Meringue Quilt {Pieced Quilt Top}

When I got distracted last week by the large scraps created from piecing Meringue, I really was only a few seams away from finishing the quilt top. So, I sewed the final few seams and asked my husband to sneak outside with the quilt top between rain showers to get a few photos. In the first 5 days of May,...

I am officially distracted by a new idea. As I was piecing together the Meringue quilt, I set aside the large scraps knowing that I would have an opportunity to play with design ideas to create a Meringue bonus quilt. Well, the stack of offcuts was so tempting that I've set aside piecing the Meringue quilt and been having...

I was cutting fabric to prepare to test out the Meringue quilt pattern, and I noticed that I could get a little bit creative and save some fabric if I cut drunkard's path concave templates differently than I normally recommend in a pattern. Well, one thing lead to another and I decided it was worth a side trip of...

Rainbow Circle Mini Mini Quilts

After spending a few weeks quilting the Sequenced quilt, I had some computer work to catch up on. Then I second guessed my initial fabric pull for my next project (I'll share a blog post about that when the replacement fabric arrives), so instead of jumping into another big project, I decided it was time to have the joy...

Current Stash Fabrics Kona Club Storage Solution

I have officially received one third of the Stash Fabrics Kona Club fabric. In January, I wasn't sure how I was going to store all this fabric so I put it all back in the box it was shipped in and tucked it away in my "super closet" for later consideration. I am getting a yard of each color,...

Sometimes, a quilt tells you what it wants. Different colors, specific quilting motifs, a particular binding; whatever the case may be. Sesen has taught me that sometimes quilt patterns can tell you what they need to be. Today, after taking the time to really listen to what the quilt had to teach me, I am really pleased to be...

Sequenced Quilt

The quilting on Sequenced, the bonus Sesen quilt, came together much quicker than I anticipated, and I just love the additional texture and detail it gives the design! Sequenced is a 60" x 80" quilt, which was a comfortable size for my husband to hold inside when we tested out holding the quilt... but he had to balance on his...

I'm really happy to get to share the finished Planview quilt that I made during the quilt along. I made the baby size in the lava colorway, and I couldn't be happier with how it all came together! As much as I love a good all over finish photograph, I wanted to lead with a photo of the back of...

Sequenced Quilting Update

I've made good progress quilting the Sequenced quilt this week. At 60" x 80", it's a good size to manipulate through the throat space of my Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini, which has a throat space of approximately 8 3/4" wide by 5 3/4" tall. I started out with the matching background thread, 50wt Aurifil 1200 (Blue Violet) and stitched around...

Marking Quilting Lines {Sequenced Quilt}

I took my time last week to slowly, methodically, and safely (for my knees and back) mark lines on the Sequenced quilt top with my Hera marker. At 60" x 80", the Sequenced quilt takes up the entire floor space of my "living room" when I roll up the carpet. I layered the quilt top on top of the batting...

In early February, I finished piecing the Sesen bonus quilt top. I was not sure how I wanted to quilt it, and I had another project I wanted to complete for a friend, so the Sequenced quilt top got set aside for over a month. Over the weekend, I decided it was time to sit down and put some...

The baby size version of Planview finishes at 40" x 48", which will be a fun size to quilt on my domestic Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini. Before putting a lot of thought into...
