Double Nine Patch is a Finish
Honestly, I was not sure how much I was loving this quilt until I took all the dark brown nine patches out. Then it changed for me. It suddenly coordinated better with the border fabric I had on hand, and was just more pleasing to my eye. All the un-sewing I did on Sunday was…

Endearments
I can't tell you how much I love this little quilt!! It is "Endearments" by Betsy Chutchian, made with her fabric collection Rachel Remembered. The finished quilt measures 29 3/8" square, and has a Memorial Day/Fourth of July vibe to it. I can see keeping this out on my dining table from May through September.…

Waste Not, Want Not
I did. I cut this quilt up into a rectangular table runner. I just took a deep breath and let the rotary cutter do its thing. If you are just joining in, this is what I had to start with: The quilt is made up of seven rather complicated, labor intensive blocks, which are sewn…

Courthouse Steps is Finish
Courthouse Steps is finally a finish. This quilt has been at least a year in the making. I started out strong, then put the project away, and only brought it back out in the New Year. This is my year to Use It Up, so the quilt is made entirely of scraps from my stash…

Pinwheel Puzzle
My little Pinwheel Puzzle quilt is finished. I think I will put this one on the coffee table in my living room for a more toned down St. Patrick's Day accent. In fact, I could live with these colors all year long in my house. The pattern is an old one by Teri Atkinson, and…

All patterns are by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company: Full House (a Schnibbles pattern), Tiny Town and In…

Barn Stars Finished
Here is sweet little Barn Stars, a Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots offering from a couple of years ago. I had subscribed to the bi monthly kits, but quit the club when I realized the kits were piling up and I wasn't making them. I have recently dipped back into that bin of kits and have…

Loose Change
This scrappy nine patch quilt was inspired by a plastic bag full of 2 inch squares left over from another project, and the pattern "Loose Change" by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. The pattern is in a book called Miss Rosie's Quilt Collection. The Miss Rosie quilt is made from 2 1/4" strip sets. Since I…

I thoroughly enjoyed this year long saga, and want to thank Lisa for her generosity in hosting the sew along and providing the many different block settings.…

New Year’s Resolutions?
New Year's Resolutions? At first I was going to say "No, I don't believe in it", but I do have one. That is to get these two projects off my design walls!!!!!!! They have both been up there for the better part of 2017, and they must go. The one on the right is Triangle…
