Let’s make quilts…

Melanie Traylor

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.

🎉 In this free excerpt from the Dilly Dally quilt class, we’re diving into Flying Geese—one of the most beloved (and tricky!) quilting units. I’ll walk you through two different methods to make flying geese:1️⃣ One-at-a-time method (a classic snowball technique)2️⃣ Four-at-a-time method, made oversized and trimmed for better precisionI've updated this technique based on your feedback—because I know how frustrating flying geese can be when the points aren't just right! 💫 We’ll aim for that "perfect" flying geese unit: with 1/4" above the point and seams that land right in the corners. (Perfection is hard—but we’ll get close!)PLUS, you’ll get Block 38 and Block 39 from the Dilly Dally quilt pattern completely free in this tutorial. Whether you’re a beginner or just need a flying geese refresher, this is a must-watch!✨ LOVE THIS TUTORIAL?

The background in these blocks is my new #milklandfabrics . Coming to the shop in June and available to pre-order now. I'm going for a scrappy background on this quilt. This version of Dilly Dally I'm making uses my Tiny Terrazzo as the foreground.
A little look at my latest work. Blocks 38, 39, and 40 of #dillydallyquilt . If you are looking for a long project, come join us. These blocks are fun! ❤️
Curious about the SewQ Laser on my sewing machine? ✨ After sharing my hourglass block demo last week, I got a ton of questions about that little red line guiding my stitches, so in this video, I'm showing you exactly how the SewQ Laser works, how I use it, and why it's become one of my favorite sewing tools. Whether you're piecing hourglass blocks or just want straighter seams, this might be your new favorite gadget!🧵 Find the Sew Q laser here: http://shrsl.com/4svcw👉 Watch the hourglass block demo: https://youtu.be/LnxSHVYp43s Sewing Machine Station:-Juki 2000 on Amazon https://amzn.to/3hWdluI (affiliate link)-Dura snips (hanging on my machine) https://amzn.to/3P2XYOQ (affiliate link)-Washi Tape https://amzn.to/3BTuMXn (affiliate link)-Diagonal Seam Tape https://meanderandmake.com/toolkit-diagonal-seam-tape/-Sew Laser http://shrsl.com/4svcw (affiliate link)-Sewing machine light https://amzn.to/3QwGmLf (affiliate link)-Daylight Slimline lamp https://amzn.to/4aj7E0y (affiliate link)-Sewing cabinet http://shrsl.com/4u2uq (affiliate link)-Sewing chair http://shrsl.com/4u2ut (affiliate link)
Showing off my hourglass blocks for the Dilly Dally quilt today ⏳First up: classic hourglass. Simple, clean, and that pinwheel center gets me every time.Then there’s the Ohio Star (my forever favorite). It’s just so pretty and elegant.And finally... the intense one. Eight tiny hourglass units and a big fussy cut center. It took a minute, but so worth it. https://quiltclass.southerncharmquilts.com/
And... we’re diving into the hourglass section of the Dilly Dally quilt! ⏳I’m pressing all the seams open on these, and the points aren’t always perfect, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep stitching, keep breathing.
