Inspire. Empower. Create.
I fell instantly in love with this week’s new tutorial! This is a beautiful quilt that stands the test of time! All you need is a 4 patch and some snowballed corners and you’ve got the Double Square Star Quilt! Don’t you just love it??
Try it out and make sure to share your version with us on social media using #doublesquarestarquilt!
This quilt features the brand new fabric line created by Mary herself, called Small Wonders for Springs Creative and it is filled with what Mary calls “irresistible small scale prints” perfect for patchwork. If you love a print, you don’t have to worry about cutting your favorite design in half or not seeing the complete print when you cut your fabric to piece together into a quilt! It has a beautifully vintage flare and it’s just so cute!
This quilt is a slight variation of the 54-40 or Fight Quilt. Watch in the tutorial how you can flip a few squares and get the original. We can’t wait to see what you make with this pattern! Make sure to share on social media using #andesquilt!
Here are a few quotes from Mary Fons that we love:
“When life as you know it is torn into a zillion pieces, it just makes sense to tear up fabric into a zillion pieces and then sew it back together again into organized blocks with a nice French-fold binding.” (Source)
“Once the quilt bug bit me, obsession set in.” (Source)
We just love the Missouri Star quilt block (good thing, right?) and Jenny had to make a baby quilt version. It is just so perfect for a quick baby gift that will steal the show! You’re going to love this fun binding technique that adds an extra little edge to give it an extra polish!
It features the stunning Fancy and Fabulous Collection by Fancypants Designs for Riley Blake Designs!
Such a fun tutorial for you today! It’s not a quilt, but we think you’re going to be amazed by how easy it is! Missouri Star Quilt Company has started to offer knit fabrics and we think this is the perfect tutorial to show you how to use them! There is even a Free Download of the PDF Pattern that you can get HERE.
It features the gorgeous Four Corners Collection by Simple Simon & Co. for Riley Blake. Isn’t this such a beautiful print?
Elizabeth and Liz from Simple Simon & Co. are just so fun and we had a blast with them here in Hamilton!
Don’t you just love taking a familiar quilt block, turning it a different way and creating something completely new? That’s what we did with the Love Notes Quilt to create this new design, the Love Notes Star! It’s a beautiful quilt and we know you’ll just love creating this one!
You could make this with charm packs or just a layer cake of prints and a layer cake of solids!
