Jenny Doan demonstrates how to make a quick and easy Building Blocks quilt using 10 inch squares of precut fabric (layer cakes). For this project she chose Sensibility 10" Squares by Maywood Studio. This is a great quilt for beginners, and it can be made scrappy, modern, or any other style you like!

Today, I would have been greeting Laura and Charlotte, just a couple of my students, to my Flutter class at the Garden of Quilts event but as you are aware, there are no classes, lectures, demos or trunk shows this year (above picture taken at LAST year's Garden of Quilts event). Flutter is such a fun, happy and lively design that we patterned with Hidden Shoofly as part of our TWO Designs in ONE Pattern concept!! Do you want to know why? If you look closely at the Flutter block, you'll see…

For a couple of months now, I have been trying to land on a block design for my next Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt. There were some types of fabric scraps I really wanted to focus on so I needed a block that had spaces for them. I wanted to clean out some scraps with multiple colors and low volumes that had a lot of color in them. I finally found a block that was going to work perfectly for what I wanted (thanks to Cathy and Diann). My blocks look very different than theirs because they are…

This simple Staircase block will make a stunning finished quilt. Scroll down to see how the blocks will look when several are combined.

Happy Monday to you! I'm excited to share another finished quilt! This one has been a favorite for me. The fabric is just so pretty that it was pleasure at every step. I used a single layer cake of April Showers by Bonnie & Camille. The inspiration was this quilt I made with a jelly roll and charm pack of Luna Notte by 3 Sisters. I've always loved that quilt...it's cherished in our home, but I was wanting to do a brighter, more modern version of the pattern. I didn't have any coordinating…

Alright - here it is! The final block in our Patchwork Quilt Along journey. I can't believe it's already month 12. All year we've been sewing along with the Fat Quarter Shop as they released a new block each month. Can I just tell you how excited I am to get to the next step and be able to start piecing these blocks together? Here's my basket of all 72 blocks! This month's block is called Mother's Own and you can find the free block pattern here (scroll down to where the December block is…

Below is my fabric for the Splash of Color Quilt a Long at Busy Hands Quilts. I am making the cover quilt on the book Splash of Color - A Rainbow of Bright Black-and-White Quilts. I went through my scrap bin and pulled out some of the bright colors that I like. I actually decided to make two quilts for this quilt a long! My second one will be black and white with yellow. I have made this one before and I love the pattern because it uses big blocks with just a hint of color. Love this QAL…
