I have decided! This is the next baby quilt I’ll be making. Isn’t it adorable!? I’ll be going shopping for fabrics tomorrow. I looked at all the sales in the US, but once you add shipping, the costs just blow way out. So, off to Spotlight I go. Also, I finished cutting the last panel […]

So here is yet ANOTHER quilt that is in the design process. I know the following things: Storm at sea and the colors red and black. I’m assuming a few other things like that it should be queen size to suit my sister’s bed and that grey will be acceptable. However, a two-tone quilt could […]

It is done, washed and dried! I love the crinkliness of it, too! Makes it seem much fluffier cuddly.The backing looks better after the quilting as well. All in all, I’m very pleased with how it came out.

The Hunters Star baby quilt is washed and drying on the rack. I’ll take some photos of it tomorrow. In the meantime, my thoughts have turned to the next baby quilt for another friend. After browsing quilts on Pinterest and the internet, I decided to grab the EQ7 file that Linda has thoughtfully provided. The above […]

Fat Quarter Shop had this pattern in their latest email and it inspired me to create the above. It uses a 4.5″ HST from the 12″ Hunters Star collection and 4.5″ sashing. The border consists of equilateral triangles and 60 degree diamonds, but I’m not sure of their measurement at this time. It can easily […]

So the patches are done and now I’m at this stage. I really can’t decide on how I want to put the blocks together and it’s really frustrating. What do you guys think? Are any of these combos working? Any other suggested layouts?

I used to subscribe to Australian Patchwork and Quilting and buy any other quilting magazines and books that caught my eye and had patterns I loved. I stopped after a few years and accumulating several binders of “favourites.” When I decided to make another baby quilt, I pulled out the binders and sifted through them, […]

I originally posted the below in a rant to the Inklingo group. I wanted to defend the pricing of the collections to people who seemed upset that they weren’t free. The internet has made it easy to get a lot of things for free, but when it comes to small businesses, especially those that are […]

So Linda is doing a mystery quilt! I’m quite excited and the first clue sends us to find fabric in the following format: light, medium, dark and accent. I don’t have the yardage, so I went through my stash (it’s meager compared to other stashes I’ve seen and some of these fabrics were bought a […]

I just realized that I never posted the photo of the completed rug! Looking at this awful phone photo, a few thoughts come to mind: The binding looks terrible. I hand-sewed it on and it is so wrinkled! I didn’t sew the patches using a scant quarter-inch and on the smaller patches, I should have […]

Planning Winding Ways
So I decided to add an extra row in each direction to bring the quilt up to 63″ x 63″ in size. This makes it a nice throw and allows the quilt to be useful beyond the crib. I am really enjoying the look of this design and I think I’ll buy fabric as close […]
