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: Quiltville Mystery

Many, many quilters will probably have this mystery quilt on their design walls this week.  It is Celtic Solstice by Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.  It’s not too late to start and you can find out all about it here.

I went back and forth over whether to start this or not, then decided what the heck, what’s one more project.  Bonnie is using orange, blue, green and gold with a neutral background and I knew those colors would be hard to find in my stash so I went with what I have.  I haven’t pulled all the fabrics, but will find them as the clues progress.  The first clue called for 3.5” strips so I went through my bin of 3.5” strips and found what I needed for the neutrals and red that I’m using in place of the orange.  There weren’t enough black strips so I cut some strips from fat quarters.  I’m using black instead of blue.

Celtic Solstice-strips

This clue uses the Tri-Recs ruler which is one of my favorites.  I love these units and it was a big part of why I joined in.  I’ve cut all of the “Tri’s” and a good part of the “Rec’s”—340 sets of them for the large size (!) so I started sewing.  This is what I have so far:

Reds and black:

Red-Black Tri

and neutral and black:

Neutral Black Tri

Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to keep up with this mystery and finish each step before the next one is posted but I’m going to try to sew on it a little bit every day.  Yesterday I made a list of projects that need to be finished this month and it was quite lengthy.  Guess I will be spending a lot of time at my machine—oh darn!!!

Take a look at other color choices for the Celtic Solstice mystery here and other design wall projects on the Patchwork Times link-up here.

    I like your blocks for the mystery. Looking forward to seeing your progress. And you have to spend more time sewing?? That really is too bad. 😀

    Beautiful choice of colors. I’m already behind, so I’ll be right there with you on not getting each step done.

    Love your fabrics! You must have the perfect stash! My fabrics are more clear colors, but yours are just what I would love to have in a stash. Can’t wait to see what the entire quilt looks like when it is finished.

    I add my cheers to your colorway! And, you’re right: what’s another project? Especially when you get caught up in all the Quiltville excitement!

    Great start! Just remember that quilting is a process, and “keeping up” doesn’t always have to happen. I work at my own pace, and when new “sew-along” projects are listed, I get to them when I can!

    Great color choice! I love how you can go through your stash and modify the colorways. I am working on getting that brave. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    I did the Easy Street last year and when she promised nothing smaller than 2″ I was in again! Hoping for no Strings this year too. I had to go with fabrics I had in stash too. Yellow and Orange are not among the favorite stash colors.

    I love your color choice! In fact, it *almost* tempted me to do this mystery project. Almost, but not quite … I have waaay too many projects going! I’m looking forward to seeing your finished quilt!

    Rhonda,
    Your colors are wonderful.
    Am also doing the mystery and so look forward to seeing how all of our quilts emerge as the clues are posted.
