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

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 Quilt #11 – Coral, Turquoise + Yellow

  Yes, yes, yes, I’m making another Little Miss Sawtooth quilt. Don’t be judging me! 🙂 This one is a commissioned quilt and it’s meant to look like the original version, but a bit smaller. This time I’m making it 60″ square. And it’s my eleventh Little Miss quilt. Yah, I know, I know! Lol….

Morning Sun Quilt #3 – Peach and Gold – In Progress

  I get excited about almost every quilt I make, but I’m over the moon with this latest Morning Sun quilt. Peach on peach on peach on gold. This quilt may end up being my most favorite quilt ever. Pattern for this one is called Morning Sun quilt. Morning Sun is actually an older pattern…

Work in Progress – A Dresden Quilt #8 – Pink + Peach Combo

  This one is a commission quilt and let me tell you it is taking FOREVER. I don’t make many king size quilts. This one measures 108″ square and every step of it is taking longer than I anticipated, which makes perfect sense since it’s so large. Still, I’m loving watching it come together. Pattern…

Work in Progress – Bohippian Quilt – 70s Vibes

  You may remember this quilt. I loved that rescue quilt! Since I didn’t make it though, it wasn’t in MY colors. So I got it into my head that I need to get busy on a flower garden quilt made in the same manner with all the things about that rescue that I loved,…

Work in Progress – Moon Goddess #3 – The Golden Bronze and blue one

  I spent so much time planning this one.  My step daughter is having a baby in November and her shower is this coming weekend and that’s who this one will be gifted too.  I knew I wanted to make another Moon Goddess and I wanted the colors paired way down.  Moon Goddess is written…

There are some projects that give me the same gidd There are some projects that give me the same giddy, obsessive feeling I had when I first discovered patchwork. And this mini quilt wall is doing it for me.

I vividly remember 2008, sitting on Google and finding all these blogs with pictures of patchwork. Any patchwork at all. I was hit with this massive need to cut it all up and sew it all back together.

And then, every once in a while, boom. A new quilty project comes along and you get that same loving rush of excitement all over again. I’m always chasing those old feelings. 🩷

I always love this part. The sewing is done, the quilting is done, and all that's left is getting it up on the wall.

For this one, I used two hanging loops instead of the three I used on my sample. Both work great, but if you're curious, the third loop does a better job of hiding the pushpin. Little details like that always seem to matter more to me after the quilt is finished 😅

In this final chapter, we're adding fabric hanging loops, inserting the dowel, and getting the mini quilt up on the wall. It's a short chapter, but it's the one that takes the project from finished quilt to finished display.

I finally got the Dresden attached, and seeing it sitting on that quilted background made me ridiculously happy. All those little blades, all that straight line quilting, and now it actually looks like the quilt I’ve been seeing in my head.
I went with the traditional method on this one, top stitching around the edges and stitching in the ditch between the blades. It takes a little more stopping and starting, but I really love the definition it gives the Dresden.
And yes, I definitely spent some time just standing there looking at it before moving on 😅
