Quilt making is the process of thoughtful stitching, design, care, heart, mindfullness and time to create a practical, warm piece of usable art.

My name is Melanie and I'm happy you are here.

Do you make quilts too? I'd love to hear from you.

Are your quilt blocks not coming out the right size? In this excerpt from the Dilly Dally Quilt Class, I walk you through how to check your seam allowance and ensure your blocks or units finish at the correct size. I demonstrate by sewing 2" squares together, checking my 1/4" seam allowance, and measuring the finished piece to make sure it's accurate at 3 1/2". If your quilt blocks are coming out too small or too large, this video will help you troubleshoot and improve your accuracy for perfectly sized blocks every time!

Want to improve your quilt piecing accuracy? In this quick excerpt from my Dilly Dally Quilt Class, I'll show you exactly how to nest seams for perfect quilt blocks. Nesting seams helps align your patchwork, reduces bulk, and creates crisp intersections in your quilts. Whether you're a beginner or experienced quilter, this close-up tutorial will help you achieve professional-looking results in your quilt tops.
