Basting & Quilting
I’m in the process of finishing up the Yellow Spiral Quilt. I got the back on the quilt (with it’s pinwheel) finished on Friday. It was a quick and simple project, being mostly the solid yellow. I got my batting picked up over the weekend, so I was able to get everything pin basted- mostly.…
Read MoreYellow Spiral Quilt Finished
I’ve decided that the official title of the HST quilt I made using the yellow broadcloth and A Stitch in Color charm pack will be called the yellow spiral quilt. And guess what?! The top is done! Of course, that’s no thanks to my husband who called when I was in the middle of the…

I’ve decided that I must really have a problem. I finished my Shiny Chevron quilt top on Tuesday and started a new quilt top on Wednesday. I think I’m addicted to the ability to play with color and layout to create unique designs from basic elements. My newest project is using more stuff from my…

Thanks to my attempt to avoid finishing the (not) Purdue quilt top last week, I got myself started on another – much smaller – project, using my fabrics with gold metallic ink. For this project, I’m planning to use several fat quarters of fabric, along with a couple larger pieces of fabric I had in…
Read More(Not) Purdue Quilt Top Finished!
I’m super excited that I’ve got the quilt top for my little sister Samantha done! As you may recall, she wanted a “Purdue quilt, that wasn’t really a Purdue quilt.” My solution? Use Purdue colors in a fun scrappy pattern. I ended up using the Squares & Strips quilt top tutorial from Cluck, Cluck, Sew!…
