I mentioned yesterday that I just returned from Arizona. Being sick most of the time meant few adventures. I did complete a few puzzles.

And a quick trip to Goodwill afforded six yards of this lovely IKEA fabric. I used some of this for a log cabin quilt several years ago. Click to here see it.

It was sad not seeing Jack, but most of our backyard cacti are doing well.

And this sweet bloom welcomed me.

I greatly enjoyed my own backyard on this trip. Being sick, I spent a lot of time there. The sky is always amazing.

Willy was my travel buddy.

He did such a great job, that I treated him to his first pup patty from In and Out Burger.

Have a great day!

Have you noticed a theme here lately? I found some more four patches that were made as leaders/ enders. These are feeling more interesting to me than the other set right now.

They finish at 4 inches. I have 120 done. I still like the idea of a stripy setting.

I could also do an alternate block set.

Hmmmm…..I think I’ll play with these a while.

Stay tuned.

Have a great day!

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!

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!

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!

So much inspiration at the show! I have one more post to share after this one. Enjoy!

Have a great day!

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.

Have a great day!

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!
