Board & Batten QAL {Finished Quilt}

I have been juggling more projects at once than I am totally comfortable with. So today, it's really exciting for me to get to move one of my work in progress projects to the completed column. Let's start with some details! I used my walking foot to quilt zig-zag lines that echo the angles of the HSTs, and I used...

I might not have sewn my Board & Batten Quilt Blocks together the day after I got them pieced, but pretty quickly after I had the blocks created, I got the quilt top pieced. What I struggled with more was decent lighting to photograph the quilt, and then I spent a bit of time pondering my quilting plan. I am...

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,...

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...

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...

I sewed along with the Bokeh Quilt Along and made a fun, rainbow inspired mini quilt. Today, I’m excited to get to share how it finished! Originally inspired by Create Navy Colour Me Happy Stripes by Kristy from Quiet Play, I knew that the featured curve star in the center and the binding would use that print. Unable to make...

I am currently working on a lot of different "secret sewing" projects, which is both exciting and frustrating. I definitely look forward to being able to share details about these projects when I can (stay tuned for more about some on Friday), but it's frustrating because I have less that I can share and talk about in the mean...
