The (Not Quite) Purdue Quilt
Ever since I told my youngest sister, Samantha, that I was making Kayla a quilt for her wedding, Samantha has wanted me to make her one. And now that I’ve used up a good portion of my scrap fabric and smaller stash pieces with the crazy quilt, the baby quilt for Lukas, the School Days…

As you may have noticed, I’ve done quite a bit of quilting recently… and by quilting, I mean piecing, because I’m not awesome enough to do my own quilting just yet. But, I haven’t been coming up with all the ideas myself. As a matter of fact, I spend a ton of time surfing the internet looking…

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…

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…
Read MoreCrazy About This Top
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…
