I'm really pleased to be able to mark my final long term WIP off my 2020 goals; my Modern Plus Sampler quilt is finished! The air quality here continues to be atrocious, so no outdoor finish photos of the quilt. I have been suffering through a bit of depression; I could handle being home and only going to the grocery...

As I mentioned on Monday, I am taking a bit of a detour so that I can wrap up a long term WIP. It has been a little over a year and a half since I pieced the Modern Plus Sampler quilt top. The Modern Plus Sampler was a quilt along hosted by my friends Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs)...

Modern Plus Sampler {Pieced Top}

I have really loved participating in the Modern Plus Sampler quilt along hosted by my friends Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms) this year, and I am thrilled to be able to say I have my quilt top pieced together. I would have loved to get a better photograph of the quilt top, but my design wall is...

Modern Plus Sampler {Paper Pieced Areas}

I have been looking forward to piecing the Paper Pieced areas of the Modern Plus Sampler quilt along, hosted by Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms), based on the fact that I created a version of the Kaleidoscope Plus quilt last year. Unsurprisingly, the Kaleidoscope Block came together quickly for me. Too quickly in fact. If you look toward...

Modern Plus Sampler {Applique Areas}

I knew we would get to this month eventually: it's time to make the Modern Plus Sampler Applique Blocks for the Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along hosted by Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms). My domestic sewing machine, a Juki TL-2200QVP Mini, is a straight stitch only machine, so my game plan was to use the Crafted Applique...

Modern Plus Sampler {Rick Rack Areas}

Like Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) mentioned when she and Paige (Quilted Blooms) introduced the Rick Rack Areas at the beginning of the month, how is it already November? Well, I was able to get my Rick Rack Areas pieced before Thanksgiving, so I'm feeling good about my piecing progress this month. The background fabric is a FreeSpirit Kaffe Fassett shot...

Modern Plus Sampler {Transparency Plus Block}

Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms) were so right: after the 40 small plus blocks that we pieced for last month in the Modern Plus Sampler QAL, the Transparency Plus block for October came together very, very quickly! This is the first time we have used Fabric E and Fabric F (the two outer stripes of color in...

Modern Plus Sampler QAL {Small Plus Area}

Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms) have us piecing together (40) small plus blocks this month in the Modern Plus Sampler QAL. With a bit of chain piecing spaced out over a few days, my collection of blocks came together. I opted to oversize my blocks and trim them down to final size per the instructions within...

Modern Plus Sampler QAL {Tribal Rows}

I was out of town when Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms) released the first set of piecing instructions for their Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along: Tribal Rows. Once I got home and settled, I was excited to dig in to see how my fabric selections for the QAL begin to work together. We worked with 3 of...

I think it should come as no surprise that I am going to sew along with the Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along hosted by my good friends Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms). The quilt combines most of the plus blocks from their awesome book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts, into a beautiful 63" x 78" sampler quilt....
