Geometric Death Star : A Finished Mini Quilt

Image
By

my first finish of 2017!

so after i made my Geometric Death Star Pillow Cover as a Christmas gift, i knew i was going to want my very own mini quilt. well with the holidays i didn't finish my until now. and this is the perfect start for my t.v and film mini quilt gallery in our family room.

i really do love how fast this block comes together. i had this top put together in just a few hours, while the girls were in quiet/nap time.


plus this is just perfect to use up scraps. this block was a nice change of pace after piecing 44 Checkered block for my new bed quilt.


for the quilting i decided to have a little fun with straight line quilting. i mixed 30, 45, and 90 degree lines and love the look.

now it's time to start on my Millennium Falcon mini quilt and decide on what to make for my gallery wall.

Quilt Stats
Pattern: Geometric Death Star by Quiet Play
Dimensions: roughly 16 inches square
Quilting: Straight line quilting
Fabrics: gray & black scraps, with a low volume background.

    A wall of TV and movie inspired quilts? How genius! I have got to see the finished quilts on display. In the meantime, this is a perfect start!

Mini Modern Maples Cushion Cover | Scrap Project 6

By
Ahh, I just love fall! Hands down my favorite season, especially in the UP. There are a few leaves starting to change color and I'm so excited. I'm looking forward to a color tour in a few weeks and really hope I have a few quilts done so I can take some quilt in the wild photos. So with fall rolling in, I figured I would make a fun little fall inspired cushion cover. And since I've been on small scale sewing kick, I thought a mini modern maple cover was just what I needed for my living room. Plus, lets face it this was just a perfect reason to dig through the scrap bins and use up those small little scraps. My mini maple block finishes at 3 inches and when added to a mini 9 patch block it makes for a lovely scrappy cushion cover. For the quilting a did a orange peel design and while a little wonky, I love it! Lately I've been at a lose as to what I want to quilt on my quilts, so this was a nice change. I quilted this cover on my Janome HD9. This bab

Geometric Captain America Shield : Free Pattern

By
so a couple of months ago, i signed up for the MARVELous Craft Swap through Instagram hosted by  @justjoshinkids . what i love about swaps is the chance to try something new. for this swap i wanted to try and design a paper pieced pattern based on Captain America's Shield. and taking my inspiration from @quietplay i made the pattern geometric, so i could make the shield more scrappy in nature. i used the free quilt design program called QuiltAssistant to design my pattern. after figuring out what the heck i was doing, i finally landed on a pattern that worked. with a few minor tweaks here and there, i am happy how it turned out. the pattern finishes at 13 inches square, but i slightly oversized it, so i could trim the edges down to 12.5 inches, to finish at 12 inches. I loved designing this pattern and have a few more in the works that I hope to release as well. You can find this pattern on Payhip . This pattern is for personal, not for profit use only. If you do

2017 New Quilt Blogger Blog Hop

By
for the last several weeks i have been participating in the 2017 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop, hosted by Yvonne ( Quilting Jet Girl ), Beth ( Cooking Up Quilts ), and Leanne ( She Can Quilt ). while i have been blogging for a little while, this blog hop has been great to hone my blogging skills and meet other quilt bloggers. i have been crafty most of my life, i even learned to sew when i was younger. but it didn't really stick. after college i was living in Iowa and on a whim i bought a cheap sewing machine and began a back and forth with sewing. fast forward a few years, i got married and pulled that sewing machine out again and this time actually made a quilt top (that sat for at least 3 years before i quilted it). sewing again was pushed to the side as i was finishing my master's program and job hunting.  well after landing a job, moving, looking for a house. we found out we were expecting. though it was not to be and i miscarried in march 2011. during the next ye
