Happy Folk Quilt – Gingerbread – 2nd In Progress

Happyfolk Quilt I last chatted about the progress of my Happyfolk quilt here. I’ve been slow moving on this one. Busy with other lovelies, I guess, but my heart is right here in this one though. It has all my favorite things happening…..low volume, Dresden plates, gold, peach. I’m in love with the color palette….

A Dresden Quilt #9 – Jewel Tones – In Progress

  A Dresden Quilt After a month of effort, I finally have a flimsy for my A Dresden Quilt. My 9th version of this quilt. Whew! This feels good! So much work and for a while there I thought I’d never get here. Dresdens are so tedious, so time consuming, but it’s hard to argue…

Happyfolk Quilt – Gingerbread – In Progress

Happyfolk I’ve started a new quilt this week. I designed this one late fall last year, but ended up giving it a huge adjustment just this past January. The blocks will be pretty big and each block features a Dresden in low volume fabrics. A double pointed Dresden! So much work! There’s not even that…

Scrappy 9-patch Quilt – Free Quilt Pattern – In Progress

Scrappy 9-patch Quilt This is a commission quilt I’ve been working on. It was simple and fun and took no time at all really. Plus, it gave me a chance to really get a hold of that purple stash drawer of mine. It’s rammed full as I hardly ever use purples, but seem to collect…

Sugar Bear Quilt – Funshine Bundle – In Progress

  Sugar Bear Quilt I designed Sugar Bear last summer (around June 2020) and I started writing the pattern the following August. It took me forever since the blocks are all so different and I was distracted by other projects, but around December the pattern was complete and I was just waiting for the moment…

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 πŸ˜…
