New Friday Tutorial: The Denim Strip Quilt with Special Guest Amy Barickman

Quilting superstar Amy Barickman from Indygo Junction is here to team up with Jenny for a new tutorial, the Denim Strip Quilt! This is a great quilt for beginners because it looks so much more difficult than it is, so you can show off your skills without pulling your hair out! It doesn’t even require binding (though you could absolutely construct it like a traditional quilt with binding)!

Amy Barickman’s Crossroads Denim fabrics are a dream to work with! They are so soft and come in so many gorgeous colors that you’ll definitely be making a list of all the things you can make with it!

This quilt was inspired by this pillow that Amy had made and we just had to turn it into a quilt!!

New Friday Tutorial: Tiny Wonky Stars Quilt

Some quilt tutorials are pure inspiration, some are adaptations of old classic patterns so they’re precut-friendly… and some tutorials are more personal! The Tiny Wonky Stars Quilt came about because Jenny’s granddaughter was headed off to college and obviously needed a quilt for her new digs!

All you need to make this quilt is some 2.5″ strips and some yardage! Let your imagination go wild, the possibilities are endless. Imagine this quilt in crazy bright colors, or make the stars yellow with a navy background! You could even arrange the blocks to create your favorite constellation!

New Friday Tutorial: The One Seam Flying Geese Quilt & Advent Wall Hanging

Have you ever drooled over a quilt pattern and then been super discouraged by how much is involved in creating it? Well, I love flying geese, but sometimes I just want something a little simpler, so I am so excited about this method of making a flying geese. You won’t believe how easy it is!

Here’s a basic preview of how to make this amazing block! You’re definitely going to want to watch this one to catch all the details!

Jenny came up with a darling bonus project using this same method! Look at this great holiday wall hanging!

When you sew your flying geese together, it creates little pockets on either side, so Jenny created this Christmas-y layout with 24 pockets that makes a little Christmas Advent Calendar! You could applique some numbers on there and really personalize it to make something really sweet!

We even created some super cute printables to use for the advent for some fun things you can do each day with your family! You can download it here:

Or you could just use it as a festive wall hanging and fill the pockets with Christmas cards or wrapped candies! You can do whatever you want!
