
And a few more cactus blossoms we’ve enjoyed recently.
Have a great day!
My second quilt made with Art Haus Fabrics from Connecting Threads Art Haus fabric is done!
I like this way better than my original idea. I used the same quilting design that I used on the last one. It’s my current favorite.
I had prepped a different binding, but I liked this one better.
I just think it’s fun. 😄
And here are the two quilts I made together.
It’s always fun to use something a bit out of your wheel house.
Have a great day!
My blocks are done and I have quite a few extra. My background is an older Mary Koval print. I cut as many as I could, but I’m a bit short if I want to use all the pieced blocks that I made.
I thought about making a border like this.
Or even creating a faux border using alternate blocks in a different fabric.
Ultimately, I decided to save the extras for another quilt and go with my original plan.
Have a great day!
I don’t know why I’ve procrastinated so long on this. But finally it went from this:
To this:
To this:
Now I need to decide on the next step. It currently measures about 54 inches square. Maybe I’ll procrastinate some more and leave it until fall. 🤷🏻♀️
Have a great day!
I went for random fabric placement here!
These large blocks finish at 24 inches square. I thought they might need sashing. Or maybe rearranging?
Hmmmm…. Time for more coffee and thinking.
Have a great day!
I spent some time messing around with the pieces I had that were cut wrong and came up with this.
Now I have things ready to sew together down in the kitchen while I keep an eye on Gracie.
Fingers crossed I don’t have any more disasters!
Have a great day!
