Every Quilt Has a Story

The Ladies a Quilt Pattern Book

The Ladies

The Ladies Quilt Pattern Book The Ladies Quilt Pattern started early on in my quilt designing. I love sampler quilts, I draw and draw quilt blocks. Some are the classic ones and some are the ones I designed and like.

When I was designing and planning this quilt, I was home day after day. I would spend entire days piecing quilt blocks. Kind of my heaven and there are 68 quilt blocks in this quilt book/pattern. Husband worked twelve-hour days, six days a week. And I seemed to be able to be content and happy in my world of quilt blocks.

The thing that took The Ladies to the next level was the trip to the fabric shop. I was always hoping to own a shop,(dream) any way,  I knew the blue fabric was right when I saw it. Purchasing fabric is kind of a sport to me and I do it ALL the time. Knowing the blue was going to be the base and pop color of the quilt I purchased about 5 yards. Way more than would be needed. But…more is more. The additional colors, pink, green and the blue pattern  were from my scrap closet that I had on hand. With this quilt I figured out each blocks colors as I pieced it, but not each quilt block as it would be put together into the quilt. And/or what quilt block would be placed next to each other. See one of The Ladies, quilt patterns.

The Ladies quilt blocks were featured on my site and after completing them all, the quilt pattern was finished  added to Etsy as a PDF and NOW in Amazon as a printed book and eBook.

Of course, The Ladies, are really my Quilt Ladies and me.

As you lay out quilt blocks, take a digital photo and see what it will look like before sewing the blocks together. The picture takes you away from the quilt and you see prospective in your quilt block.

Red Fabric and Fade

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. check for red fabric fade

I make my own little washing, I use dish soap and hot tap water
check for red fabric fade

Add fabric, move it around
check for red fabric fade

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 ! !
