a close up of a quilt with many different designs on it, including squares and flowers

Last Fall, you may remember, I participated in the South Carolina MQG Mini Quilt Swap. My swap partner requested purples, greens and navy. One of her favorite fabric designers was Jessica Swift. I really didn't have a lot of purple in my stash and I wasn't familiar with fabric designer, Jessica Swift. So I decided to purchase Jessica's latest line of fabric to make my partner's quilt. Once the fabrics arrived and I started sewing with them, I completely fell in love with the fabrics and…

Yay a quilt reveal! This is my economyblock quilt. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.... ..more details below. I began making this quilt to join in with the whole economyblock along, having failed to join in with the trip around the world quilt along. I thought it would be a good way to eat up my scraps, so this quilt give or take a few sweet fabrics is entirely made from old fabrics or remnants. I really wasn't too fussed on fabric selections, I just made sure I chose ones…

a quilt is laying on the floor

Hello! It's been a while since my last blog post and I have so much to tell you! Life has been full and busy but I've managed to fit in some creative time. I started three quilts a few weeks ago and as they are all in the process of being gifted I will start sharing these with you. I've been wanting to make an economy block quilt for some time. As this quilt is for my little grandson I wanted the focus block to be large enough to get his attention. Using this table by The Littlest Thistle…

the quilts are all different colors and patterns on the table top, but one is blue

A few years ago I made over 300 three inch Economy Blocks from scraps as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. Now I'm making several different quilts using those Economy Blocks. For this quilt I used mostly the floral Economy Blocks and I'm using more scraps to turn them into Stars. RSC ScrapHappy Saturday

So there are definitely benefits of being on “blog hiatus” for a few months……I have tons of projects that I’ve been working on that I haven’t told you about yet! I got completely caught up in the Economy Block Along craze that took over Instagram back in JENuary. Did you see it? Did you get pulled into the vortex too? I planned on making a mini-quilt but I became so obsessed with fussy cutting center squares and picking the perfect fabrics for the outer squares that it seemed to grow…
