No Scraps Left Behind with this Quilting Technique!

Hi Reader, Do you ever find yourself with a stack of beautiful layer cakes, but not sure what to do with them? My new Baby Blocks Quilt Pattern (40% Discount) solved my dilemma of reducing my fabric pile! While I don't generally purchase Layer Cakes using 10" squares for quilting is an easy and very fast way to make a simple quilt. This quilt also has the diversity of of changing up your squares for different looks. Take a look and see what you think. Patterns that don't have matching seams or waste fabric are definitely my preference. Do you use layer cakes very often? They seem to be quite popular and I've been using them more recently. If you prefer to cut your own 10" squares from your fat quarter, be sure to download my free precut cutting chart. It shows you how to cut multiple precuts from you own fabrics. This is usually how I 'make' my own precuts using fat quarters. While the quilt top shown in this video is finished, today I need to get it quilted. Here's a video of how I've quilted this pattern before. It's a simple straight-line quilting pattern that shows off the blocks very well. Let me know what you think. With that, I'm getting ready for the grandkids to spend the night. Then we'll all get together for Mother's Day for a fun Taco/Fajita Bar luncheon! A particular favorite with the kids as they can choose the toppings they want and leave the rest for those of use who prefer a bit of everything. ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ Have a wonderful Mother's Day! Celebrate with your mothers and kids! Have a blessed weekend and enjoy some great family time. Don't Miss THIS MONTH'S Fat Quarter Shop Specials!

Hi Reader, My Potato Chip Panel Quilt is finally finished and I think you'll love it! This video brings all the steps together. You'll see how the panels are assembled around the large center floral wreath. There were a few tricks needed to get it all to fit evenly. These 'modifications' only improved the final layout resulting in a wonderful finished quilt top! There is one last step before I can get this one quilted. I have enough fabric for a border on just one side. The border will be on...
Hi Reader, This panel potato chip quilt is looking fabulous and I'm so close to being finished. Have you ever had a quilt just about finished only to find a mistake that HAD to be fixed? I have a couple from a few years ago that are still sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get the mistakes corrected. But for this faux-pas (a really big mistake!) I was determined to make the block usable! This video is a step-by-step tutorial for fixing a common mistake we all probably encounter at some...
Hi Reader, Ready for a super simple baby quilt? Today's quilt is a remake of of a pattern from a couple years ago which has been quite popular. My new quilt has lots more color and is made a bit larger. While the Kaffe Fassett fabrics look awesome, the Ombres make all the difference! It's a fun combination for this quilt. My favorite aspect about this pattern is how different these quilts turned out. Yes, they are both made with wide strips, but color certainly changes the look! Now I'm...
