So far this year we have started our Repeat Revolution Stack And Whack quilt and our Fanciful Floral FourSquare block of the week block of the Month. Now we are doing our first swap of the year: 2 1/2″ width of fabric GRAY strips. And the free pattern is called Gray Study.
So, continuing with theme of antique quilts and things spied this week in Cambria, CA…
Susie in my Wednesday class was asking if the Magic 9-Patch could be made as a Doll Quilt. After a short discussion, she went home and made this lovely little quilt. Starting with 2 1/2″ squares, Susie made 6 1/2″ 9-Patches. Then she cut the blocks into quarters, rotated two diagonally opposite pieces 180 degrees […]
I’m not sure if I’m a little ahead with this doll quilt or a little behind. By my count, this is our 11th doll quilt, but I may have missed one somewhere. Surely this Spools Quilt is both worth waiting for… And a little ahead of its time!
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…

Recently, I visited the Joan Irvine Museum here in Orange County, California to view their Women Artists of California exhibit (through June 7, 2012) which was just wonderful! As […]
This week we are swapping Purple 8″ squares in our NOCCCD classes. These swaps are always fun and the fabric variety wonderful. And each swap brings a new quilt design (or two!) AND all the swap quilt patterns work with all the 2012 swaps!
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!
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.
