a multicolored quilt laying on the ground

Welcome to finish it up Friday! I finished my quilt! This one took me on quite a journey. It feels so personal and like such a milestone for reasons I can't express. I will say, however, that I am absolutely pleased with how it turned out. I think the amount of photos to follow prove that. :) The top is made up of 100% scraps. Mainly Kona cottons, but several other brands make an appearance including a few shot cottons and a few Oakshott scraps. Spiral quilting was done in a light gray…

a multicolored quilt hanging on the side of a wooden wall next to a white chair

I, along with Helen of Midget Gem Quilts, recently hosted a QAL for making the absolutely gorgeous Postcard from Sweden quilt, a pattern I downloaded from Craftsy (free!!) shortly after I became a member. It is designed by the talented Kelly of Jeli Quilts. Here is my finished quilt back in April on the little stone bridge over Mill Creek which runs into Lake Erie: Whilst making the quilt, I came up with a few strategies, as it were, (I'm channelling my mum here, I can hear her voice in my…

a couch with a colorful quilt on it

Quote: Originally Posted by Christy I may have overlooked the explanation but when you say "farmhouse quilt"s, is it a certain pattern or is it a style of putting the quilt together? The longer I am a quilter, and it's only been about 4 1/2 years, the more I understand my way of choosing a quilt to make and that other people don't do that the same way as I do. Up to this point I have chosen a quilt by seeing something already done and deciding I would like to make that. I don't choose kits…

many different colored pieces of cloth hanging on a wall

This quilt is made up of big blocks, each one of a different child figure. I arranged solids as colorful backgrounds and paired them with various print fabrics to ensure a nice spread of patterns, colors and value. It looks happy, no? Come see the first blocks!

three colorful towels are hanging on a clothes line outside in the sun with trees in the background

I spent a solid two weeks this spring hand-stitching a zillion little yo-yos using RJR's Cotton Supreme Solids. They were each like little gems, perfectly round and fluffy and dazzling saturated in color. Problem was, when I went to put them together for the What Shade Are You blog hop RJR has organized, I was

Our daughter Kate's been married for almost 8 years...I can't believe it's been that long! This is the quilt I made a few years ago from her reception decorations... We had silk "placemats" on the center of each table. A larger magenta or orange rectangle, then a green square set on point on that...topped with a grouping of bead wrapped glasses filled with gerber daisies in bright magenta and orange, along with some mini lime green mums. The colors really popped against the white…

how to pick a quilt color palette

I set a goal last year of working with a new quilt color palette, and while I mentioned this goal briefly in my 2022 recap, I also wanted to dive a little deeper into how I pick a quilt color palette, including adding or subtracting a color from an already established palette. First of all, I don’t know why I thought I needed to branch out to try new colors. I made this very bright and very interesting color combination Sensation Quilt several years ago, so clearly, I have already stepped…
