Weekly Finish ... Or Not: Stash Buster Plus 2 More Quilt Tops

-

I've been busy finishing some quilt tops.  I should probably spend more time quilting the tops that are accumulating instead of making more LOL!  


This is my first quilt top for the 2022 Stash Buster Challenge by Border Creek Station using the Jericho Walls block.  The challenge is to make 52 blocks (1 block a week) by the end of the year to be entered into a drawing.

I started this top a couple weeks ago with the intention of just making the18 blocks to catch up.  A week later, I ended up with 32 blocks and this top.  It is a fast and easy block to make and so much fun!  I still need another 20 blocks if I want to qualify for the drawing.

This top was made from leftover Stack 'n' Whack blocks I made in 2004.  I made two wall hangings with this same fabric to give as gifts.  The black and red triangles were also leftover with the blocks.  Three of the 5 blocks don't match but I'm keeping this one so that's okay.  I also found the poinsettia border in my stash so this was a quick finish.

This is the Old Time Christmas Patchwork BOM from Shabby Fabrics which I posted about here.  I finished the final blocks last month, and finally finished the top when I received the finishing kit a couple weeks ago.  Another quick finish!

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 us...

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  actuall...

Weekly Finish #20 Bouillabaisse Quilt Top

My bouillabaisse quilt top is FINALLY finished!  I started it last year in September and posted about it here in January.  I’ve been working on it off and on, and this week I made a commitment to finish it.  It has twenty blocks and each block is 20-1/2 inches.  It measures 97 square inches, with a 6-1/2 inch border. This is the second bouillabaisse quilt I’ve made, but I had so many issues with it! It seems that no matter how many 1-3/4” strips I cut, it just wasn’t enough!  But the real dizzies were the points and bias edges … OMG, by the last few blocks, I couldn’t care less whether anything matched:  I just wanted to get ‘er done!  It’s shown on a queen-size bed, and it’s the second queen-size quilt top I’ve made. I’m not sure yet whether I will quilt it myself or send it out so, for now, it’s in my “To Be Quilted” pile!   Technically, I know it's not a "finished" quilt but it was quite a project to finish so I'm counting it as a wee...
