That Time of Year for a Red Quilt

A Log Cabin Quilt in Red

It’s that time of year again, time to bring out my red quilt! I know it may be a bit early…but this quilt weights a ton and I just need it now ! Quilt pattern is below.

I’m very lucky to quilt with a small quilt and craft group every Monday. We sew, talk, laugh, solve a few of the world’s problems, and somehow manage to get a little quilting/crafting done.

Last spring, one of the quilters in our group announced, “I’m cleaning out my fabrics. What colors do you all want?” Well, you don’t have to ask me twice. I said, “Anything Christmas!”

I decided to make quilt for the holiday’s for our king size bed, and it turned out huge. A Log Cabin Christmas quilt for me! Most of the reds and black edging fabric I had. And here it is.

Machine pieced and long arm quilted.
It’s a bed spread quilt, loving it! It’s HUGE !

What is the easiest quilt pattern to make…a log cabin quilt block?
Or a 4-patch quilt block… they are BOTH here for you in one quilt block.

Then I just cut 1 1/2″ strips,

Make a Quilt Block

An English Rose Quilt Block

I know I’m tired when I start a Monday with corn chips and a VERY large cup of coffee. And yes, I’ve been dipping the chips in the coffee, too. I think it’s all that cream that just happened to make its way into my cup…don’t tell.

But enough about my questionable Monday breakfast choices,
let’s talk quilts!

You have to LOVE a quilt pattern named English Rose. The name alone makes me think of an old-fashioned garden, pretty china cups, flowers everywhere, and maybe a quilt tossed over the back of a chair. It just sounds like quilting, doesn’t it?

The finished English Rose quilt block measures 10″ x 10″, and this is one of those blocks that can completely change depending on the fabrics you choose.
Make it soft and romantic with pinks and creams, give it an old-fashioned look with reproduction fabrics, or forget the “rose” altogether and make it in blues, yellows, or scraps from your basket.

That’s the fun part. The quilt pattern gives you the starting point, the fabric makes it yours.

And apparently, corn chips and coffee give me the energy to tell you about it. Monday is officially underway! Off to my small group, also know as my support group, therapy quru’s and just great people. AND they Quilt !

If you’d like the complete set of 68 of this series and how to make the quilt, it’s HERE for you !

A Perfect Quilt Block

Blue and White Quilt Block to Make

This quilt block from The Ladies Quilt Pattern Book has taken on a life of it’s on Pinterest ! Who would have thought this little star quilt ?!?! So here is it again !

I love seeing which quilt blocks catch your eye. Sometimes it’s a block I never expected to be a favorite—and then Pinterest takes over! That’s one of the things I love about quilting. A simple little block can become something completely different depending on the fabrics, colors, and quilter making it.

With 68 different blocks to choose from, you can make The Ladies Quilt as shown in the book, pick a few favorites for a smaller quilt, make pillows or table runners, or simply work your way through the blocks one at a time.

And if Pinterest has taught me anything, it’s this: Never underestimate a good little quilt block!

All the quilt blocks stitched together, a quilt design (finished quilt measures 76″ x 84″ ) and that’s what became
“The Ladies” Quilt Pattern Book.

My Great-Great Grandmother’s Quilt
This quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother. Making it my, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME ! Well…That’s how I like to look at it.

I never met her and my mom only remembered helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright, but the Florida sun won on these photo’s.

The hand quilting on this quilt is WONDERFUL
