Homespun Tumblers

I love these big tumblers! I went with a simp,e cream solid to alternate with the homespuns.

And here is one of many reasons that I love my AccuQuilt dies.

See how those corners are engineered? That makes everything line up perfectly every time! No guesswork.

This shows some of the rows together. If you need a quilt in a hurry, this totally fits the bill!

Have a great day!

FQS Four Patch Quilt

Finally I can share this bit of secret sewing with all of you!

A few months ago, I was asked to take part in a sew along for Fat Quarter Shop . This is the fabric I chose to use. Isn’t it lovely?

This quilt went together very quickly. The pattern is perfect if you have large prints or just need a good sized quilt in a hurry. It uses 12 fat quarters, plus a bit of background fabric. The blocks finish at 15 inches.

I used some Ruby Star from another line for the binding.

You can find the tutorial here.

Head over to the FQS Blog to see other versions of this fun quilt. There is a free pattern, a quilt kit, and video available. Have a great day!

Tumbler

I’ve been working on getting a group of throw quilts together to give away. I came across a couple of these bundles that I picked up for a song a couple years ago and decided they would work well for quilts for men.

I decided to use my large AccuQuilt tumbler die.

I layered up four fat quarters at a time and cut into strips about 7 1/4 inches wide.

I rotate my strip set with every cut to keep from wasting fabric.

I was able to get 9 large tumblers out of each fat quarter.

Time to cut some background tumblers.

Before I go, I wanted to let you know about this amazing deal from AccuQuilt .

70% off! Wow! Happy shopping!

Have a great day!

This and That

I changed the sheets on all the guest beds after little visitors. I changed the quilts at the same time.

This made me laugh way too hard!

My newest vocabulary word. I spuddle a lot.

Wise words from the amazing Alice Cooper.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Blue Story Runner

I’ve been a wee bit under the weather, but still managed to get this done.

I used this design board set for the quilting.

I like the curved quilting with the straight piecing.

I used some older Moda Marbles for the backing and binding.

Have a great day!

Blue Story Runner

I’ve played a bit with layouts. I liked this one, but it seemed too wide and too short.

So I ended up with a more random arrangement.

Time to get this finished up! Have a great day!

Blue Story

I found this charm pack at Tuesday Morning a while back. It seems my fabric always needs to age before I cut into it.

Anyway, I decided this would make a great table runner for a gift.

I placed stacks of 5-6 squares on my 2 1/2” AccuQuilt strip cutter to cut them in half.

So quick!

Then I shuffled and pieced one light and one dark together.

Press to the dark!

To be continued….

Have a great day!
