Candle Quilt Block

Candles can be used to celebrate many things.

Originally this block was created for a Halloween quilt, but in the video demonstration, you will see that I have made it to celebrate my son’s birthday.

Change the colors in the block to create the effect you want for your wall hanging or quilt.

Cat's Paw Quilt Block

Cat's Paw Quilt Block

Whether you call it Cat’s Paw or Bear’s Paw Quilt Block, this is a relatively easy to make block, and quite popular with quilters.

In this version, I have printed my cat’s picture on fabric and placed it in the center of the block.

To make the picture large enough to see, the block is quite large.

Peaceful Piecing!

Celebrate “Be Nice to New Jersey Week” with this quilt block created in the official state colors of New Jersey.

To save time this block has been sewn together using a strip sewing technique instead of cutting individual strips for each patch in the block.

Crossroads Quilt Block with Strips

Crossroads Quilt Block with strips

Earlier this month, I explored methods of replacing rectangles with strips of fabric, making a quilt block a little more lively and interesting.

Yesterday, I decided to take a relatively simple block and replace some of its patches with strips of fabric.

In this week’s block, you’ll see how it worked.

It was much easier than I thought. I had given up creating the pattern in my software – the math just wasn’t working out right.

But when I measured the rectangle I wanted to replace and just started cutting and sewing strips, somehow the math problems evaporated!

I like it when that happens.
