Hello! Thanks for stopping by Lyn Brown's Quilting Blog. I'm a quilting teacher who loves to share the world of quilting with others. This blog is for sharing free quilt patterns, ideas, instruction and inspiration. Take a look around and don't forget to leave comments and questions!
You have finished a beautiful quilt top like our Spring Medallion. Whether it is a artful expression in contemporary fabrics or a fabulous rendition of a traditional design, you need to make a back to move on to the quilting stage. And that back should hint at that glorious work on the front without detracting […]
OK, so Celtic starts with C not K… It does sound like it starts with a K! This is a simplified version of a very popular, traditional Celtic appliqué design… But with a Lyn Brown twist!
This just in from Travelin’ Julie who recently wheeled her way through the Southern States: “This shop is billed as the largest quilt shop in Georgia and I believe them. What a display of beautiful fabric of all kinds, even a good selection of Christmas fabrics. Plus anything and everything a quilter could want or […]
Wow! We are nearly done with the construction on this lovely quilt. Medallion quilts surely date from before their European popularity in the 1700s. In fact, this is one of the forms of quiltmaking the earliest settlers brought with them to America.
Here is our K block. We are really moving through these blocks. If you are not caught up, don’t get left behind. These are really fun blocks and the quilt is going to a wonderful reflection of the quiltmaking world today!
This is just a fast and fun little pattern for charm (5″) squares. I was cutting some Hawaiian fabric and started thinking about the old Gidget movies… And that rickety beach shack. It represented those long, lazy days of summer… And so I was inspired…
Have you made a doll quilt yet? They are so do-able! It is wonderful to actually finish something! And they make wonderful gifts, too. The holidays are right around the corner! This Basket quilt is easy and delightful, a little modern and a bit old fashioned too.
Sorry for the delay in presenting this. We are getting close to the finish. After this, there is is the final whole cloth border, then quilting and binding with a flat flange. I will also be discussing labels and sleeves before we wrap this project up and move onto our Summer MYSTERY!
Here is the next installment in our Quilter’s Alphabet Series… The Jumping Jelly Roll! Much easier than it looks, the block represents that wonderful moment when you slip the ribbon from your “Jelly Roll*” of fabric to show all the wonderful prints revealed within…
Wishing everyone a lovely day. Looks like it’s going to be gorgeous here in North Orange County. Looking forward to seeing all my class members this week (I’m feeling better). We are gonna do something a little different this week and we will return to the Spring Medallion next week…
