Something about working on Group Quilts

Image
  My local quilt guild took on a group project last year. We wanted to show a T.O.M. = technique of the month, to members and then have them try it. Most of the techniques were improv based giving some the opportunity to try them with no fear. We chose a color and size scheme.  We used coral and cream and we were pretty free about the corals including shades of reds and violets. Same with the creams including some whites. Block options were 12.5, 6.5 squares or 12.5 x 6.5. The result of the blocks turned in at each monthly meeting was wonderful.   We were able to make this Medallion style quilt 84". 84", a row by row style quilt 84" x 90", a lap sized throw 48" x 60" and a wall hanging 24" x 24".  Fabric of said colors were donated to piece together the backing and use any leftover blocks that may be left.  This one was quilted by a former member Sonya Nelsen on her longarm. I love the texture it created in this busy quilt.  The row by row style ...

P.Q. 13. 6 is a flying geese challenge

Image
This weeks  Project Quilting Challenge  13.6 is Flying Geese.  T his is an easy block to incorporate into a challenge quilt. I am still trying to use my stash and patterns and rulers and oh.....flying geese temperature quilt sitting and waiting on the corner of my ironing board...Yes please.  You see I made myself a birthday month quilt top back in 2019. I had big plans of making a bigger quilt with my birthday month, my husbands and our wedding anniversary month.  Then I made my birthday month using a book by Carl Hentsch published by  C and T publishing   called New York Beauties and Flying Geese. It is foundation pieced on paper but....I don't like to do foundation pieced blocks on paper so I made freezer paper changes. Okay so that worked but it WAS work. I loved the look of the blocks but not doing them.  I think I made my block long enough ago to sort of forget how much I didn't really like doing it. Ha I still don't have mine quilted and I ...

In the bleak winter...P.Q. 13.1 All the colors

Image
Time for Project Quilting  13.1 first challenge of 2022 All the colors is the theme over at Persimon dreams website. I have been doing quite a few of these challenges since some of the first seasons. Sometimes you need a boost to get started on something.  This challenge was perfect to start because it is so cold and blah outside right now.  This quilt is 40" x 55"  fabric from stash, low volume backgrounds, solids, serpentine quilting The pattern I found in a quilt magazine I have been saving. Design is by Susan Ache and it is called "Postage Plus". I decided to start the challenge by picking a random magazine and making a random quilt that fit the challenge. I have so many books and magazines that are not getting used...as in made into quilts and I am saving them for that reason so ..why not?  I have been slow to get back to quilting so I thought to start small as in quilt size. I failed to realize that postage stamp blocks are usually tres small too.  Th...

Quickie Quilt thanks to Accuquilt

Image
and fellow lqg member  Steph .   Turning in circles approx. 38 x 48 stash fabric  walking foot and free motion Steph taught a quick HST class.  We were to let the hst's be random.  I think it fell together nicely.  I started with a FQ pack of 5 and added a few more from my stash. The Elizabeth Hartman butterfly fabric was perfect for the backing.  There were 3 offset groups of hst's that formed an hourglass square so I chose to feature those three with circle quilting. Two were done with walking foot and then I decided to try the free motion foot and just wing it. :) Large pebbles filled in the rest.  I really like how the colors worked together and a few more pieces got relegated to the smaller scrap bin.  This will go to Quilts for Kids charity.  Lastly I forgot to share my new favorite recipe. I decided to make a carrot cake for Easter. I found a recipe that is grain free, gl...
