Project Quilting 14.3 {54-40 or Fight}

When the prompt for PQ 14.3 came out on Sunday (54-40 or Fight), I was putting the finishing touches on a quilt that I will share with you next week. I wasn't sure I'd have time to participate, and the prompt's reference of the traditional 54-40 or Fight quilt block didn't immediately spark anything for me. But it was...

After making the Board & Batten HSTs, I cleared off my design wall and started planning out how I wanted the rainbow gradient to work across the quilt top. I'm making the baby size version of the pattern, which has 5 blocks in 3 rows. What I chose to do was move from the upper left to the upper right,...

After making the double four patch baby quilt last week, I thought I'd put together a really quick block and baby quilt tutorial for anyone who might be interested.

I needed to make 60 HSTs for the baby size version of Board & Batten. It honestly went quickly because of the prep work that I did when I cut my fabric. As you might be able to see in the photo above, I'm using a piecing thread that matches the background Kona Purple. Chain piecing the HSTs and cutting...

You may or may not remember me mentioning in December that my black print fabric stash had really been depleted. I don't have a particular need or project in mind, but I knew the bin was pretty empty. So in late December when I learned that Amy, the owner of Sewtopia, had a small fire in her house (not...

Board & Batten QAL {Fabric Cutting}

Cutting fabric is my least favorite step in the quilt making process. To help me feel a little more enthusiastic about getting started with the Board & Batten quilt along, I treated myself to a new OLFA blade on my rotary cutter. I know I should change my blade out a lot more frequently; this really did go a...
