Tuesday quilt in progress Dec. 18

Hello and welcome!
In this busy holiday season, I am finding time to work on my current project, a log cabin quilt.
I finished the blocks in 2017 and didn't want to trim them up at that time.
Well, early this month I pulled them out and trimmed them square (though not all to the same size).  I was as careful as I could be in sewing them, but I found I did have some variation in size!
Well, after trimming, I might as well set them on the floor and audition a zig zag design.
And since they are laid out, I might as well sew them together, right?
And find that border fabric I set aside for this project.
And then cut and add the border.
And layer it up, and pin baste.
And start quilting it on my own machine.


I am still in the midst of quilting this sandwich, but I am over half done!  Some problems with tension but I am doing OK.  It's about 80 by 75 inches, so a bit of a struggle to shove through the harp of my trusty old Kenmore.
All reproduction fabric in this one, some of my favorites:

Tuesday finish Dec. 4

Well the holidays are here and it's busy at chez Viridian!!!

I have not been able to continue on my Dear Jane blocks and triangles, or maybe my mojo is missing.  Instead I worked these past two weeks on a Bricks and Stepping stone project.  (Pattern by Bonnie Hunter)  I had a specific recipient in mind and a deadline.


And a close up, showing the variety of fabrics - reproductions, old stash, and batiks:


The dark batik border, fabric left over from another project, actually sets off the quilt quite well.  Simply machine quilted by me on my regular sewing machine, finishing at about 60 by 70 inches (I think).

The recipient loved this.  That made me happy!

Tuesday quilt Nov. 13

Hello and welcome to my blog!
I was at a conference and couldn't blog last week, now I am back at it.
I finished a long term UFO a few weeks ago!  It was stalled at the borders.  I purchased some fabric (just enough for borders, backing and binding) to finish this off.


This Courthouse Steps pattern quiltlet is about 30 inches by 30 inches.  Each log is only 1/2 inch wide!  There is a lot of fabric in those seam allowances!  Very simply machine quilted.  All reproduction fabric too.  No particular use for this one yet.

Jane triangle Oct. 30

Good day and welcome!
Life is pretty busy here at chez Viridian!  I was away at a conference and could not post last week.
This week I have a Jane Stickle triangle that I finished earlier this month.


This is on the right side of the quilt as it is usually shown, 10th down from the top.  Paper pieced, then the two sides (in white) were appliqued on.  I pricked my finger and got a little blood on this one!  Helpful hint:  use your own saliva to get the blood out - it works!
There is supposed to be another white triangle appliqued on to match the quilt - I decided to stop here.

Please see dearjane.com for more explanation of the 1863 quilt I am slowly reproducing in blue and white.

Tuesday Quilt block Oct. 16

Well life continues on in its busy way, and I slowly continue on with my Jane Stickle blocks.  This week: A change from triangles, to do a 4.5 inch (finished) block:


This is J-3 or Rick's Volleyball net.  I appliqued on the white quarter circles on the center square.  My seams don't match, but finished is better than perfect!

Tuesday triangle Oct. 9

Good day and welcome to my blog!  I found some more time to work on quilting projects this past week.  I have a project in process, not ready for pictures.  What I can share with you is another Jane Stickle triangle:


This triangle is from the top row of the quilt as it is usually shown, and is #8 from the left.  Paper piecing and a little applique on the bottom.  Not too bad!  One of my favorite fabrics for this quilt.

Tuesday Triangle Sept. 25

Hello and welcome to my blog today!  Busy at my day job, but slowly working on my Jane Sticle blocks and triangles.  Here is a triangle I made earlier this month:


This is from the bottom row of the quilt as it is usually shown, 3rd from the left, and is called Attic Window.  My big bottom triangle came up a little short so I had to add a strip - not matching the plaid - oops!  Indigo fabric not black.

Tuesday Quilt Block Sept. 18

Good Morning!  My busy work life leaves me little time to blog.  And a bad cold left me lethargic and sniffling all weekend.  So today i share with you a Jane Stickle block I made at the end of August:


This is F-1.  I appliqued the diamonds on.  And it really is a square 5 inch block!

Tuesday Triangle Sept. 11

You know, having a busy day job really cuts into blogging, and reading others' blogs! :-)

But it's Tuesday and time to share another triangle.  This one is from the bottom row of the Jane Stickle quilt, as shown in the book about this quilt.


With some careful planning this one can be paper pieced.  Indigo blue fabric not black.

Tuesday triangle: Aug. 21

Hello and welcome to my weekly post!  At least I try to have a new entry weekly.

Today I have a Dear Jane triangle to share, one that I appliqued a while ago. When you are following the work of Jane Stickle, those 4.5 inch blocks and those triangles. you have to think long term, and be happy with the little finishes along the way.

These triangles finish at 5 by 8 inches.  There IS a sense of accomplishment after appliqueing.



This triangle appears on the right side of the Jane Stickle quilt, as it is usually shown, and is known as Love forever.  The pencil line is where I will eventually trim - I cut my background fabric a little large in case of fraying.

Hello and welcome to my weekly post!  At least I try to have a new entry weekly.
Today I have a Dear Jane triangle to share, one that I appliqued a while ago.  These triangles finish at 5 by 8 inches.

This triangle appears on the right side of the Jane Stickle quilt, as it is usually shown, and is known as Fedelia's hearts. 
Appliquing that little heart on the top was tough!  The background is cut extra large - the pencil line is where I am going to trim, when I get ready to assemble the border.  When will that be?  Not for a while, I think!

Quilt #4: Chinese coins

Hello and welcome!
This is an on going story, almost done, of me using up a pile of 2 inch fabric strips that I had cut for a previous project.


The challenge: use them up, and estimate how many quilt tops I could make from them.

Previous entries on this blog have shown crayon box quilts made from these strips.  And a Weed Whacker quilt top.  (All patterns from Bonnie Hunter.)  And two doll quilts.

Well this is quilt top #4:


A strip quilt, a pattern I know as Chinese Coins.  I bought fabric for this one, so that I would not have to piece the white fabric.  It will end up about 65 by 80 inches.  I may quilt this one myself on my domestic sewing machine.

I still have a small amount of strips left!  But, I am tired of looking at these fabrics, and there isn't enough for a full sized quilt, maybe just a doll quilt or two.  Enough!

Yet another quilt top July 31

Good day!
Once upon a time I had a great number of cut 2 inch strips of 30's reproduction fabric, as shown in this post.  I set myself a challenge - how many quilt tops can I make from these strips, not adding too much in the way of background fabric?
Well, I am up to quilt top #3, another one in the pattern of Crayon Box by Bonnie Hunter:


This looks very much like the first crayon box top, only there is more green fabric in the strips, and a green border.  The first Crayon box quilt had more yellow, and a yellow border.
And you know, there were still strips of fabric left over.

So I am in the midst of piecing quilt #4, a Chinese coins style quilt, not ready to be pictures.  Oh yes, and a doll quilt, made from 2 inch squares, all leftovers:


Layered and ready for quilting.
This is what's left:


Will it never be used up?!

Quilt top July 20

Good morning and welcome to my blog!
Oh boy do I have a lot of 2 inch cut strips!  All in 30's reproduction prints.  I pictured them in this post earlier this week.
Time to switch it up and try another pattern using 2 inch strips.  I printed out the instructions to Bonnie Hunter's Weed Whacker pattern, and started in.  At first I didn't like the blocks, but now that they are together I like the look:


Since taking this photo I have added a white border, but I am keeping it simple.
And guess what?   I still have plenty of strips left.  I think I can get two more quilt tops out of these.

Linking up with Can I get a Whoop Whoop.  Possibly also Oh Scrap on Sunday (if I remember to link!).

Quilt top July 17

Hello and welcome, on these warm days in the American Midwest!

I am back after a week away on vacation to visit family.  Before I left I attacked two boxes of 2 inch fabric strips, of 30's reproduction prints.  I had cut them earlier for a planned Trip Around the World quilt project.  The mojo for that project fizzled.  What to do with all those strips, about 18 inches long, cut mostly from fat quarters, and some yardage?


And how many quilt tops can I make from these strips?

First up:  I resized and recalculated Bonnie Hunter's pattern for Crayon Box from a 12 inch block, sewn with 2.5 inch strips, to a 9 inch block, sewn with 2 inch strips.  A little drawing with graph paper and I had it.  On to sewing, with a wide variety of those 30's prints.


White fabric centers are from leftovers from quilt backs.  8 blocks by 10 blocks leads to a 72 by 90 inch quilt top.  Still undecided on borders - maybe none.
  I like the way this turned out - bright and colorful.  And those boxes of fabric strips above?  Look barely touched.  I have more sewing to do!

Quilt top July 3

Happy holidays this week, to those who celebrate.
I took a break from my slow on going Dear Jane project.  In putting my sewing room back together, I found a stash of 2.5 inch fabric strips, 30's reproductions, cut and stashed.  (also a big set of 2 inch strips, but that is another story.)  What to do?
Well, I went to Bonnie Hunter's website, Quiltville.com, and looked up her free patterns. I settled on Crayon box:
http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/crayon-box.html
And started sewing like the wind:


The white fabric in the middle of the blocks is from leftovers from a quilt backing.  All from stash and leftovers! Fun!  Now to layer and quilt this.
Next up: attacking the large amount of 2 inch strips in 30's fabrics.

Friday quilt block June 29

The work to repair our finished basement is done, and I celebrated by starting a new project!  It's not ready to be shown however. 

Today I share with you a previously finished block in my ongoing Jane Stickle project, in indigo and white:


This is J-5.  I have modified this block by adding lines, for paper piecing. A newer fabric for me - love the vintage look.

Tuesday quilt block June 26

I document here my quilting progress, mostly on Dear Jane blocks and triangles. Sometimes a few other projects. New carpet, drywall and paint are in the finished basement, and I am unpacking my quilting stuff from the big moving boxes. Err, a bit more than I remember! I don't think it will all fit on the shelves!

 So a bit here on past progress. This is H-11.


Love this indigo fabric.   A great reproduction.

Friday Triangle June 22

Happy summer, and the long days of June! And welcome to my blog.
I document here my quilting progress, mostly on Dear Jane blocks and triangles.  Sometimes a few other projects.  Right now I am documenting past work as my quilting stuff is packed in (unlabeled) boxes.  Recall that we had a minor flood in the finished basement, meaning new drywall, new paint, and new carpet.  This weekend we hope to have many things back in place.

Anyhow here is my Friday triangle:


I forget the name of this one!  Paper-pieced, which is doable if you cut your diamonds and background fabric over-large for safety, and trim back as you sew it down.

Tuesday quilt block June 19

Hello and welcome!
I am on a trip for my day job.  But I have my computer with me and I can share with you a quilt block from my ongoing Dear Jane journey.
This is L-6, called Maze of Madness:


Paper pieced, with some newer fabric.  Such tiny pieces!  Crazy!  The lines on the plaid fabric don't line up except by accident but that is OK by me, it is done!  Thanks to the Dear Jane program by Electric quilt, I was able to use the paper piecing foundations the program generated.

Tuesday Triangle June 12

Good day, on a somewhat gloomy day in the American Midwest, and welcome to my blog.  It's a busy June for me, with travel and my day job!
Still I can find time to share a triangle from an on-going project, my Dear Jane in Indigo blue and white.


This is a triangle from the top of the Dear Jane quilt as it is usually shown.  I see now it's a little wonky or tilted - hopefully it will work out when pieced into the border of my quilt.  I think that day will come - eventually!  I can piece 2 -3 blocks or triangles a week, except now with the contractors here, taking care of the water damage and repainting.
My sewing/quilting stuff is all packed up in boxes or stacked in another room.  It's going to be VERY interesting unpacking everything and putting it back in place!!!

Tuesday triangle June 5

Good day and welcome to a Tuesday, rather dark and rain coming in my part of the American Midwest.  Time to share a triangle from the Dear Jane project I have ongoing.


This  a triangle from the left side of the quilt as it is usually pictured, 10th down from the top.  It is called Megan's Cathedral and, wouldn't you know, I was working on it the weekend of the royal wedding!
I paper pieced this, and it was a little fussy, but do-able.

Friday triangle June 1

Good day!
It's Friday and time to share some quilty content.
I went shopping in a town near me know for its antique stores and for a great fabric store.  i found some more indigo blue fabric for my on-going project in blue and white.  I washed that fabric up quickly and got to work.  Here is BR 6:

This is on the bottom row of the Jane Stickle quilt, as it is depicted in the book.  It is also known as Frank's Rickrack.  Enthusiasts may note that I simplified the top section a bit for easier piecing.

Good day, and thanks for visiting my blog.
A busy time with graduation and parties and visitors, so just a short share.  I am plugging along wiht my blocks and triangles for my Dear Jane quilt, in indigo fabrics.


This is on the left side, as the quilt is usually shown, second down from the top.  Odd shapes but it can be entirely paper pieced.

Tuesday quilt block May 22

Good day to you, and welcome to my blog of quilty things.
I am continuing on my Jane Stickle project in indigo and white.  I check out every fabric store I can, and on-line too, for more indigo and white fabrics with that look of circa 1900 about them.  I am getting to know the reproduction fabric lines!
I manage  2-3 blocks or triangles a week now.  But soon I will have company, a graduation party, and birthday parties to plan for.   For now, I will share a block with you.


This is M-11 also known at Rickshaw, for what reason I don't know.  Carefully paper pieced, with each fabric piece cut oversized, sewn down and flipped, then trimmed.

Friday quilt block May 18

May is moving right along! Spring is here, and the trees have leafed out fully.

Still waiting on contractors to come and repair the water damage in our finished basement.  This gives me time to do more blocks and triangles on my Jane Stickle quilt.


This is L2.  I see I still need to trim this up!  What projects have you been working on?

Tuesday Triangle May 15

Waiting on insurance and contractors to call/visit and look at our now dry basement.  What to do?  Make blocks or triangles as I am waiting.



This is a Dear Jane triangle from the top row of the quilt as it is usually shown, 9th from the left.  I added seam lines and paper pieced the whole thing.  I have been busy, finding time to get into my quilting space before they pack it all up because of new carpet and painting.
