Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

2015 Quilts, jelly roll, piecing · January 19, 2015

DWM: Stamp

Usually I plan a piecing project so the sewing is very efficient and I don’t need a leader-ender.  Plus, I find it very difficult to stay on task with two projects at once.  If I piece something simple like a nine-patches as leader-enders, I lose them before I put them into a quilt.  With the French Kiss quilt though, there were hundreds of short little seams that needed to be pressed after being sewn to the block so I thought a leader-ender project might be in order.

I saw a very simple quilt on Pinterest that looked like it would work perfectly.  The link to the project was broken, but it only took a few seconds to figure out the pattern.  I had a jelly roll of Kate Spain’s Horizon fabric, so I hacked it up into little rectangles and the leader-ender project was born.

Stamp cutting

This is very pretty fabric, but I kept thinking about Bonnie Hunter’s line, “If the fabric is still ugly, you haven’t cut it small enough.”  These are really small rectangles and this would be a perfect stash scrap project.

After I started it, I did a little more investigation so I could properly credit the designer and the pattern is called Stamp by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts.  Of course!  I love her stuff!!

Now that the piecing is finished on French Kiss, I’m sewing the blocks together for Stamp before I lose them!

    Rhonda, I love your quilt made with the leaders. Isn’t it amazing the quilts that can be made from such little pieces? Great job!

    I find that funny if it is still ugly fabric it is not cut small enough- I can relate to that!!

    Love your bright version! I do leader-enders all the time – sometimes have three different things rolling through the machine! Probably depends on how a person’s mind works best. I love your idea of organizing the pieces in a cardboard box, too. Great idea!

    Wonderful project you’ve got started. What color do you think you’ll do the sashing in? A great use of a jelly roll.
