My fabric choices...
I’m home!!!! Time to have a quilting party!!! Seriously so excited to be home and not traveling for work for the next two weeks. Maybe my quilting life can get back to normal. I decided to do a roundup this week to get my head wrapped around everything that is on my WIP (works in progress) or UFO (unfinished object) lists. But let’s start with...
Block 6 is revealed! Sandra Healy of Sandra Healy Designs designed Block 6, Hanging Star Angel Block. This block uses piecing for the background and applique for the stars and the angels. I ended up using a mixture of Moda Grunge and other metallic fabrics for this block.
Autumn is my FAVORITE season of the year! Too bad it’s almost 90 degrees today. I’ve been so wiped out by my day job these last few weeks, I feel like all the quilting goals I’ve set for myself have been overly aggressive. It seems like the only thing I’ve mentally be able to do is sew on binding. I also apologize I’m behind on...
One of my favorite parts of quilting is binding because it’s the last part that is needed to finish off the quilt! I taught myself how to join the ends of my binding because I didn’t like the way the folded or tuck binding looked. I also didn’t realize there was a huge market for all sorts of binding tools, so my method uses nothing...
I am so proud to share the Snowman block I designed! I used Moda Grunge Evergreen, White Paper, Onyx, and Red for the piecing portion of the block. Mr. Snowman’s nose is a Moda Grunge Orange scrap. When we first started planning this QAL, I jumped at the chance to make a Snowman block! Snowmen are my favorite thing about winter and the holidays, especially...
I am so excited to share my newest pattern with you today! Introducing Circular Illusion! When looking at this quilt from a distance, it gives an optical illusion of circles. However, it looks like simple patchwork up close. Circular Illusion is a beginner friendly pattern made with fat quarters or fat eighths and would look great using collections as well as scrappy fabric from your stash!
Block 4 is revealed! Jennifer Fulton of Inquiring Quilter designed Block 4, Christmas Memories. The week is a doubleheader so there is another post to show Block 3 (and there are separate prizes too)! This ornament block has a lot of intricate applique. I used Moda Grunge White Paper as my background and all sorts of different metallic fabric for the ornaments. Using raw edge...

Block 2 is revealed! April Adams from JANDA Bend Quilts designed this amazing block! The block is made with templates or paper piecing. Sticking with the Moda Grunge theme, my tree tops are Grunge Evergreen, the trunks are Grunge Basics Bison, and the background is Grunge White Paper.
