Plus sign quilt

I present to you another one of my Quilt Block Tutorial videos! When I’m browsing on Pinterest (which is practically all the time!), I always seem to come across beautiful quilts made with th…

Gosh – first of all, Happy New Year! I hope this year is a happy and creative one for you all. I’ve been really slack at blogging last year, but I am keeping up regularly on Instag…

I made this quilt a few months back combining some of my favorite prints in a fun, large scale design. I saw a lot of tutorials/patterns for plus-sign quilts that called for cutting all the fabric into squares and sewing them back together, but I didn't want to break up these prints more than I needed to so I made the plus signs with 2 squares and a rectangle. I would suggest sketching the quilt blocks ahead of time so that you can figure out how many different fabrics you need to use, but I…

Ta-Da!!! My Collection Challenge Plus quilt is all finished, quilted and bound. I quilted straight lines across the diagonal using a walking foot. I just eyeballed the lines across from point to point. The quilting came out to about a 2" bias grid. The backing worked out great! I pieced it together and tried to match the pattern. While not a perfect match, you have to look for the piecing seam. I'm really pleased with this backing print for this quilt top and the intended recipients. The…

The binding is on and the quilt is finished! This quilt is a modification of the Rick Rack Runner pattern from "Modern Plus Sign Quilts" by Cheryl Brickey and Paige Alexander. I met Paige at QuiltCon in Nashville this past February. Her day job involves working with numbers so I know where she gets her inspiration for the patterns in the book! I had a stash of 30's prints which were used in this quilt. I still have lots left... If you look closely, you can see the vertical and horizontal…

The Modern Plus Quilt is finally finished! I've cooked up a tutorial if you're interested in making your own! It's a fun alternative to regular patchwork, but the piecing is just as easy since you're still using squares! I can definitely see myself making more plus quilts in the future! If you’d rather have this tutorial in downloadable/printed form, check out my Arithmetic Quilt Pattern. It features six different quilt sizes in three different square sizes. That adds up to eighteen…

I love English Paper Piecing (EPP). I always haven an EPP project nearby. It usually keeps me from falling asleep while watching TV! And also it’s always handy having some projects at hand wh…
