Weekly Finish...Or Not: A Very Coriander Christmas

-

 
Finally finished my BOM A Very Coriander Christmas quilt started last October.  I love it!!  I hope I can finish it by Christmas.


It looks complicated but the blocks measure 18.5" so the pieces are not too small.  It also helps that the instructions were clear, although I would say this is not a beginner quilt.  I consider myself an intermediate quilter but I mostly like to make quick and easy quilts. This top was by far one of the more intricate designs I've made -- next to Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts.  

Next in line is another BOM Christmas quilt which is a 7-month project.  I should be receiving the first package any day soon.  And I am looking forward to Bonnie's 2021 mystery quilt which should be coming out over the next few weeks. And I'm still working on my Y2K quilt -- I hope you all don't get tired of reading about it but blogging helps keep me focused as well as my quilting goals.  There are way too many squirrels floating around that want to distract me!

Until next time ... 
Be happy and keep on quilting!

    I haven't seen your blog before, but when I saw the Coriander Christmas I had to respond. I spent a bunch of time today pulling fabrics and making notes to start my version! I'm using a 2020 collection called Juniper by Kate & Birdie and I can't wait! This will be a year-long project. Like you, I am an intermediate quilter looking for a little challenge. Here we go!

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) squ

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actually a curtain made

Weekly Finish #1: Free To Be Wild Horse Panel

  Free To Be Wild Finished Size: 67" x 72" I saw this quilt on social media a couple of years ago promoting Riley Blake's Back In The Saddle Collection.  I was immediately captivated and knew I wanted to make it for my daughter. Sadly, this was an older collection, and this particular panel with the black horse was nowhere to be found. However, I found this panel with the running wild horses from the same collection and knew my daughter would love it. In December, I decided to make this quilt for my daughter's birthday this month.  I searched social media for a pattern and found a tutorial for this quilt by Quiltscapes . Luckily, I found the pillow panels from the same collection for the quilt's four corners.  Sewing the top was fast and easy -- just add strips for borders and done. I quilted it with an E2E design from My Creative Stitches and used Warm & Natural for batting. My daughter's birthday is next week.  But she came for a quick visit this past we
