I have no idea what this pattern is called, or even if it has a name. I have seen several variations of this block, but nothing exactly like this. If you know its name please let me know so I can create the designer. I feel that I have been on a two-year quest to…
Wow, I had too many scraps and was overwhelmed! But I found a solution by turning them into 5-inch squares, also known as Charms or Nickles. And if that wasn’t enough, I even cut up all my fat quarters. I couldn’t believe it when the stacks were 7 inches tall! As a quilter, I love…
Wow, what a feeling it is to test this quilt pattern made using the Terry’s Toolbox pattern by @laurie_rose_designs! I had so much fun making it and the end result is almost queen size, which is just perfect. The pattern is designed in a way that makes it easy to follow and I was able…
This quilt is so easy, yet it has a huge impact!!! It’s simply two four patches and two HST. I started with 5-inch squares of each fabric, once assembled the four patches and the HST came up to 4.5. Once you have the square, you sew them into this very simple block. It always makes…
Have you ever seen a pattern that is so different you just have to try it? That was me and this Vintage Knit Quilt. Even though it looks like a ton of small blocks, it’s really just strip piecing…super easy! You do have to keep an eye on who the blocks are laid out, ad…
Jennifer at Sweet Tea Pattern Co asked if I would test her newest quilt pattern, and you know I am always down to test a new quilt pattern. I was not expecting what she sent over. It’s not often I see a new idea like this one, well really it was a very traditional block,…
Did you all see L & Behold Stitchery’s newish Deco Quilt pattern? Man it amazing!!!! First, you make these blocks…seems easy…but the number of times I had to unsew the pink checker blocks, should have warned me on what would come next. I was feeling pretty good about how it was coming together…until I saw…
Is it just me or does this block remind you of old-school Tron? Or HAL from 2020? Anyhow…a few months ago I joined Bre’s Quilt Along with her first pattern called Rough Diamond Quilt. It was a fun take on the log cabin block, with great color placement. 16 blocks and bam you get this…
Can we talk about my love of the HST? I am sure I have spoken about it before, but if the pattern is full of HST I am in. I am not great at sitting still and meditating is almost impossible for me. But creating and trimming HST is so soothing, and is how I…
I have been saving/collecting this fabric for just the right pattern, and I think I found it. Once everything got cut, I organized each block. Side note, those baby clips I am using in this picture are game-changers. You really need to go to your LQS and pick some up. Over four weeks, we made…
