Fabric Star Ornaments

November 10, 2020 4 Comments

Fabric star ornament pattern

It's that time of the year! I started sewing for Christmas! There are so many beautiful Christmas prints and so many patterns out there, isn't difficult to choose what to sew first?? I love to make these stars (pattern here) from fabric with metallic accent. The simple stars are quick and easy to sew and you can make them in any size you want. This is a great project for small … [Read more...]

How to finish quilted coasters without binding

No binding coasters tutorial

I love to sew mini blocks! These ones below measures 2.75''. In case you think that you don't have patience to sew such blocks, I can tell you that the piecing is really fun, because it is actually strip piecing. For these blocks I used 1'' wide strips. The pattern for this block is here. I stitched a 16'' pillow and I thought to turn the three orphan blocks into coasters. At this … [Read more...]

Charm square (or scrap) friendly quilt pattern

July 23, 2020 8 Comments

I don't like to work with scraps and I don't have too many charm square packs in my drawers, but I am glad that I made a new pattern that can give them a new life. I am so excited about it that my next fabric order will include some Christmas charm square packs! What's special about this pattern? It looks complicated but in reality it is quick and easy. 41 pieces into a block that … [Read more...]

The regular ruler is not that regular!

How to sew Y seams

Do you know that the regular, long rectangular ruler that all quilters own is not that regular?? It can do more than cutting strips! Those 30, 45, and 60 degree lines help you cut triangles. How about these triangles of this block? The big angle of this triangle measures 120 degrees and the other two angles measure 30 degrees. You can cut them from strips in any width and here is … [Read more...]

Y seams patchwork

How to sew Y seams

Pattern #2 in the Illusions series -  this is regular piecing. I am so glad I took the time to learn the secrets of Y seams - no more fear! Sewing the triangular units is  piece of cake, combining six of them is a little more challenging; there are 12 seams that meet in the center; the task requires just a little more care and adequate pressing  and trimming of the the seam … [Read more...]

Y seams and English paper piecing

June 22, 2020 1 Comment

How to sew Y seams

I am working on the third pattern in the Illusions series and I realized I haven't posted on the blog about the first two projects so here is the first one. Y seams intimidate many quilters and I was one of them! I made a gorgeous 3D design and the first thought was, of course - stay away from Y seams! So I stitched it in English paper piecing. You see here 6 different fabrics and maybe you … [Read more...]

Flanged binding tutorial

Flanged binding tutorial - easy technique for a special finishing touch

You can add a special detail to a quilt even after the quilting is done and that detail has a name: flanged (or faux piped) binding. Unlike the regular binding made from one fabric, the flanged binding uses two fabrics: a main fabric and an accent fabric. See below my quilt to better understand how to choose the fabrics for this type of binding. The accent (flange) fabric must contrast … [Read more...]
