Opening up this
was sew much fun.
It comes well packaged with two free designs and a place to store your ruler.
The quilt I made is the
My quilty kitties really enjoyed
this specialty ruler and pattern.
The patterns for these specialty X Block and BasiX rulers
not only provide the basic how-to, but they simplify what looks complex
and elevate the quilts to another level.
I am an experienced quilter and designer, but I really needed the pattern instructions
to help me get the hang of these rulers.
Now that I have the basiXs,
my quilty muse is spinning with the the creative possibilites.
My mind went straight to "bookworm" when I saw the name "wiggle worm"
so this sent me stash spelunking to find this
"Goodnight Moon" fabric I have had for some time waiting for the right project.
All the fabrics in this quilt were from my stash.
I used scrappy gray and white 2.5" strips for the background
that were already cut.
Then I cut 2.5" strips from some of my tonals and small prints.
I love scrappy quilts and this pattern is perfect for using up scrap strips.
The pattern called for sewing strips, adding sashing
and the cutting the X-blocks.
The pattern was easy to follow
and this quilt went together very quickly.

After some late night time with my favorite seam ripper,
here is my Wiggle Worm top,
sandwiched and ready to quilt.
I quilted with my heavy duty walking foot.
The binding is my new favorite method,
Two-Color Flanged Machine Binding.

I discovered on this quilt that my zipper foot is perfect for
stitching in the narrow flange next to the puffy binding.
The finished quilt is 48" by 54"
a good size for a toddler.
