Sassy Charm Quilt

By Andrea | July 4, 2012 |

As you know, I’ve got two different quilts ready to be quilted right now, but I’m just having way too much fun to stop.  I’ve already got my next quilt laid out.  It’s another quilt to help cut down on my fabric stash.  For this one, I’m using the Sassy charm pack by Sandy Gervais…

Backing for School Days Quilt

By Andrea | July 3, 2012 |

I’m very excited that I found some backing fabric for my School Days HST Quilt.  I stopped by my local quilt shop in hopes of finding some of the Red Composition fabric from the school days line.  No luck with that, but Quilts N’ Bloom did have a bolt of the Dot to Dot fabric…

School Days HST Quilt

By Andrea | June 28, 2012 |

I’ve been working on another small quilt recently, trying to use up some of my stash.   For this project I’m using the School Days Charm Pack by American Jane Patterns for Moda. I’m pairing the patterns with a dark blue floral I had purchased for some long forgotten project.  I actually think that the blue…

Crazy Quilt Tutorial

By Andrea | June 25, 2012 |

If you’re like me, you keep the scraps from all of your finished projects, hoping that you will find a use for them later.  Actually — I take that back — if you’re like me, you’ll collect everyone’s scraps in hopes of using them later.  I have a lot of scraps at my house –…

Lukas’s Quilt

By Andrea | June 22, 2012 |

You remember that quilt that I started at the beginning of the week?  I got it done!  I have decided that I absolutely love making small quilts.  Why?  Because they’re quick.  I love that I feel like I accomplished the same amount of work as a big quilt, even if it is smaller. The Road…

More Quilting

By Andrea | June 18, 2012 |

I may have just finished a quilt top, but that doesn’t mean I’m planning on taking a break from my quilting.  I’ve already got another (allbeit much smaller) project in the works.  This one will actually be small enough that I’m hoping to attempt to machine quilt it myself, using my sewing machine.  This particular…

Crazy About This Top

By Andrea | June 14, 2012 |

I’m crazy about this top, quilt top that is. I’ve got what I estimate to be between 60 and 70 hours and about $20 in this quilt top.  Since I used scraps for all the blocks, the only fabric I had to purchase was for the sashing. I’m trying to decide how to explain how…

Crazy Progress

By Andrea | June 13, 2012 |

I’m super excited that I finished the center section of the crazy quilt! I’ve still got to cut the scraps off of the edges, but the hardest part is done. Once this piece is cut down it should measure 82×44-inches.  And please excuse the bad photo, it’s way to big to get a decent photo…

It’s Getting Crazy

By Andrea | May 28, 2012 |

As you may have read in some of my previous posts (here, here, here, here, and here), I’m working on a crazy quilt.  I got a lot done on it over the weekend.  My original plan for the quilt involved sashing the 12-inch blocks in a dark grey – something like Kona Cotton in Charcoal. …

Super Secret Revealed

By Andrea | May 21, 2012 |

The super secret project is finally finished!  For those of you who didn’t know what it was, I made my sister Kayla a quilt as a wedding present and gave it to her as her Bridal Shower yesterday. While I was making this quilt, I noticed a few things that are the same about quilting…
