Quilty Finish #1 and #2: Stack 'n' Whack & Stand for Ukraine Wall Hanging

-

My first two quilt finishes of 2023.

Quilters Stand for Ukraine Wall Hanging Quilt #315

Size: 24" square

Started 4/4/22 - Finished 3/17/23

I made this second wall hanging from the Quilters Stand for Ukraine pattern by Pat Sloan.  This is a single block, but the pattern also includes instructions to make a quilt. I have it displayed by my front door to show support for Ukraine.

I made one last year and posted about it here.

Stack 'n' Whack Wall Hanging Quilt #316

Size: 62" square

Started 4/18/22 - Finished 3/17/23

This first Stack 'n' Whack wall hanging has been a UFO since 2004, when I completed two similar wall hangings.  Apparently, I put the leftovers in a storage bag and put them on the back burner - way in the back LOL.  It had been going on 20 years, so I figured it was time to get 'er done!

There were 2 completed blocks in the bag, plus several loose "wedges".  I didn't make a third quilt back then because the "wedges" weren't accurate duplicates, and I ran out of fabric.  I decided I would complete it anyway since I was keeping it.  I think it looks pretty good in spite of the mismatched blocks.


I quilted it with an E2E quilting design by Creative Stitches called First Snowfall. I used red thread and love the results.


This is a picture of one of the two quilts I made in 2004.

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!

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...

Quilty Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars Quilt

Halloween No Point Stars Quilt #253  Size: 50" x 56" Started 9/18/20 - Finished 10/15/20 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 that is 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 fabri...
