Quilting Along with the FQS!

Here is Block 1 for my

Lady of the Lake Quiltalong

with the

Fat Quarter Shop

To make this quilt ...

FQS Video Tutorial Here

and

Free Block Pattern Here

There is a beautiful

Lady of the Lake Quilt Kit

made with

"The Good Life" fabrics by Bonnie and Camille

that includes the triangle papers.

I am sew excited to be a part of this wonderful quiltalong!

I hope you will soon be sewing along with us soon!

I love this pattern!

As my readers know, I love learning new tips and techniques
and sharing them with all my online quilty friends.

My favorite thing about sewing this FQS version of the traditional
Lady of the Lake Quilt Block
is a wonderful new-to-me method for making HSTs.

Triangles on a Roll

These are the 3" finished size.

For this you cut two squares,
sandwich them right sides together,
pin
(or not pin ... like I did in the photo above),

set your stitch length to 1.6 as recommended,

and sew as shown by the arrows along the broken stitch lines.

Trim the edges, if need be, and cut in squares along the solid lines.

Cut into triangles on the solid cutting lines.

Fold and peel off the papers.

The small stitch length helps to make the paper removal easier
and will not disrupt your stitches.

Press ... and then ... my favorite part ...

Snip the dog ears off and you are done!

You will have eight perfectly square and sized HST units
ready to sew into blocks.

I love it!

With my achy hands and challenging vision,
these are a sew helpful and time saving, too.

Also, I have never been a fan of drawing lines on the backs on my blocks.
I am always looking for good alternative methods
and this is my new HST method of choice.

I started this journey Here with this glorious bundle of fat quarters
and some yardage that was in my stash.
This is

"On the Wing" by Abi Hall for

Moda Fabrics

To make the best use of my fabric and give my quilt a scrappy look,

I cut one large square and two small squares from each fat quarter

and then cut my large squares on the diagonal.

saving the piece on the left for future use.

Then I paired these with two different prints.

Sewed and pressed and snipped

and sewed some more ...

... and made two different blocks for each print.

I assembly lined units next to my sewing machine.

Very quickly I had a nice stack of blocks ready to sew into my quilt top.

More Lady of the Lake Quiltalong posts coming soon!

Lady of The Lake Quilt Top Done!

The top is done for my

Lady of the Lake Quilt Along Quilt!

Pattern and Video Tutorial for this quilt may be found

The Jolly Jabber

Here is a close up of the colors and fabrics

The lighting in my northern exposure living room does not do these fabrics justice.

I will try to take it outside when the sun shines for a better photo op.

I love how this has worked up.

The top now measures about 82" square

and I had planned to add plain blue borders

but the built in border with the sashing and setting triangles

looks good to me.

My UFO top is done,

but there are many more wonderful projects to see today

Quilt Quazy Queens Blog Hop

Unidentified Fabric Object!

"Mommy, we have a problem!"

When

Marian @ Seams To Be Sew

announced that the theme for this year's

Quilt Quazy Queens Blog Hop

was UFOs

I knew I had (more than) a few of these objects in my orbit
to be finished.

I picked one that I enjoyed working on last fall and
really want to see finished.

Lady of the Lake Quilt Along Quilt

I had finished all the blocks to make the quilt along quilt last September
and was a little concerned that the fabrics I chose,
although I love the bright colors and prints,
were too overwhelming
when placed side by side.

So my little quilty kitties and I put our heads together ...

... and decided to make sashing between the blocks
with this restful solid blue fabric.

It is Lake Blue from Kona solids.

Here it is in progress on my design wall.

I will be using this for the setting triangles and outer border, too.

Fortunately for me, kind Marian said that
we did not have to have this UFO finished.
Thank you, sweet Marian.

I am not finished as of this typing.

The view out my window today.

We have 2 feet of new snow out there.

Although there is a lot more damage in our yard,
we were blessed again not to lose power.

Digging out from this type of weather event is tiring
and time consuming.

I have been sewing ...

... but my UFO is still a UFO.

I decided to make a larger quilt so I sewed six more blocks.

This is quick and easy with the Triangles On a Roll papers.

This is my WIP yesterday on my design wall.
I am still adding sashing and setting triangles and corners.

Nutmeg has been very helpful making this quilt,
with occasional cat naps.

My quilty kitties and I hope to have this top done on Friday.

I will update this post with our progress .
I shall keep on sewing.

Please visit all the lovely Quilt Quazy Queens today ...
