Happy Trails!

My Scrappy Project Planner

has some wonderful quilt patterns

in it!

I got to play along with the

Fat Quarter Shop today because

 they are having a Sew Along 

featuring the quilts in the Project Planner

by Lori Holt!

Do you have one yet?

Making a quilt from the planner is a bonus

to the other features of the project planner!

Today FQS is featuring the Happy Trails Scrappy Quilt!

Here is mine:

It's made from completely from my stash...

mostly using Pam Kitty Morning fabrics!

I had so much fun seeing this come together...

I'm not sure I want to stop!

I am seriously considering going king-size!

(and that should be about the end of my PKM stash)!

This one is Lori Holt's quilt that

 is pictured in the Scrappy Project Planner.

Lori is the Queen Bee of cleverness!

I truly enjoy making up quilts from her patterns...

I just to decide which one is next!

Be sure you see the Happy Trails quilt 

over at Jolly Jabber and see the other Happy Trails quilts! 

Happy Trails to you!

Art Gallery Fabric's Stitched Sew Along

Happy Monday!

I always love these Art Gallery Fabric Sew Alongs 

with the Fat Quarter Shop!

It's a wonderful to take a free pattern from

Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop!

Have you explored any of these sew alongs in 

the past?

Every time I play along, I am always pleasantly 

pleased with the feel of AGF's fabric. 

They are so soft and silky but sturdy with no fraying!

This is the group of fabric I used.

Lagom...

it's a Swedish word that means 

just the right amount!

You can see the tutorial for Filigree here:

The link for the free Filigree Pattern is here.

It's simple to construct ...

even though it looks a little complicated.

I like to pre-starch my fabrics for easier 

construction and it's really helpful with bias edges too!

I just love the way it turned out!

I wanted more of a neutral palate with 

a small pop of color to add the pizazz.

I was absolutely in love with the large print that I had chosen

for my backing fabric.

So, I omitted the blocks around the center square

to showcase the fabric and I think it 

also showcased the block design.

I think you will have fun with the Filigree pattern

and here is the link to Art Gallery Fabrics

if you want to see some fun eye candy!

Now...

I need to go see what everyone else is making using

the Filigree Pattern!

Midweek Mosaic: Hang It Up

We are only a few weeks away from Daylight Savings Time...

and Spring is just around the corner from there!

I will look forward to hanging things out to dry again.

All photos are from my Pinterest board here.

Plates and Sweetie Pies

Right now I can't even find the pattern for this project...

but I think I can figure the setting out.

I just need to sew those circles on and

that should get me to the assembly stage!

It looks like Sunday was dedicated to working on old abandoned projects.

It feels good to get them out and try to get them finished... 

I have procrastinated for soooo long!

Here is another Dresden style project that has been neglected!

This was the main motivation...

I have been watching the Sweetie Pie Sew Along 

with Lori Holt on 

Instagram... and this one was a pattern of 

hers that I started, and stopped, 

and restarted... and then stopped. 

I needed more Sew Cherry fabric 

but the line had been here and gone for quite a while...

but now... this fabric line has been remade, so no excuses for

trying to get this finished!

The pattern had plain centers and cherry applique but I 

saw it was a great opportunity to use the floral fabric and skip

the applique. 

I will be making little daisy flowers to place in the sashing area..

Here is a photo of the free pattern!

Classic & Vintage Jacobs Ladder Quilt Along!

I have been enjoying some special sewing time!

I was able to join up 

with something new from

Fat Quarter Shop

On their You Tube channel today

 you will see

a brand new video 

a

Jacobs Ladder 

Quilt Along.

The newest in their 

Classic and Vintage 

quilt series.

This Jacobs Ladder

is a free pattern

 and Kim has, as usual, 

a great step by step video 

to show you her Jacobs Ladder!

You can find a kit available by clicking here.

There are several bloggers

showing their version of the quilt...

so grab a cup of coffee and get ready for some

eye candy around blog-land!

This was so fun... I have never made a Jacobs Ladder quilt

before!

This traditional quilt has been on my to do list for 

a long time.

I went to my Fig Tree Stash and pulled a small variety of

fabrics... and began cutting!

(I did a little sneak peek of these a couple weeks ago)

The blocks are large and come together

easily!

Did I mention... that

you can get the free pattern 

right here at FQS!

Each block seemed to have it's own little personality!

I have been savoring these leftovers...

and now I don't mind using them because Fig Tree & Co 

is just coming out with a new line with some of these same 

colors called Coney Island!

I am really happy with way this quilt came together...

but I have one last decision...

I thought I was happy without a border.

The pattern and in the video you will see

directions for adding an inner and outer border

to your Jacobs Ladder quilt.

I guess you and I will both see... 

next time!

But in the meantime... check out the other bloggers 

showing their version of Jacobs Ladder...
