Merrily I Sew Along ~ Making More Plans To Sew Along

I love this book!

I received it in the mail today because

I pre-ordered this book after seeing previews of it on 

The Jolly Jabber

There is going to be a 

TRIANGLES ON A ROLL SEW ALONG

This FQS YouTube LiveStream

It is about 5 minutes into the video replay.

▸ The sew along will start September 3rd, 2019. ▸ Supplies: 4” and 3” Triangles On A Roll paper,

two fat quarters,

five fat eighths,

and 4 yards of fabric for background fabric

and you need this book ... 

Triangles On A Roll Book

You only need two Triangles on the Roll papers

and I have both of them.

I have all of them as I have been using them fro some time to make

 easy and accurate half square triangles.

If I did not have them I would invest in this master set ...

I am thinking of making a fall fabric quilt and will be pulling fabrics from my stash.

Today was another productive day of sewing.  

I sewed my Day 44 ~ Block 44 

Kinship Fusion Sampler Quilt @ Gnome Angel

#100days100blocks2019

I also now have 48 blocks for my hubby's batik quilt.

I have made 11 different block designs with these

Four cuts from my batik layer cake swap squares.

I am thinking to put up a post showing the specific cuts needed for these different squares

after I complete the top.

I may want to use this pattern again for a quick and easy layer cake quilt.

It has been another warm and humid day here.

I am hoping the air will get cooler and dryer again soon.

Looking forward to autumn.

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.
