Last night, Mr. Q.O. named the quilt I’m making with the 4.5″ Winding Ways blocks. At first I wasn’t too sure about it, but decided I do like it — so it’s now named Harlequin Pastel. I made three more … Continue reading

Pastel Winding Ways
Last night another PIB came out to play – the 4.5 Winding Ways blocks in hand-dyed fabrics. I can tell that the block placement is going to take almost as long as stitching the blocks. They are such fun to … Continue reading
Pink and Green Stars

When I was printing the 1″ Inklingo 90-degree hexagons on fabrics for my Patchwork of the Crosses blocks, I printed more than I needed. That’s something I tend to do on purpose, as sometimes I get an idea and just want … Continue reading
Two More Monet Blocks
This one is definitely for the Monet NYB group of blocks. I love the little touch of pink in this block. When I grade the seams on blocks that contain metallics and batiks, I tend to grade the metallic fabric … Continue reading
