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?

February OMG Unteraegeri Log Cabin Quilt

The project I selected for February’s One Monthly Goal (OMG) challenge is this Unteraegeri Log Cabin quilt. I want to finish the quilting then bind it. This UFO has to be about 25 years old! The pattern is from a Quilt Sitters’ Circle group at Hearthside Quilters Nook in Hales Corner, WI. That shop has been closed for years but I still have a few UFOs from them. This log cabin quilt variation, designed by Mary Ellen Hopkins, was inspired by a trip she took to Unteraegeri, Sweden. We were a test group for this particular pattern but I don’t think she ever formally published it.

This quilt has always been a favorite of mine and you might wonder why I’ve let it go unfinished for so long. When I first started quilting (way back in the 1980’s), I took almost every class I could find. Not only did I start dozens of class projects, I also started projects of my own that were inspired by these classes. I wanted to learn all I could about technique, design and color. Finishing the project wasn’t as important as the learning process. Hundreds of great ideas in my head became hundreds of UFOs!

After 30 years of quilting, there’s not much left to learn. It’s time to finish some of these old projects and find good homes for them. I might keep this one for awhile though since it carries such good memories.  Mary Ellen Hopkins was such an inspiration to me and I learned so much from her. Even though she didn’t teach this class, I took many, many classes from her and she was always a bundle of energy and a true pioneer in the resurgence of quilting. Even though she’s been gone for over five years, I still thank her for lighting that fire in me.

Head over to Elm Street Quilts to check out other February OMG projects. Be sure to comment on a few to cheer those quilters to a finish!

    That quilt is amazing. And so complicated! I tried to work out the blocks from the photo and it looks like something I would easily get lost in. Truly beautiful. Please let us see the finished quilt.
