Sewing room

Over Christmas break I decided it was time to redo my sewing room. It had been the ugly grey I bought it with and accessories left over from this room: 
It was tome for something new and fresh, creating an oasis of creativity. Here’s what I made: 










I’ll do a post with the minis later. I’m so much happier with this layout!!!

Mini!

I decided to make some minis to decorate my new sewing room wall (as in newly painted and organized). Here’s the first: 

Bright HST quilt

I started this quilt years and years ago! This is a throw size (76.5x56), cheerful and bright :)

Blue ridge beauty

So I never do a quilt according to a pattern. I generally like to change things up or create my own pattern. This quilt, though, has been on my to-do list forever, as is. It took months to do since I do a bit at a time, but here it is...Bonnie Hunter’s Blue Ridge Beauty:

Queen purple

Made this queen sized quilt for my sister’s Christmas present. Not quilted yet, so I’ll have to post again later. Pattern is called “Toe the lime”. 

By His stripes

 I saw a quilt on Facebook that inspired me. I had things in my scrap bin and fabric tubs they could make a quilt...and in my head they came together. There is no pattern followed but I can make a tutorial if you’d like. Here’s the quilt I’m calling, “By His stripes”. 

Slanty Stars

Ok, I remembered this concept but couldn’t find any pics with reference to the original title or pattern. So, I’ll share it here, as I created it.

Sew three 2.5”x6.5” strips together.





























Next, cut 5x3.5” rectangles if accent fabric, and slice once on the diagonal. Set them on the 3 strip patch like so
:

I believe it was 2 3/4” in on the bottom. I used a tiny piece of tape on my small cutting board so I could do the same all the time. See 1/4” into the yellow.


Cut along the right edge of the yellow triangle. Flip and iron.


Now trim to a 6.5” square. Place four together and sew into a block! Trim edges to make square. Sew together with others to make your quilt! I did 5x7 blocks, with two non-star blocks at the edge, alternating which side. This set them diagonally to create movement but isn’t necessary. My completed quilt is 63x80.
