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: Double Nine Patch

I love nine patch quilts and have been wanting to make a double nine patch for quite awhile.  My original plan was to make a scrappy one, but then I saw this fabric and decided to just do a simple one with four fabrics.  The fabric is Moda’s Wintergreen by 3 Sisters.  The nine patches are going to be red and tan.  I have two black fabrics for alternate blocks, setting triangles and the border.  My original plan was to use the large black print for the alternate blocks and outer border and use the small print for the setting triangles.  The blocks will be set on point and as I was cutting the fabric I saw that the large print is directional and has flower stems and birds.  I think it might bother me to have these directional elements going in the wrong direction.  I’m really bummed because I had a certain plan in my head and I’m not sure it’s going to work out.

I cut a few blocks of both fabrics and auditioned them. 

D9P-1

D9P-2

Since it’s such a simple quilt, the fabric will really make or break it.  I guess I’ll do a little more piecing and then decide, but right now I sure like the large print better.

    It is interesting… for me the focus with the smaller print fabric is the double nine patches, while the focus with the larger print fabric is the larger print fabric. Both look lovely!

    I like your idea and it looks great from here!

    Good Morning Rhonda………Pat sent me an email about your blog. We talked about it last Thursday at your home…I started reading it and I know I will enjoy it because I always like the quilts you create. I like the larger print you have pictured with your ninepatches. Have a great day…….MPea

    The flowers in picture #2 look better to me. They area bit dark and maybe that is what is bothering you. I love the chains the double nine patch makes.
