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...

2022 Finished Quilts

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...

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...

Last week, knowing that I would be working on getting all the blocks sewn together for the Sesen Bonus Quilt, I decided to run a few polls in my Instagram stories allowing people to vote on the layout for the top. I was surprised that the majority of people voted for Option B. A and B are very similar, but...

Crazy as it may sound, I am thankful for my seam ripper. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I chain pieced the center four-patch of quarter circle blocks for all 12 blocks, and they came together just fine. But when I sewed on the bottom border for my test block, it looked a little bit funny when...

Short and sweet for my update today: I was able to get all the Sesen Bonus Quilt 5½" quarter circles trimmed square. This is the pile of trimmings, turned into one #FriendlyFabric Monster. I like the way the monster appears to be leaving a trail of lint and dust behind it as it sweeps across my cutting mat. I used...

I keep thinking to myself, tomorrow I'll have more time to sew. But somehow life continues to add surprises and new things for me to focus my attention on. At this point I should know better, but ever the optimist, I do keep thinking, "tomorrow!" After all my prep work last week, I was able to sit down and chain...

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,...
