I decided to have a Color of the Month, Block of the Month for 2024! I’ll keep it free (maybe I’ll turn it into a pattern AFTER it’s over, we’ll see) I’ll be using a QUBE set but only dies 1-8 so easy to also rotary cut! I’ll give rotary cutting directions for ONE size …
Happy Veteran’s day BTW, I totally forgot! It’s time for clue #5! last week we finished all the blocks so now it’s time to put them all together! for the sashing we cut in the beginning (40) 8 1/2″ x 2″ rectangles of fabric C and the (16) 2″ squares of fabric E I may …
It’s time for clue #4 and actually it’s the last block(s) If you need the cutting directions go here Start with 5 of the 4 1/2″ A squares (Shape #1) and add 4 (20) D quarter square triangles around it for each (shape #4) then also add 4 (20) D large half square triangles to …
It’s time for more blocks! This time they are also pinwheels but different! This time grab 32 of the quarter square triangles (shape #4) in fabric A and D and sew them together like this with the Main color A at the top and color D background on the right. If you need to see …
It’s time to start sewing! I figured we’d start with the easiest blocks and then progress to hard and harder- though none of the blocks are super hard! First grab 16 B and D large half square triangles (Shape #3) and sew them together into half square triangles (these now measure 4 1/2″) If you …
It’s time for the first “clue” again the quilt will be 59″ x 59″ and I made mine with the 8″ QUBE and I’ll provide rotary cutting for this size only BUT you can use other QUBE sizes if you want to make it smaller or bigger, the blocks are super easy! See yardage here …
I recently got an email from someone asking if I’d do another QAL soon- she missed the MONDAY posts….. I’m always working on NEW quilts and I had just started thinking about another one and figured I could turn it into a QAL, this one I don’t have as a pattern yet so it’ll …
all that’s left of the Defenestration quilt is to quilt it and make the binding! Here’s mine!! I quilted with a design called Modernish in black thread Because the top is wider than a WOF, I added a yellow bee stripe down the middle of it. Get the pattern here or the same KIT as …
How are you doing on the blocks? Hopefully you have the 12 blocks done so far!? Because I only used 6 fabrics, I knew it would be a bit trickier to “shuffle” things around so I put the blocks on my design board in a 3×4 layout like this Then with 17 of the #2 …
It’s time to sew the blocks together! Last week we created piles like this after sewing the HSTs together into blocks, then added 4 of shape #8 rectangles and a #2 square If you have directional fabrics, then pay attention to how the block is laid out and have the print right side UP Sew …
