One of my favorite aspects of piecing Curve Star Blocks and Inset Curve Stars are the large scraps that are left over. As I was piecing Sesen, I set aside the large Kumquat and Coral scraps knowing that I'd be making a bonus quilt using them soon. In early November (I thought it was just a month ago, wow,...

Because we made 2 blocks in April during the Old School BOM, I wanted a layout that would accommodate all 13 blocks that were made during the Old School Block of the Month. This layout is a very straight forward solution to having 13 different blocks that finish at 12" square, so I thought I'd share what you'd need...

And just like that, the Old School Block of the Month is wrapped up! This month, Sherri Falls from This and That Patterns released a delightful block, Christmas Blossom, to wrap up the year. The only green that I had enough to use for the block was a bit lighter than I would have ideally liked, but overall I really...

The final block for the Old School Block of the Month is scheduled to be released on Sunday. After piecing my November block, I started thinking about how I want to assemble my blocks in a final layout. I'm still not entirely certain how it is going to come together, but I knew I wanted to get some additional...

It's been about 2½ weeks since I shared how I developed the quilting plan for Sesen. It was a busy few weeks with Thanksgiving, my final virtual guild lecture for 2021, and the start of the Planview Quilt Along, but I've made good progress along the way and today I want to share a few things I've tried differently...

It's hard to believe there is only one more block to make to wrap up the Old School BOM. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Today I'm sharing my version of the November block, Walk in My Footsteps, which was designed by Katy Cameron (The Littlest Thistle). Walk in my Footsteps is a really sweet adaptation of a bear paw...

Planview Quilt Along {Fabric Requirements}

As an engineer, I created plans to communicate how to manufacture parts that I developed. Plans are two-dimensional diagrams used to describe an object and communicate building and/or fabrication instructions. A plan view is a projection looking down on the object, like in a floor plan for a house. This design started by overlapping various sizes of rotated plus...

After getting the Sesen quilt top pieced, I placed it up on my design wall and sat back and thought about how I wanted to quilt it. The first time I made Sesen, I made it as a commission and I opted for an allover free motion quilted meander motif for several reasons (cost, a link back to the...

Sesen {Pieced Quilt Top}

I write my patterns to have enough extra fabric to allow for cutting mistakes, but in my excitement earlier this year, I placed my fabric order for this version of Sesen before I finalized the pattern and fabric requirements. Which shouldn't be a big deal, because I've already made one version of the quilt, right? But I opted to...

Sesen Bonus Quilt Musings

I got a bit distracted over the weekend by the scraps from piecing the Sesen curve star blocks. I love that the scraps created by my patterns that use curve star blocks can be quickly transformed into another quilt (the Sky Full of Stars pattern also offers the Hang On bonus pattern and the Pistils & Pollen pattern also...

Sesen Piecing Progress

Due to the number of mistakes I made in piecing the sample quilt for the Playful Partial Seams workshop, I'm definitely going slower and paying a lot more attention to my instructions as I'm working through piecing Sesen. The great thing about the start of the pattern is that it begins by making curve star blocks, which are easy...

After finishing the mini quilt sample for my QuiltCon Playful Partial Seams workshops, I knew it was time to dive in and start working on the Sesen workshop sample. I've had the fabric on hand for a long time, but before diving in and cutting all the fabric, I knew I needed to go back through the pattern carefully....

After the excitement of getting to share my block in September, I was ready to sew up another block for the Old School Block of the Month. The October block, Courthouse Steps, was shared by Pat Sloan. I was really inspired by some early versions of the block that were sewn together by quilters following along with the block of...

TDR Queen {Making Progress}

After pausing on working on the TDR Queen (Playful Partial Seams workshop sample mini quilt), I was able to come back and make better progress on moving it forward. Most importantly, I was able to cut correctly from the background fabric. Whew. With the correct cut under my belt, I was able to successfully get the mini quilt pieced without...

TDR Queen

When it comes to following quilt patterns, I do not do a good job. This sample quilt that I tried to start making for my Playful Partial Seams QuiltCon 2022 workshop is a good example of knowing when to stop for the day. But I'm getting ahead of myself a bit; let's start at the beginning. There are several aspects...

On August 4th, I submitted Pulsar for consideration for the upcoming Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF), to be held in Santa Clara Convention Center on October 14-17. A few weeks ago, I started seeing quilters on Instagram posting that their quilts had been juried in and selected to hang at the show. I did not receive an email, so...

Once I had a quilting plan in mind, I was ready to get started quilting the Planview Quilt. I basted the quilt in two sessions: half before lunch and half after lunch, so it felt like it went quickly. And I am still very much an advocate of pinning the batting to the backing around the edge of the...

Today, I want so share the process I went through to come up with a quilting plan for my Planview quilt. I use an app on my iPad called Procreate (I think I paid $9.99 for it) which allows me to use an Apple pen to doodle out quilting motifs. I'll explain more about how I work through the...
