The quilt in the following pictures is the one I made for my nephew Jackson, he was born in February [...] I love my design wall. My dad built mine, and although I can’t tell you exactly step by step how he made it, I can tell you the materials we used and the basics of the construction. I began by searching online for automotive headliner – thanks to watching an episode of Quilt [...] I love using spray starch to prepare my fabric for patchwork because of the body and crispness it gives the fabric.

Literally, I finished the binding (by machine), soaked the quilt in cold water to remove the marking lines, ran it through the washer’s spin cycle to remove the [...] Progress on Lovebirds (Circle gets the Square): I finished piecing the entire top last night. I had to stay up until 12:30 am to do it, but sometimes you just can’t quit when you’re on a roll! I used a variety of fabrics that contained red, black and white. Funny, I liked the boldness [...] Here’s the story about the quilt that I finished but can’t take credit for: It was May and I was finishing the Boy with a Coin quilt for a customer.

I like it, but I don’t know if I love it. I’m leaving what I have on the design wall now so I can look at it with fresh eyes later. I’m using a fall palette… out of step with the [...] |
