These are my test toppers made from the 60 degree diamond templates by Krista Moser and Creative Grids. They were very easy to use and I'm ready to make more projects from them. Vicki at Vicki's Crafts and Quilting: It's all in the Stars (knitbug2.blogspot.com) got me into this because of this post!
So I went hoppin over at Krista Moser's site and found all kinds of goodies. Blog | Krista Moser: The Quilted Life | Seattle and got myself into lots of trouble.
My test toppers ............ I took a shortcut and just made the diamond centers instead of making stripsets. I must say I like the effect of the stripsets much better. But the toppers came together wonderfully and I'm ready to make more diamond patterns.

This is a pattern from Kim Schaefer's booklet of Calendar Quilts. I prepped all the pieces for the turkey last year or maybe it was 2021? I decided this was the year to complete it. Spent several afternoons stitching down all the fusible applique and now I'm enjoying it hanging on the wall. It's stitched and quilted with Glide Military Gold thread and finished at 26 x 33 .

Hmmm. when you make a long-term project scrappy, it calls for having alot of fabrics tossed about in your work space. I am still caught up with this project, sort of. I 'm not sold on my choices for block 3, so I'm pretty sure I will be re-doing that one. It just needs some light background for contrast!
I made block 3 using the paper piecing method; but for the first time, I sewed next to the paper instead of thru it. It worked out pretty good. I made an extra copy of the pattern units to cut apart and use as templates for cutting my fabrics which makes placement easier also. My paper piecing methods also use many tips from Carol Doak's teachings.

The Mandala quilt along was created by Angela Walters at Quilting Is My Therapy. The qal is finished but you can still get the products HERE and the instruction videos HERE .
This was a great panel to free motion quilt on. Rulers were used only to make smooth stitching on the long archs. I worked on it steadily until I got to the background, where I stalled because I wanted it to flow with the design and not stitch just an allover filler.
My Mandala finished at 55 x 66. I used several colors of Glide threads and a Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. I didn't get a picture of the backing.

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I've followed along with Moda Blockheads Series in the past, but this is the first time I've actually jumped in to make some. Since I have an abundance of autumn fabrics, I decided to start there. That should give me lots of options since I don't know where this series is headed.
Block 1 - lots of unstitching, I wanted to cut down on seams created with all those half square triangles, so I used my GoCube to make that parallelogram. It is a 'directional' die plus this block has the shape going in opposing directions. So I also had to cut twice to get it right. Then I always, always want to sew that triangle onto the wrong ends, when it goes on the sides of the shape. After all that, I DO like my block.

Just finished another quilt 4 kids quilt. This one was made from quarter log cabin blocks. It was another kit I pre-cut at the end of last year. Always handy to have a grab and go project ready. It finished at 44 x 52 . This was a really fun layout discovered while playing with symmetry in EQ.

Have a happy and productive week. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I'm calling this Quarter Log Cabin # 12. It is the 12th Quilts for Kids I've made this year. Yay! I'm aiming for 2 kiddo quilts a month. It's still June, right?
I cut the kit for this quilt last December. I enjoy planning and cutting kits in November or December. Then I can just grab a kit when I need something simple and ready to work on. This quilt finished at 44 x 52 . It has cotton batting. I free motion quilted it with Glide Mist green thread.

I've made great progress on my project this week. I wanted to work on other things, but all the parts were out on the work table, so I worked on it. I have all the blocks for the center done! That is 63 blocks, all trimmed and waiting for the border blocks. Here is just some of the log blocks.

I cut this kit last December for a quarter log cabin quilt, kiddo size at 46 x 56. I started with a quarter log cabin block in EQ, used the symmetry tool to get this arrangement just to be different. Finally quilted it with a pretty blue Glide thread top and bottom. I call this quilting design "organic". It started out with a definite plan with a curved ruler but I ended up doing it faster free hand. The kiddos wont mind.

I quilted up Koby 2 last week and stitched the binding down by machine. I will donate it to our "For Foster Children" mission at church. It is kinda bold colors and might appeal to a teen. I used a gray shade of Glide thread to quilt it and Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. It finished at 46 x 60.
I will definitely be making more of these quick to cut and assemble "Koby" quilts which is a pattern from GEQuiltDesigns.com It works great for larger prints or a collection of many prints and mixes up easily.
