Jen Daly Quilts: 2021

My Lincoln quilt is on the road to the quilters! The pattern came from Barbara Brackman and so did some of the fabric. Please read about the quilt on her blog here. It has only been a little over a year since I won the pattern and fabric so I am right on my normal schedule! I opted to make my blocks 8" instead of 12, so I made a few more. My finished quilt size is approx 64x 72. I had some of this awesome Lincoln fabric from my friend Jill and couldn't think of a more appropriate quilt to…

Homespun Rag Quilt; I do like this one! what is the pattern name?

ZJ explains that a homespun fabric is a lightweight woven fabric made using traditional weaving and dyeing techniques. Because of how the fabric is woven, homespun comes in limited colors and no prints. ZJ shows that the fabric color options are limited to solids, stripes and plaids. She shows examples of each and even explains the difference in some of the plaid repeats and how they need to be used if you are planning to match repeats in a given design or quilt pattern using homespun…

New veterans quilts quilted for Country School Quilters at Colorways By Vicki Welsh

This is Debbie’s Turning Twenty quilt and it is made from all plaid flannel fabrics. She made if for her husband and was intended to be birthday gift two years ago, well we all know how that goes! So she is hoping to give it to him as surprise for his birthday next month or give it to him sooner as they just purchases a cottage. I think this would make a great cuddle quilt for their new cottage! I used Dream Puff batting and brown So Fine thread on top and golden Bottom Line on the back. The…

There's been no sewing. My shoulder/arm are not getting better. More Dr appointments will be needed. But I WANT to sew! Earlier this week I was cheered up by two boxes of donated fabric from Judy B-- The big box was HEAVY! Here is a pic of the contents-- Judy sent me yardage on the right, and her stash of homespuns. She even included BLADES! Homespuns are not something I buy but they make the most beautiful comfortable cuddly quilts--perfect for boy quilts! How much did she send? 27 pounds…

Flannel Sawtooth Stars is from a pattern in Fons and Porter’s Fat Quarter Friendly. I really liked the zigzag border, and I have had most of the flannels/plaids in my stash since Piecemakers days. I feel that flannels, being so soft, are better suited to relatively simple piecing; the sawtooth star can be made with stitch and flip corners, so that reduces the risk of stretching the bias edges of the fabric. Having pieced the top in April, I finally got around to quilting it last week: I…
