I thought it would be fun to document this, a plan for the things I’ll work on in September. One, it is just fun to record the before and after a quilt and two, it is good accountability. The process of making a quilt is where the fun lies in, and instead of just posting a finished quilt, each steps along the way is worth documenting. 

Fall Quilt : The Fall Hashtag # quilt

September is the start of Fall, and while I live in a country with no seasonal change, my quilting life does. I spend time browsing the social media and getting inspired by all the seasonal change. Hence, I thought it would be great to pick up an old UFO and get it moving to the finish line. This is my sister’s UFO and I picked it up a couple of years ago with the intention of finishing it. However, I was so stuck with what to pick for the sashing. The background fabric she used for the block is a cool white colour which in my eye were not a match but we work with what we have and we move on. 

So, I tried putting the blocks against a solid brick red colour but wasn’t loving it,

Then, I put it against one of the off white solid and thought it was better even though the white did not match the background in the blocks. The blocks still shines through and decided that I am going to with the off-white solid as the sashings. There were 30 blocks, so I’m going to be making 6 rows of 5 blocks and call it done. 

There were some leftover strips, and I may just piece this altogether into a small table runner. 

Now the project lives in the awesome large Gingham project bag! I love how big this bag is and it can fit a lot in. Perfect for this 9″ blocks to lay flat too.

Grandmother’s Flower Garden 

I want to stitch up two more diamonds for the grandmothers flower garden in September. So let’s hope that happens. 

#Stashtember : Spangled Quilt 

Challenging myself to use up the stash I already have by shopping in my stash for the new scrappy quilt, Spangled by Kim Diehl. I was inspired to start this quilt as I mentioned in this flosstube episode. I love the quilt on the cover of this pattern, and as much as I want to get a new bundle of the reproduction fabric, I decided not to and use my stash instead.

So here’s my fabric pull!

I want to cut all the pieces this September to get started. The colours were inspired by the cover quilt, but my fabric were more of the modern colours since those were already in my stash. 

Designer Mystery Quilt

I received my finishing kit for the designer mystery and it is gorgeous! The box itself is beautiful. This is my first year joining the block of the month series and loving it already. I want to at least start this quilt this month. For now, we’ve received 3 blocks and I am going to have catch up. 

Finish Free Motion Quilting Sweet Home Quilt

This is already in the machine and will be the first for me to work on while at the machine. I talked about this recently in this post HERE> if you want to know how I’m quilting it. 

Well, that’s plenty for September’s plan. Let’s hope I will get to them or at least some of them. We can all plan, but God is the planner of all. So let go and let it flow!

Till next time, Happy fall and Happy Quilting!

Finally, the giant flimsy is done! This is a free quilt along by Fat Quarter Shop. All the free patterns for the 24 blocks are out together with the layout instruction. There are several layout available, and I have chosen the largest layout – 99.5″ square

You can find all about Sewcialites 2, a free sampler quilt along 2023 HERE>.

There are free video tutorials, so if you are a beginner, be sure to pick up all the tips Kimberly has for you as she sews the blocks in the videos. I love picking up various tips from different quilters as they teach me to become a better quilter.

While there’s no hard and fast rule in quilting, there are definitely some time-saving tips and piecing tricks that just make things easier that we can pick up by watching other quilters sew. 

I learned so much from sewing along the last round for Sewcialites I,

This round I’m sewing mine using a fat quarter bundle by Tasha Noel called the Quilt Fair!

and today, it is officially a finished flimsy. 

You can read a little oopsy I had getting this giant together below…

I am still working along with the QAL using the Summer Memories Book by Susan Ache.  Use Hashtag #summermemoriesqal to join along. The book is an eye-candy filled with great projects and is sure to inspire you to pick up some red and blue fabrics to get started. I knew I did! But what really caught my eye was the basket quilt.

I am a little behind, but that is okay, the point of the quilt along is to enjoy sewing along with others, and it’s always fun to see other people’s blocks popping in my feed on social media. Are you following along?

Summer memories quilt along is brought to you by Fat Quarter Shop and they are having a 20th Birthday Bash SALE, so come and check it out while it last.

Month 5: Block #5

As I mentioned in the previous blog post HERE, I am using a mix of Tula Pink and Anna Maria Horner I have in my stash. However, I did add in a bundle of Tula Pink Tiny Dots and Stripes recently to add in more varieties if the basics into the quilt.

I just love picking fabrics for this project. With so many fun features and artwork from both of these designers, it is such a joy to make these blocks!

This week kicks off the quilt along to celebrate the launch of Summer Memories Book by Susan Ache.  Use Hashtag #summermemoriesqal to join along. The book is an eye-candy filled with great projects and is sure to inspire you to pick up some red and blue fabrics to get started. I knew I did! But what really caught my eye was the basket quilt.

I wasn’t sure at first whether I was going to join in, but I have longed to make a basket quilt and I thought this would just be a good time to get that started. Quilt Alongs are fun and I always love the motivation and inspiration I get when others are making the same quilt. 

Another update on my version of this fun free sampler quilt along for 2023! We are close to the end. All the free pattern for the 24 blocks are out and we have just the final layout to do next week to finish off.

Making my first block for the Barn Star Sampler Quilt

I am finally going through my Anna Maria Horner’s stash and I have decided to mix it up with Tula Pink Tiny Dots and Stripes and the Tiny Beast Collection to have more varieties.

They’ll be the perfect bundle to make this fun star quilt with all those deep colours!

I love the colours of my Tula Pink 100 days 100 blocks Quilt HERE, and this would be another bright quilt for sure!

As I mentioned in the previous blogpost where I posted the list of the fun quilt along for 2023 HERE, I was only going to be using only Anna Maria Horner’s (AMH) Fabrics and some backgrounds.

However, as I picked my fabric for the first block, I know that I WAS NOT going to be brave mixing up all the florals bright motifs light how Anna always does with her quilts. 

I still fell like I needed the smaller prints to get a good balance.

And it was so hard to cut off those beautiful prints with large motifs!
