Dog mom, quilter, pro-democracy. I've been known to camouflage errors with pigma pens. Embrace the wabi sabi! I'm here for the quilts. Please don't be offended if I don't follow back.

A quilt top draped over a couch. The pattern is free from Tilda's World and is called Striped Fish. 28 fish swimming in rows alternating between 3 fish and 2. Each fish has a striped body with an orange tail and lips. The background fabric is Moda grunge blue - a mineral blue. Fish stripes are the Tilda Cotton Beach collection. Alternate stripes are pale gray and silver metalic Klimt fabric.

Only 21 applique eyes to go before I can start quilting it.

I am the lazy quilter! I'd just turn it inside out and iron interfacing to the cone. 🀣 Other options that I can think of are corset stays or stuffing it with polyfil.

I'm working on this Tilda striped fish quilt. I might name mine "One Fish, Two Fish, 28 Fish, Fck!

Might iron on interfacing do the trick?

Hey #QuiltSky ! I shared a video a while ago (quote posted below) about McTavishing. Earlier this week a quilting friend mentioned that Karen is having some medical issues. Thought I'd pass this link along for anyone interested in helping her out.

Hey #quiltsky! I've been taking a break from quilting (a slump) and it's time to get back to it. I'm preparing to sew the borders on my tumbling blocks quilt. Thought I'd share this Jinny Beyer video on how to make mirror image mitered borders.

Both are beautiful! I'd favor without because I'm lazy and wouldn't want the extra work. πŸ˜‚

My quilting bff and I often mention the quilt worthiness of recipients. Even quick quilts take dozens of hours and cost quite a bit. From curating the fabric to hand sewing the binding, it's a labor of love. It's wonderful to see someone so quilt worthy receiving such beautiful handmade items!!

I'm using the cheater method. The top diamond is split so there's no Y seam sewing.

Hey #Quiltsky ! I'm working on a giant tumbling blocks quilt. I love the border print (Jinny Beyer) and I'm thinking the gold blocks really distract from it. What are your thoughts? Apologies for the dark photos. My basement isn't well lit.

Do it! Perhaps tell the inspector that your other car is a horse and ask how s/he plans to test the emissions! πŸ˜‚

A queen sized sawtooth star quilt is spread out on a sewing table. The stars are various teal and blue fabrics from Laundry Basket Quilts collections. The background is a light cream color - Essence from Moda Grunge.

Quilting is in progress. The negative space is finished and round 1 of borders is done. I still have to figure out what I want to do with the stars and the rest of the borders. #quiltsky

The blocks for a queen sized quilt on a design wall. The inner blocks are sawtooth stars and the border blocks are flying geese pointing toward 2" squares. The foreground fabrics are grayed out teals and blues from various Laundry Basket Quilts collections. The background fabric is Moda Grunge Essence - a pale ivory linen with hints of green and blue.

And now to sew all the blocks together, make a quilt back, cut a binding, quilt and bind it. The border was inspired by a Robin Pickens blog for Moda Blockheads located here -> www.robinpickens.com/blog/borders...
