New Friday Tutorial: The Four Patch Lattice Quilt

MSQC New Tutorial on the Blog!

This Four Patch Lattice Quilt Is So Much Easier Than It Looks!

Years ago, I made a birthday cake for a new neighbor from Cuba. Laura was unfamiliar with boxed cake mix, so when she saw those two mouth-watering layers of chocolatey goodness, she was certain I had spent hours in the kitchen. It just didn’t seem possible that such a decadent dessert could be whipped together in less than 5 minutes! We live in a magical time, my friends, where fabulous cakes – and quilts – can be created with amazing speed and ease!

This Four Patch Lattice Quilt Is So Much Easier Than It Looks!

In the quilting world, it just doesn’t get easier than a four patch made of charms. But add a simple slice of black, and you’ve got the makings of a gorgeously intricate Four Patch Lattice! It’s so easy, and yet it looks like a million bucks (our favorite combination)!

New Friday Tutorial: The Cutting Corners Quilt!

MSQC New Tutorial on the Blog!

Make a Cutting Corners Quilt with Jenny Doan in her Free Video Tutorial!

Cutting corners is usually looked down on. It’s the lazy man’s way out, ease over quality.  It’s duct-tape car repairs and “premium” chicken nuggets filled with mystery meat. But when Jenny talks cutting corners, you can bet she’s talking about creating something that is as completely fabulous as it is easy! Today’s Tutorial, Cutting Corners, combines strip sets and half square triangles together into one gorgeously simple design. It’s scrappy and it’s clean at the same time!

New Friday Tutorial: The Dandy Star Quilt

MSQC New Tutorial on the Blog!

Make a Dandy Stars Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company! Free Video Tutorial!

A “dandy” is a man who is obsessively concerned with his “look.” Everything has to be in place. Dapper shoes, well cut jacket, expertly trimmed moustache; you know the type. And while modern men generally feel fanciest in an expensive suit, you may be surprised to learn that just a few hundred years ago, all the best dressed men were prancing around in cropped pants and high heels. Why? To show off their manly calves, of course! Personally, I’d take a dandy quilt over a man in high heels any day of the week, so I think I’ll stick with this week’s tutorial, the Dandy Stars Quilt!
