WOW! This quilt was made by Sue in the Friday class from the green swap we did in March. The pattern is called Nuclei and this version is fabulous. Look at the border fabric and how it has many shades of green. It is the perfect border for a swap quilt with lots of green […]
Yellow can be a difficult color to work with. It can take over the whole design but this quilt incorporates lots of yellow and is going to really shine!
I suppose it is the hubbub leading up to the commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of sinking of RMS Titanic that brought about this fun little quilt design.
This is just FUN! We had a roaring good time when we raced up to Ventura for our quilting retreat. I saw this antique quilt in a vignette at Roxanne’s Quilt Shop in Carpinteria and thought what a cute doll quilt it would make.
Here is a very traditional doll quilt. This quilt can be made in a variety of looks: Reproduction, scrappy or two color. And these instruction show you how to make it easily.
Here is the design for our class swap this week of 8″ light and dark green squares. Of course, if you live outside of the OC where our classes are held, Nuclei could be made of any collection of 50 light and dark (25 of each) squares or scraps larger than 8″.
We began 2012 with this easy Rail Fence Variation quilt that can be made easily and with a Jelly Roll or Bali Pop. The contrasting rail adds an extra design element and using the precut strips eliminates a lot of work. This is a perfect pattern for a novice quilter.
These Doll Quilts are really getting to me. I’m nearly done with my Time Flies Quilt and have started on the Arroyo 4-Patch (above) and I am hoping to whip a RockABye up soon!
We love to do Fabric Swaps in our NOCCCS-SCE-OAP classes. We choose a theme then a square size and a date. For these swaps in 2010 and 2011, we swapped 40 each 10″ squares. These patterns are all based on a fabric collection like that.
