Fiery Labyrinth Ready for the Quilter

By Andrea | November 8, 2012 |

I’m always amazed how much faster quilt backs go together than the front, even when you have a decorative back. The back on the White Labyrinth quilt was supposed to have a 20-inch inset block in it, using the fabrics from the front.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough strips in lengths I needed, so my…

Zen Chic Quilt Top

By Andrea | November 6, 2012 |

I have finished the quilt top for my Zen Chic White Labyrinth quilt, which I have dubbed my Fiery Labyrinth Quilt. It’s not near as perfect as I would have liked. Somehow my blocks ended up being much more rectangular than square, which would have been fine if they were all going the same way. …

Zen Chic White Labyrinth Quilt

By Andrea | October 30, 2012 |

I’ve recently started another quilting project.  I’m making the White Labyrinth quilt by Zen Chic. As I mentioned in my post about my favorite quilt designers, I’ve been looking forward to making this quilt for a while, and I’m really glad to be getting the chance to do it. My Fabrics The materials list actually…

Yellow Spiral Done

By Andrea | October 27, 2012 |

The yellow spiral quilt is officially finished!  I completed the top a couple weeks ago, but couldn’t decide what to do about the binding.  With Friday having been the Friday Night Sew-In, I wanted to get it out of the unfinished pile.  After all, I’ve already started another quilt you’ll hear about in a few…

Friday Night Sew In

By Andrea | October 26, 2012 |

I’m doing Friday Night Sew-In tonight!  It’s my very first one. Tonight I’m planning to add the binding to my yellow spiral quilt and hopefully get a little more done on my newest quilt project, or maybe make a zip pouch that goes with my Weekender bag.

A Long Weekend

By Andrea | October 18, 2012 |

The quilting is finished on my yellow spiral quilt.  Now all that’s left to do is the binding. I still haven’t decided how I want to bind it.  I’m either going to do a basic 1/4-inch binding in the yellow, or I’m going to do a wider binding (1-2 inches) in the multicolored pattern I…

Basting & Quilting

By Andrea | October 16, 2012 |

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.…

Yellow Spiral Quilt Finished

By Andrea | October 9, 2012 |

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…

Stitch in Color Quilt

By Andrea | October 8, 2012 |

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…

Shiny Chevron Top Finished!

By Andrea | October 3, 2012 |

I’m so excited!  I got all the shiny chevron quilt  top done!  And I love, love, love, love, love the way it looks! I started with the interior section (the actual chevrons). The finished size of this section is approximately 40×30 inches. For this project I used the 4 HST block tutorial, I showed you…
