While making this quilt I had the urge to change up this design and give it a make-over. Which I did, but I couldn't show that one until this one was quilted, bound and washed! That's jus the way I work! COLOR EXPLOSION 51" x 62" Many of you know that I make this quilt often, either in a lap size or baby quilt. And you might know that I have a suitcase full of HSTs to pull from. It's so much easier to have the HSTs at the ready where I can pull from when the mood strikes me! I also love to…

I set a goal last year of working with a new quilt color palette, and while I mentioned this goal briefly in my 2022 recap, I also wanted to dive a little deeper into how I pick a quilt color palette, including adding or subtracting a color from an already established palette. First of all, I don’t know why I thought I needed to branch out to try new colors. I made this very bright and very interesting color combination Sensation Quilt several years ago, so clearly, I have already stepped…

There are certain designs that will never bore me, this design is one of them! Not just the design, but the explosion of color never disappoints. I added a border to the outside of this one in a medium gray, have it pinned and hopefully today will be quilting time! HST blocks are pretty simple and basic, but there are so many options when it comes to layouts. Granted this quilt is the kitchen sink of colors, but even when using a limited color scheme it can be quite dynamic! Once or twice a…

Welcome to finish it up Friday! I finished my quilt! This one took me on quite a journey. It feels so personal and like such a milestone for reasons I can't express. I will say, however, that I am absolutely pleased with how it turned out. I think the amount of photos to follow prove that. :) The top is made up of 100% scraps. Mainly Kona cottons, but several other brands make an appearance including a few shot cottons and a few Oakshott scraps. Spiral quilting was done in a light gray…

The longer I am a quilter, and it's only been about 4 1/2 years, the more I understand my way of choosing a quilt to make and that other people don't do that the same way as I do. Up to this point I have chosen a quilt by seeing something already done and deciding I would like to make that. I don't choose kits…

I spent a solid two weeks this spring hand-stitching a zillion little yo-yos using RJR's Cotton Supreme Solids. They were each like little gems, perfectly round and fluffy and dazzling saturated in color. Problem was, when I went to put them together for the What Shade Are You blog hop RJR has organized, I was

Solid color quilts are often associated with a modern aesthetic, but (and maybe this is the age old question) do solids make a modern quilt, or are modern quilts often just made with solid fabric?

This project was just an experiment to see how this idea would pan out. With all the books I've read on Color Theory, I was thinking a l...

A three color quilt is the simplest quilt that can use a light, medium, and dark as well as other triads of contrast. Three color quilts also lend themselves well to incorporating team colors which is fun for gift and theme quilts. (This post contains affiliate links)
