I am so glad I finished these quilts and patterns! The apple quilt is really a fun quilt. At this medium size - 30'' x 34'', the appliques and the quilting were quick and easy. And the paisley motifs fills the space quickly!! I used a thick and fluffy polyester batting and I basted the quilt sandwich with adhesive spray, I like this basting method for small or medium size quilts. It's … [Read more...]
Big Patchwork Pillows
I used two of the cute blocks made some time ago and I made two big pillows. 20''. And I quilted both with the walking foot and a dense grid. The octagon in the center measures less than 1'' (after washing) - really cute! Now to quilt the last three blocks, I will make a table runner. Happy quilting! Edited: … [Read more...]
New Patchwork Quilt
I finished this quilt a few days ago. All the fabrics are from the Fusions collection by Robert Kaufman. It's a decent size - 36'', it was a pleasure to quilt it. Quilted with Aurifil 50wt. The center octagon measures 2''. The center design measures 28''. From 2'' to 28'' in just three steps! The border is 5'' wide and I chose to quilt double feathers (feather in feather) on … [Read more...]
Two Color Patchwork Quilt Blocks
I was right that the two color version is beautiful! I posted pictures on Facebook and many quilters asked what pattern I used. For this simple block, this is the pattern - Loving Hugs. To this block I added then other two rows of triangles. I started with 1'' octagon. The finished block measures 14''. Then it was hard to stop! The beautiful fabric is from the Fusions collection … [Read more...]
Modern Dresden Fan/Plate Quilt
I am happy to finally share with you my new quilt. A version like this I made first in 2011 and since then I have seen many other on Internet. I don't know why it took me so long to make this one, because this block is fun and the result spectacular. To me, the most exciting thing is that no applique or curved piecing is involved. Only easy piecing! There is no sign of spring here yet, so I am … [Read more...]
New Three Color Quilt and Pattern
I am finally able to share my latest quilt with you. Because it is a big quilt, I had to take it outside for photos. It measures 78''x84''. The design was inspired by this quilt I made last year. I LOVE its simplicity. Simple design and fabric work well with elaborate quilting and I was happy to do it. It was cloudy and it even started to snow! I think it is one of my favorite … [Read more...]
A New Dresden Fan Quilt
I am making a Dresden Fan quilt. A new version of the quilt I made in 2011. I am using polka dots again, just different polka dots... I have even white on white polka dots... If you remember, I am not fond of turned edge appliques. That's why I chose to turn the Dresden Fan block into an octagon then into a square. Who doesn't love piecing squares? This is definitely a fun block! I … [Read more...]
New Geometric Gradation Quilt
Unfortunately, I don't have a better picture of my new quilt. This one is before adding the borders. The final quilt looks like this diagram. I LOVE it and can't wait to see it quilted. There are 132 x 6'' blocks, in 10 different patterns. The size before borders: 66'' x 72''. With 6'' borders: 78'' x 84''. I know this is a busy time of the year for everyone, but if you need a quilt for … [Read more...]
Geometric Gradation Quilt
I still have 40 blocks to quilt. So today I have to buy a gift! Here is the quilt top. I made this design years ago and I am happy that I finally used it. There are 11 different blocks and 121 blocks arranged into a 11x11 grid. You wouldn't say but it is really easy to cut the pieces for the blocks and to piece them. The blocks measure 6'' and the green squares vary in size from 1/2'' … [Read more...]
My “Soy Amado”
The beginning of this week found me with a stack of four quilt tops waiting for quilting. One of the quilt took me three days (can't wait to show you, I still have to wash it) and the next one three hours! I just needed an "easy" quilt to quilt! I love to quilt but I am really tired of challenges! So this project came just in time! Alison of "Little Island Quilting" is making quilts for … [Read more...]
