Para Para Quilt #3 – Spirited Version – Quilt Reveal

Para Para Quilt #3 – Spirited Version – Quilt Reveal

  I’ll be talking about the Para Para quilt today. This one has sat unfinished since February/March. We had the Para Para quilt along at the beginning of the year and seems like it finished up right around the time Covid began or became widespread. I became involved with other things and the quilt top…

Quilt Reveal – Para Para Quilt #2 – Violet Sky Fabrics

  She’s done!!  I feel so good about this one.  It’s very rare for me not to have some changes I wish I had made on fabrics, but on this quilt I really love all the fabrics used and how they look together.  I did get creative with my free motion quilting too and that’s…

Pattern Release – Para Para Quilt

  It’s release day!!  I love this quilt y’all.  It’s one of my favorites.  It’s not an easy one, it’s one you sink your teeth into and have to pay attention to.  BUT sometimes that’s exactly what you need and want!  I love that’s it’s square, that it’s HUGE (80″), that it’s a sampler of…

Work in Progress – Para Para Quilt #2 – Violet Sky Fabrics

  I feel like I’ve been doing everything in slow motion.  There’s not seeming to be enough hours in the day lately.  I’m ten days late having this quilt top completed (a self imposed deadline).  I’m distracted with doing nothing and I’m starting to get on my own nerves.  Do you ever feel this way? …

  Well, she’s done.  My very last finish in 2019 and the one I spent all of 2019 wanting to make.  If you missed my last posts on this Para Para quilt, you can find them here, here and here. Happy New Year by the way!  I’m looking forward to 2020 and I’m getting asked…

Work in Progress – Para Para Quilt – Finished Quilt Top

  Last week I finished my first Para Para quilt top.  Finally!  Y’all, I have been dreaming about this quilt since early 2019 and now that I’ve finished it, well, finished the top, I am ecstatic.  I’m already dreaming up the next one. I should be quilting her up in the next day or two…

Photo 1: I used to work so hard trying to get flyi Photo 1: I used to work so hard trying to get flying geese to come out the exact right size. Every time. Now I just make them a little bigger and trim them down, the same way we do half square triangles. So much easier. So much cleaner. Being open to changing your method… even after years of doing it one way matters.Photo 2: And this paper plate system? I didn’t expect to love it this much. One plate per block. Everything I need, all in one spot. If I have time for one block, I grab one plate. If I have time for three, I grab three. Less mess. Less digging. More sewing. quiltyclass.com
All organized! Thanks to my friend Kathy for sugge All organized! Thanks to my friend Kathy for suggesting this brilliant idea of using paper plates. Each plate represents every piece needed for a single block. Super helpful for Soulshine since the blocks have a gazillion pieces! quiltyclass.comCabinet from @arrowsewing

I can't remember if I've showed this one here or n I can't remember if I've showed this one here or not. The quilt top was sitting in a closet for two years. Then I quilted it, and then it sat on a table quilted, but not bound for several months. FINALLY it's done. 😊 Sometimes these things just take how long they take. ❤️ https://meanderandmake.com/quilt-kits/fernweh-quilt/
