Leftover scrap triangles are a common occurrence in when sewing quilt blocks. They are the result of making any quilt block unit that uses the easy corner triangle method, like flying geese, or more recently around here, the method used to make the Ribbon blocks. If you’ve been sewing along with the Happy Scrappy QAL, […]

Although this quilt looks complicated - it's really a "two color quilt". One side is text fabric, the other ... scraps! Using the AccuQuilt Half Square 2" Finished Triangle die to cut all the fabrics - it was super fun sewing a HUGE pile of little squares. An alternative method is to rotary cut using a template like this one which I use when I snowball a corner. This blog post explains one way to use the Folded Corner Clipper, along with some video links: HERE. There are 1,980 pieces in the…

Teaginny Designs: Scrappy Triangles Quilt

It seems fitting to finish this quilt in time for spring. (Well, technically it is spring, although we're expecting a bit of snow tomorrow.) The bright colors of the Anna Maria Horner fabrics are undeniably cheerful and full of life, just like the season, and the low volume prints set them off nicely. I used 50 weight white, Aurifil thread to quilt the top in a free motion figure eight design, which I recommend if you are new to free motion quilting or have a largish quilt to handle on a…

Ok, finally! Look what I have for you… a quick little tutorial on how to construct the scrappy triangle blocks I used in my Nautical quilt. A few things before we start… this tutorial w…

This is probably one of the trendiest quilts I will ever make. Normally I don't aspire to make trendy quilts, but sometimes it happens anyway. It all started with Cotton and Steel scraps that I received from Holly last June. I thought I was using them quickly, but it turns out I've had them for almost a year already! I guess that's still a quick turn around for me. Ha! :) I decided to add low volume borders to each center triangle. I love how the centers sparkle! It's very interesting to see…

String pieced half square triangles - another great scrap quilt! So simple yet cute and not too busy. Great use of scraps.

How is summer sewing for you? Here's a really fun quilt pattern that Amy Smart at Dairy of a Quilter and I came up with to feature my new fabric collection, Let's Pretend. I love triangles, and it fits this fabric line perfectly with all the geometric textiles. We chose to use the bolder col

We're on the down hill stretch! I've had a couple of questions about whether this 'year' will extend to the end of 2018 or for 52 weeks....

I often make quilts without a quilt pattern. Today, I'll explain my process so you can gain confidence in making your own quilts without a pattern.

OK, so you have scraps, and you sew them into slabs. And you lay your template on it, and you say, "DAMMIT." But fear not, just remember these words: "If it's too big, cut it off, and if it's too small, just add to it." Here I've lopped a chunk off the top and added it to the side. And see those extra triangular bits on each side? You can put those to good use too. although you may have to hunt for them... YES!!! OMG, am I having fun with these! Not only is it great fun clearing out the…

It was an intriguing idea. And it helped address the overflowing basket of small scraps of light background fabric. But, I had no idea how much I would love the finish. Very different from my usual…
