Quilt Reveal – Star Dance Quilt #3

My latest Star Dance quilt is finished. Here is the thing about this quilt.  It always starts out so lovely.  I’ve picked a nice color palette, great fabrics.  I love the blocks while they are being made, and then once the quilt is on the design wall, I start thinking, “Ugh.” It’s been this way…

The cut…

Quilt Reveal – Hexagon #4 + Granny Chic style + Quilt Kit chatter

And again…… I have decided that my favorite part of quilt making is choosing and cutting the fabrics. Is that weird?  That I enjoy cutting fabrics. Sometimes I will spend near two hours standing at my cutting table simply cutting up the pieces for a quilt top. But I like it. I’m thinking that it’s…

Scraps with purpose

I think anybody who buys a lot of fabric ends up with a lot of scraps.  Anyone who cuts into there fat quarters and half yards knows what I’m talking about.  There are these pieces that end up leftover, not big enough to go back into where you keep your stash, but not small enough…

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. 🩷
