Tootsie Pops Progress
Some progress has been made on my spring table runner. Aren't those blocks adorable? I thought I'd talk about the pattern and the block construction in case some of you might want to make this pretty runner for yourselves. The pattern, Tootsie Pops by Fig Tree, was designed to use those little 2 1/2" precut…

Tootsie Pops
I have been dreaming about spring table runners. I knew I didn't want anything too pastel, but definitely wanted fresh greens and maybe some lavender. No pattern or fabric collection stood out for me. That is until a couple of days ago when I was browsing through Instagram and saw the perfect spring table runner.…

Double Nine Patch Progress
I spent the end of last week and most of the weekend making tiny little 9 patch blocks. The 9 patches measure 3 1/2", and are used to construct a larger 9 inch block that contains either 4 or five of them. When the larger blocks are combined, they will form a simple Irish Chain…

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…

Pie Birds
This is the first completed block in a Kim Diehl table runner that is made up of seven of these little guys. It took quite some time to put it together, as each of those block triangles is actually two folded corner triangle units sewn together. You do the sew and flip method with the…

Alternate Block for Moda Blockheads Sew Along
I admit it, I have been stalled on the Moda Blockheads Sew Along because I couldn't figure out how I would sew the blocks together in a cohesive manner. I knew I wanted to use an alternate block, and I liked the idea of a single Irish chain, but it took me awhile to get…

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…

Courthouse Steps — 7 Blocks to Go
I am almost finished with these Courthouse Steps blocks. I have completed 74 and need a total of 81. Honestly, I have probably made more than 74, because I keep remaking some of the books that have colors I don't like so much. When I first started making the blocks, I used a bright orange/rust…

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…

Tessellations
Over the weekend I started a little tessellating table runner for my coffee table. I've had the pattern for ages, it's an old Teri Atkinson called Pinwheel Puzzle. I do not think it is currently available, but you may have it in your stash and not even realize it, just like i did. Anyway,…
