The Quilt Ladies And Beth Ann Doing Together
Friendship Star Quilt Block
I’m going to link somethings here today, I have and use them all. I’ve taken coffee as a bit of a hobby. I read my post back and it turned into a bit of a commercial,
I don’t do these….but it’s COFFEE DAY ! ! AND I know of what I speak!
This is for cold brew coffee and I make it for an afternoon treat.
This coffee frother is wonderful, whipped or hot cream, I have used half and half, whole cream, coffee creams, but my favorite it, Almond milk, cinnamon and vanilla, first on the whipped/heated setting and then whip it with no heat. Perfect.
I use both a pot and a pod…A nightly decision for me. Yes, I plan my coffee!
This was a gift last Christmas and I LOVE it!
This is my third Keurig and the one I like the most

Maybe Old, But Perfect
It’s a very simple pattern, a 2 inch center square and then just log cabin around the outside with 1 inch strips. It’s the paisley fabrics that give it all the movement and fun !

I had done some blocks, some pillows and then I saw in the paper a class being hosted by the local quilt group. I remember it being expensive and how I agonized over it for days. but, finally signed up.

More it On Over – The Quilt Ladies
Cut enough strips to go around the outside edge of your
quilt. Sew all strips together with a 45-degree angle.
Sew and Trim to ¼ inch seam allowance
Open and Press and trim any ends. Do this
to make all binding needed.
Start sewing about 5-6 inches from your binding end, I mark with a pin on each corner
Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance. Stop ¼ from
the edge. Back stitch a few stitches.
Fold the binding back. Fold binding back down on to the Quilt. Match up edges. A diagonal fold will form between the
layers and a straight fold on top. Do corners one at a time
Do this on all four corners
Stop sewing about 4-5 inches from the first end. 
Pin well, fold over and match the ends
Press
Open up and mark your SEWING line 
On both sides
This is your SEWING line, Sew and trim seam.
Continue sewing the binding to the quilt. 
The right side of the quilt
You will need to trim your batting, I like to trim mine about an 1/8 of an inch from the binding edge
The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK
Fold the binding open
Pull it over the machine stitches. 
Pin and I like to hand stitch
Blind Stitch, I like to hide my knot in the inside.
Take a stitch straight across and then back into the binding just a few threads.
Make sure your thread matches and as below, I have about 6-8 stitches down in this photo
Stitch all the way into the fold.
Pull your needle out and fold other corner over, 
Sew the corners closed on BOTH sides. Back side here
Push needle through and stitch the front corner seam closed. 
Push needle through to the back and continue sewing around the quilt.
Finished corners.
Happiness in Seeing it
Do This With all Fabrics
I start by WASHING and DRYING all my fabrics as soon as I get them home. Color fabric with colors and whites/background together in cold water. I am in Florida and our water on cold is like a medium temp water in the Midwest. NOTE: Red and White Quilt Pattern Coming Soon to The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop.
When I use Pre-cut fabric I wash the quilt after the top is pieced, before batting and quilting. I still do this EXTRA step as shown below when using a solid color with a white background., after machine washing and drying fabric.
These are the fabrics that I will check for color fade. 
I make my own little washing, I use dish soap and hot tap water
Add fabric, move it around
Add lid and shake as a washer does. Let is set for a bit. 10-15 minutes.
Rise well, this fabric DID NOT fade.
IF NO fading please check for fade or bleed in drying. Lay fabric on clean white paper towel and let dry. Some fabrics will dry color onto another fabric.
These fabrics did NOT fade or bleed, time to cut a quilt ! !
Generations Quilts I have shared this post here for YEARS and it’s one of the best. I DO NOT like using any form of product on my fabric/quilts. But these products are here if you like. She has linked all in the post ! as I did.
