Row by Row Sampler Scrap Quilt 2024 This month, we will be creating a row of Greek Squares for the Row by Row Sampler. This block really held no appeal until I did them scrappy. The Greek Squares block lends itself to a scrap quilt. You have a decision to make before starting the block. Are you going to keep the scrap fabrics the same within the block, stick to a color family within the…
Row by Row Sampler – Adding Sashings This month, I also decided to give you the option to start adding your sashings to the Row by Row Sampler. However, I won’t be adding the written directions on the Row by Row sampler page until the end of the year. It is optional at this point. You may decide that you do not want your rows sewn in the order that they have been given. It…
March 2024 – Row by Row Sampler This month, we are creating a flower block for the Row by Row Sampler. There are so many options for this block of the month! I chose to present it this month because I need that hint of spring. Winter in the North East seems to go on forever, although this year, it has been mild for us. However, I usually enjoy more time in the sewing room…
Scrap Quilts – Creating from your Stash When I started quilting, I couldn’t imagine having a stash big enough to create a random scrap quilt, let alone multiple scrap quilts. Fast-forward almost 30 years, and I have enough scraps for multiple scrap quilts. Little by little, I bought fabric that “spoke” to me without knowing what I wanted to use it for. I also bought more than what I needed for a specific pattern. My…
Migration: A Free Scrap Quilt Pattern with Flying Geese This Free Scrap Quilt Pattern is finally finished. The idea of creating a quilt with Flying Geese had been bopping around in my head for quite a while. The design has changed several times, but it is finally complete. It is a few days late for the start of February, but life gets in the way sometimes. My husband calls the pattern “Camping in the Fall.”…
February 2024 – Pinwheel Row by Row Sampler February’s Row by Row Sampler block is the Pinwheel. This block of the month will focus on Half Square Triangles (HST) and squaring them to the correct size. This block could create a beautiful scrap quilt, but I am not sure I would want to make that many HSTs. The pdf directions for this block can be found here; scroll down to the February link. Fabrics for…
Flying Geese Scrap Quilt – Free Quilt Pattern Last week put me behind, but I think I can still get the scrap quilt pattern completed for you for February. This free quilt pattern doesn’t have a name yet. I have been thinking about it, and I hope to have one by the time I am ready to post it. Sometimes, I have to step back and look at it with an objective eye, which can…
Sewing Saturday – Flying Geese Scrap Quilt Since it is a cold and slightly snowy Saturday here, my sewing room is calling. The Scrappy Flying Geese Quilt pattern is the focus for today. February’s scrap quilt hopefully will be all set for you at the beginning of the month. Sewing the quilt goes much faster than creating the directions. You have some choices to make with this scrap quilt pattern. You can go all scrappy…
February’s Scrap Quilt – Flying Geese This quilt design has been rattling around in my head for a while. This past weekend, I finally pulled out my pen and paper and started playing with the design. I thought I had the design all set until I put it into the software. NOPE, so back to the drawing board. Flying Geese, at first glance, isn’t very exciting, not until you play with the layout and placement.…
Sewing Saturday – One of my favorite days! It is nice when we have a productive morning, and the errands are all taken care of! We had hit a deer a few weeks back, and I finally have my truck back. It is nice to have that part of life back to normal. Next, I finished the bookkeeping for the businesses. Now, I have the rest of the day to do something just for me.…
