WIP Wednesday: Whatnots Club Midnight Wall Hanging

-

 

I made this small wall-hanging top from Kim Diehl's Tenth Simple Whatnots Club.  It only measures 21" square and I finished it in 2 days.

I purchased the stand-alone kit last year from the Fat Quarter Shop ... and somehow I ended up signing up for the eleventh annual Simple Whatnots Club.  There are eight kits and I received my last one in August.  So far I have completed zero.  I'm not sure I'll ever finish all of them.  I may pull the fabric and add it to my stash for another project.  I may even gift a couple to my quilting friend.  

The backing and binding were included in the kit so I'll be able to finish it quickly.

I'm happy to join these linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing. 

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

    I love Kim Diehl too! Her Whatnots are so fun. So sorry to hear you signed up but don't want to complete any more, but I love your idea of pulling the fabric for projects you do want to do! That's the way to turn a potential wip into a fun project! Great idea to gift a few too. I'm starting to feel that vibe too--use it up or move it out. Thanks so much for sharing on my 300th Wednesday Wait Loss.

    I love your KD quilt, Rita! My LQS runs a KD club and most of them have a million tiny pieces, but this one doesn't look like quite that many. Which is better in my book!

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-
Image
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
