Bohippian Quilt – Work in Progress #2 – 70s Vibes

  I’m finally done with the second round for my Bohippian quilt. I talked about Bohippian last in this progress post. It’s taken me two months to get the White Linen hexies on. I’m thinking I must be really slow, but I’m working an hour or two mostly daily while bingeing whatever show I’m bingeing…

Little Miss Sawtooth Star Quilt #11 – Turquoise, Yellow and Coral – Quilt Reveal

  I’ve just finished up my 11th Little Miss Sawtooth quilt! Whew! I really enjoy making this quilt. I love the flow of the pattern. You make all your star points in the very beginning, so once those are done, it’s just block after block and each one different. I actually have a bit of…

Dresden Bohemia – #6 – Anthologie Quilt Along

      We’ve come to the big section of Dresden plates for the Anthologie quilt. Squee!! I am so ridiculously into making Dresden plates and I got so excited to make these again. There’s so many of these in this quilt and it can get a bit confusing, so I’m going to walk you…

Balance Bundle – Monday is All About Fabric – #171

  Hello! I only skipped one week of these Monday posts, but it feels like it’s been forever. 🙂 Today we have a new Balance bundle available and this one leans a bit blushy which I am absolutely loving. I even told Wade that I thought it was the prettiest Balance we’d ever put together….

This chapter focuses on organic and curved movemen This chapter focuses on organic and curved movement, where the goal is less about perfection and more about flow. Paisley, toothpaste swirls, organic squiggle lines, and S-curves all ask for a slightly different kind of attention, but together they build a really solid foundation for all-over quilting.This has been one of my favorite chapters to stitch. 👏 I really enjoyed this one.quiltyclass.com
We’re playing with swirl variations this week, som We’re playing with swirl variations this week, some loose and flowy, some a little more structured. Come see Chapter 4 of Quilt As Desired class and quilt with me. I am LOVING this project!
We are stumbling through this class. Getting our p We are stumbling through this class. Getting our practice in. That is what makes you better. PRACTICE. There's no cheat code, sadly. Just work through the lessons. We will make some yuck stitches and that is OKAY! Just keep going, prettiness is on the other side of all this work.Come join us at Quilt Class if you want to quilt along. This class is available as standalone or part of the club.

In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are id In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are ideal for borders and sashing:Swirls in a borderSwirls are a classic FMQ design, but they are not the easiest to master. When I first started quilting, my swirls were always a little too pointy or just kind of strange looking. Honestly, mine still sometimes come out a little funky. That’s okay. We stitch anyway and keep building that rounded movement.Ribbon candyRibbon candy is beautiful and traditional, but let’s just say it can feel a bit hard. We try a looser approach too, and I show you a version I used in the borders of my Dilly Dally quilt that I absolutely love.Wishbone loopsWishbones are a personal favorite. I usually quilt them as a filler, especially inside flower centers. In this chapter, we take that familiar design and try it in a border space to give it a new role.Join in at Quilty Club - http://www.quiltyclub.com/
