“My inspiration for this quilt came from the collection itself, A RETURN TO ELEGANCE and what could be more elegant than a ribbon running through the blocks, tying them together in a sophisticated on-point composition,” Lynn Wilder says of her new BOM for Marcus Fabrics READ MORE

I had fun making two more projects using my Scrappy 4-Patch Table Runner pattern. I used fabrics from my scrap bin for this matching runner and topper.

Made

August was another busy month in the sewing room for me. I finished up my Log Cabin quilt that I started with my 10-Day Challenge (see above). Next, I finished up my Moda Blockheads 4 large-blocks quilt and got that off to the quilter (I’ll be able to share that next month). And I have a plan for my Blockheads 4 small blocks, so I’ll be finishing up that soon. I’ve also finished up all of my Block of the Month blocks and am getting ready to set those quilts together. Additionally, I got some smaller projects finished up including a table topper and table runner using my Scrappy 4-Patch Runner pattern (pictured above) and some fun patchwork bags I’ll be sharing soon. Wow! I’ve really been trying to finish up things because we will have new fabrics arriving sometime in the next month or so and I’m pretty sure I’ll want to sew with it for the remainder of the year.

My Moda Blockheads 4 quilt…can’t wait to share this with you!

A Few Fun Finds + Movie Rec

This first find is completely random. But I recently found this amazing Sparkling Juice with fun flavors and no added sugar. It’s my end-of-the-workday treat to have one of these in the late afternoon. My favorite flavors so far are Mango, Blackberry, and Pomegranate (but peach is arriving soon)! Another completely random fun find was this–and now I’m using it every day! Finally, we just watched this movie over the weekend, and it was so good! I know it will be cheaper to rent soon, but for the price I’m so glad we bought it because I know we’ll watch it again. (And yes, I cried)!

September Calendar + Coming Soon

First, be sure to go here to grab your free September Calendar PDF (or click the button below).

The Log Cabin block is one of the most well-known and popular of all patchwork patterns.

What is the easiest quilt block to make?

Simple shapes: The easiest quilt patterns are made from simple shapes like squares and rectangles. Squares and rectangles are easy to cut and sew, since you don't need to worry about curves or bias edges.

What does the Ohio Star quilt block look like?

Ohio Star is a nine-patch quilt block made with five plain squares and four quarter-square triangle units. It's a classic block that's easy to make, but do take care to sew an accurate quarter inch seam allowance when assembling the patchwork units.

What is the star quilt pattern called?

This 8-point star quilt pattern is known by many names: ' LeMoyne Star', 'Puritan Star' and 'Lemon Star', to name a few. Who first created the pattern?
