Another great idea. The hourglass block is a fun way to achieve a scrappy look, that tends to look more complicated than it is. We love it and hope you do too.
Have you tried a turnover yet? Tell us about it.
Don’t forget to check out the deals on the daily deal. Great prices ALL week on turnovers! {think of this as your lucky day!} Or week.
Have a great day!
Wooo hooo! We’re doing it! We have a ton of great ideas for you for turnover’s. I know you all have been asking what to do with them now that you have them, well we will tell you. So sit back, relax, order yourself some fabulous triangles of fabric, and lets get down to business.
Oh and I meant 80 triangles. NOT squares! (geeze, you’d think I was nervous or something!!) 🙂
Easy peasy charm pack tote bags. We custom made these for a customer and she is using them as Christmas gifts. Didn’t they turn out so cute?
I am working on getting a pattern written up for you all, (i pinkie swear) so we can upload it and let you make your own. They are so easy and fun. We used one charm pack for the two bags on either end, and leftover pieces from an April Cornell jelly roll. Then we covered a button with coordinating fabric, and BOOM….cutest thing ever!
You can never have too many bags, can you?
Have a great day!
Here at MSQC we are all about the easy, quick quilts. You know, something to get you either through a slump, or an idea for a quick gift. And this is a perfect example of just that.
For this specific quilt we used one Panache charm pack and some matching fabric for the borders. Sew the squares into strips and attach them in rows. (best part: NO CUTTING!!) Then we used the amazing scallops, waves and vines ruler (another favorite) and did a little wavy border. I think this turned out to be a perfect gift for a baby shower and it won’t take you a year to make! (well, unless you put it away after an hour or so and lose the whole project….in that vast dark hole we lovingly call ‘the sewing’ room) You know what I mean. 🙂
Just thought I’d share an easy and quick little project.
Enjoy.
*ps. Don’t forget to answer my question in the forums for your chance to win a charm pack!! Free fabric every week! Yay!
Just finished (except for binding- sorry I just couldn’t wait to show you this quilt) is this darling and I DO mean darling quilt we made using the “Be Merry” line from Riley Blake. To say that I LOVE it would be an understatement! Seriously, this fabric is just so unique and cute and fun….we did add a few other lines to round out the effect and I am quite pleased with it! We got the free pattern here. The cool thing about this pattern is that the trees are 3-D. The quilting was a little tricky, but it was no match for Natalie! (she handled it perfectly) Quilting it in an all over mitten design!
So, what do you think?? You wanna make one? Heck, it is a free pattern. If you are interested in a kit email me and I will see what I can do! 🙂
Have a great day! I know I will!
