• Hexy cubes

  
  — Authority:
  In case you need one more reason to paper piece hexagons, here is a new one. Try some hexy cubes. You could use this design.... or this one. The quilt should be a wallhanging,  it has to hang on the wall so that you could see the 3D effect. You can make how many cubes you want. A quick project needs only ...

• Having Fun Trying To Meet Deadlines

  
  This Year's Dozen — Authority: 104
  Deadlines.. I guess I have sign-up-itis. I have so many “make it, finish it” deadlines coming up in the next few weeks, that I had to make a list. In my quilt group there are two. Block Lotto, Win The Pot . This month’s blocks were easy. Spool blocks. I already made hundreds of the scrap blocks you start off ...

  Quilts....etc. — Authority: 112

• THINGS THURSDAY

  
  — Authority:
  Something high on my wishlist at the moment is an Indian block printed quilt, like the one I bought from Soma when I was there a few years ago. My bedroom is a total blank canvas at the moment, waiting for its first splash of pattern and colour. One of these would be just perfect… Or how about one of ...

• How to Make an American Foreclosure Quilt

  
  EcoSalon — Authority: 570
  Patchwork as complex as Americana.  A quilt is never just a quilt . It’s like Winona said in How to Make an American Quilt : “Young lovers seek perfection. Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of patches.” In the mid-1990s, the United States economy was ...

  We found some ridiculously cheap but very sweet spotty stripes yesterday and bought half a metre of each colour they had.  Almost a lovely rainbow – just missing the yellow.  The intent for this fabric was a summery quilt – Chinese Coin style with almost white sashing, and a very sweet fox fabric Abby picked for ...

• Reading list and what-not

  
  — Authority:
  One of my sisters sent me a reading list for fans of Downton Abbey. Almost all of the books were nonfiction. Now I do like to read nonfiction but I think there are a lot of novels out there that can do an equally good job representing the time period. For mysteries I like Anne Perry and Robin Paige.
