It seemed like I sparked some curiosity and questions about “phone book” quilts in my last post… It’s really just foundation blocks. By sewing the strips to paper it sets it better and prevents distortion because not every strip is straight, some are on the bias etc… I “could” have sewn pieces together without the …
This week’s block is JUST a Quarter Square triangle x3! it’s a 1/2 sized blocks easy peasy… You’ll need die #4 and fabrics B and C Cut out 6 of each! (I know unless you have the 9” set you’ have to cut out 8 of each- just put them aside, might need them later) …
The phonebook quilt has been started! the phonebook I got in the mail was very small and skinny, but that’s ok. I looked for phonebook quilts and found one on quiltville (couldn’t pin it) My measurements are not quite like hers, as my phone book was smaller, I ripped out pages carefully and cut them …
Hi everyone, it’s April 10th and that means block #10 for this blog hop hosted by Carla at Creatin’ in the sticks I signed up for this hop and picked the chunky pinwheel block I had a plan of using my 6” QUBE set and then I decided to use this fat eight bundle of …
This month’s theme with Island Batik is Looking back at Vintage quilts. Batiks are not vintage but more modern, so it was fun to think about ways to use them for something vintage.

I finished all the log cabin blocks and this is what’s left of the strips, which were the leftovers from the log cabin magazine quilt I had sketched out this layout in EQ and so far I sewed the top together like this, I really like it! But I don’t have this same black solid …
Nothing unlucky about block #13, it’s the easiest block in the whole quilt and you’ll be making 2 of them! A four patch is so simple and versatile! This is the smaller block that you can make with the QUBE set, so it’s a 1/2 block sized. You’ll use fabrics A and D and die …
I had this great idea for a new leader and ender project…. I have lots of white/beige fabrics and had this idea in EQ So I got out my 8” QUBE and lots of scraps, at first I cut the large white triangles, then the small triangles in white and solid brown and then lots …
