Layered Cake Custard Quilt Along

Hello! It's been a while since I've been able to post on here. It's been busier than usual, but a good busy. Today I am sharing this beautiful quilt called Layered Cake Custard form the Fat Quarter Shop. This pattern is a part of Fat Quarter Shop's Shortcut Quilt series. This was super easy and quick to put together.

Double Nine Patch Quilt Along

Hello! Today I am participating in the Fat Quarter Shop's Double Nine Patch quilt along. This is a fairly simple pattern and quick to put together. I was working on this before the holidays but hit a snag. I ran out of the grey solid print and couldn't find any locally. Thank goodness the FQS also had a delay with their fabric shipments for their kits so I was able to order some more of the grey solid from them to get my quilt top done.

Double Nine Patch Quilt WIP

Just popping in to share a WIP double nine patch quilt that I've been plugging away at. This is one of my favorite color combinations. This is a large queen size quilt so I had to tackle it by doing assembly lining sewing step-by-step in order to get it done.

Playing Catch Up

School, family, and work has kept me so busy that I can't wait for the semester to end so I can put school behind and get busy on fun stuff. All the sewing deadlines crept up on me. These yellow fat quarters are for a double nine patch quilt I had planned on finishing this month. These come from a variety of Art Gallery Fabric collections.

New Project Sneak Peek

Happy Monday! I had so much work to finish today that I didn't think I have time to post a peek of a new project that will go live Friday, but I finished work before the kiddos got home so I am going to share a peek with you here. I have shared these on Instagram but thought I would post here also.

Cobblestone Quilt Blog Hop

Hello and Happy Friday! Today I am sharing the Fat Quarter Shop's Cobblestone quilt. This quilt has been my secret project for a while. I only shared little peaks of it here and on Instagram. This is a part of Fat Quarter Shop's Shortcut quilt series. I love that the pattern is so fast to cut and put together.

Clementine Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop

There's a new quilt along coming your way and the quilt is gorgeous! I am excited to announce that the Fat Quarter Shop's new quilt along will be this beautiful Clementine quilt benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude's mission is to save children by making their research and findings available to everyone. They also treat children at no cost to their families. 

Quilt Along Sneak Peek

I have been sharing sneak peeks on Instagram of my quilt along project I've been working on. I love all different types of fabrics but I have a weakness for 30's reproduction prints. Perhaps it was because I used these types of prints for my first quilt or maybe it was just that the colors and designs are pleasing to my eyes. 

Roundabout Quilt-Along

I am such a busy person at the moment but let's see if I can squeeze this Roundabout quilt-along in. I've got four projects going all at once so cross my fingers and hope this one will get done way before the night before like I did with Melissa's last quilt along.

Half Square Triangles Quilt

I have been trying to catch up on my Postcards From Sweden QAL since I had to throw away all the fabrics that I had already cut before. Anywho, I am all caught up. I squeezed in a bit of time here and there to sew the half square triangles together. This is going to be my scrappy half square triangles solids quilt. I am not following the pattern instructions so the blocks are just going to be randomly placed.

March OMG Goal Complete

My one monthly goal this month was to put the Aurifil blocks together to complete the quilt top. I was determined to complete my goal so I just stayed up and sewed away while the house is nice and quiet. It also helps that I don't have to worry about homework this week. Thank goodness for Spring Break.

A Little Detour

I posted about the Postcard from Sweden quilt along that I was going to participate in and was using the solid fabrics from my stash. I had it all cut out and had sewn half of the blocks then put it away because it was late.

Hands 2 Help Plus HST SAL

I had thought I posted this already but I didn't see the post live so I went to check and somewhere along the way all the content was gone and the post was in draft. That's what I get for rushing. In my defense I had homework deadlines to finish and a high schooler to pick up. Ok, this year I am going to join Sarah and make a quilt for charity. I had a quilt kit that I was going to use but in the process of "cleaning and organizing" I can't find it.

I am going to use these prints if that quilt kit doesn't show up. I bought these prints years ago when my children were little and along the way they received many quilts from me but not in these prints. I don't know what I was saving them for but they really need to be used up.

Precision Piecing

 When I was cutting out the solid squares for the Sweden QAL I had some tiny pieces of fabric leftover that I was going to throw away. I thought it would be fun to join QuiltShopGal and make some tiny blocks so I went and downloaded Hope's Quilt Designs' mini blocks to make. I love traditional blocks and have made quite a few regular size ones.
