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?

DWM: A Day in the Country

Last week I posted a picture of a scrap quilt I finished.  The blocks in that quilt are made from eight 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” bricks—half in one fabric and half in another.  The first time I made this quilt I used lots of cream, light beige, tans and browns so I called the quilt Half and Half.  There probably is another name for this block but I don’t know what it is so I’ve continued calling it Half and Half. 

I came across a fat quarter pack from a Fig Tree Quilts line called A Day in the Country and thought those fabrics would work well for this quilt so I made another one.  Since I didn’t have yardage of anything from this line I made an easy piano key border.  That worked out pretty well.  I used almost every thread of 16 fat quarters to make the top and it measures about 60” x 78”.  If you would like to make one of these, check back in a couple of days.  I’m writing the instructions now and will post them on Wednesday.

    Lovely quilts! I almost made one of these after seeing your last one. I knew I could figure out measurements that would make it work. But I got lazy and started something else. Now tho’, I’m so lucky, you will be giving use measurements. Tons of thanks! Toni
