New Friday Tutorial: The Dandy Star Quilt

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!

If you’ve seen a Jenny tutorial before then you know that she doesn’t like waste! So, this is what you do when you have leftover HSTs! Isn’t it so cute for being so simple??

Why not throw caution to the wind and give those geese a little freedom to roam? Turn up some sweet tunes and pass out a few fancy drinks just for kicks; really let those birdies shake a tail feather! This week’s Tangled Geese Quilt is a fun take on the traditional Flying Geese.

New Friday Tutorial: The Crosswalk Quilt Tutorial

There’s nothing as quaint as a small town. (Of course, as small town folks ourselves, we may be a tad bit biased!) I’m talking about the kind of place where you can step off your front porch and follow the sidewalk to the library, the park, or the corner bakery. It’s the kind of place where kids can ride their bikes all the way across town and the neighbors are friendly and familiar.

Today’s new tutorial, The Crosswalk Quilt, was inspired by a beautiful line of fabric called Neighborhood. It’s simple and sweet, but intricate and eye-catching all at once.
