I love the fabrics in this quilt and they were just random fabrics from my stash. The pattern is #theellaquilt by @kitchentablequilting. I may have to hang this in my family room until it finds a new home.

Today's prompt is pressing matters. I love flat bl Today's prompt is pressing matters. I love flat blocks and these three items are my essentials for achieving that: white fluffy bath towel, cheap Black & Decker iron that steams like crazy, and a Jackson's Woodworks square clapper.

I have a wool pressing mat, but I like the bath towel better. It has enough nap to "grab" the fabrics for a super flat press and it can be tossed in the washer and dryer.

One of my cherished quilts is one I didn't make. T One of my cherished quilts is one I didn't make. This album quilt was made by members of a club I ran for many years when I had a brick and mortar shop. Several members continued to meet in my home monthly until COVID hit. 

It is special to me because it is a reminder of what is important; the friendships, camaraderie, and encouragement that developed within the group.

This super scrappy quilt is one of my favorites fo This super scrappy quilt is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons. First it is proof that any fabric works when you cut it small enough and second I pieced it on a little mini retreat with a couple of friends. The pattern is Rectangle Wrangle by Bonnie Hunter.

I love, love, love scrap quilts, the more fabrics the better, and that's how I justify buying all the fabric I do.

This particular quilt was chosen for today's prompt because tomorrow it will be on its way to Poland along with nine others from my "quilt room" (see day 3 prompt).

Lesson learned. I could write a book on all the th Lesson learned. I could write a book on all the things I've learned through quilting, but one I can't seem to get through my head is that I don't like foundation piecing, paper piecing, or hand piecing.  Slow stitching is a concept I can't wrap my head around.

This String Spiderweb was started at a retreat so I jumped on the bandwagon without thinking it through. I have a bunch of these units made but no interest in continuing. As I was snapping the photo though, I had an idea. Stay tuned.

Are there quilting techniques or methods you don't enjoy?

Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 3

Today’s quilt was inspired by one I made awhile back using a layer cake.  It was made with a technique where you stack 4 squares, cut horizontally, cut vertically and shuffle so you end up with four different fabrics in each block.  The quilt I made had narrow sashing strips between the rectangles in the block which made it look more complicated than it actually was.  I was thinking about doing the same thing with charm squares but decided it would be way too putzy with 5” blocks.  Then I realized I could get the same effect by modifying a Disappearing Nine Patch to include sashing between the charm squares in the nine patch.

I made five of these blocks for my quilt.  That meant I needed 45 charm squares.  Each pack has only 42 so I bought an extra fat quarter and cut three additional squares from it.  The sashing strips are cut 2” wide.  After the block is sewn together, simply cut it in half in both directions as shown by the lines.  Most tutorials for Disappearing Nine Patch have you rotate the cut squares and sew them back together to make a block.  Don’t do that for this quilt.  After cutting all five of the nine patch blocks in quarters, you will have 20 squares.

Arrange the squares into five rows of four blocks each.  Rotate the blocks so the seams go in different directions.  Without borders this will measure about 32” x 40”.  I wanted a little bigger quilt, so I added borders.  The inner border was cut 2” (finished size 1-1/2”) and the outer border was cut 3-1/2” wide (finished size 3”). 

In addition to the 45 charm squares you will need about a yard of the sashing fabric (includes inner border), 1/2 yard of outer border fabric and 1/2 yard for binding.

The quilting is just an overall meander in the center with wavy lines in the inner border and “up and down” lines in the outer border.

Be sure to stop in tomorrow for Baby Quilt #4!
