Now, my Selvage Spools are a good sized cuddly lap quilt! Diane's directions were easy to follow and even though I really dreaded that Y-Seam at the spool corners, it went off without a hitch! I did end up deviating just a bit from Diane's original design by swapping the spool and background fabric colors and adding a border with the background color to make the spools float a bit.<br />

Just look at all of that quilty texture! Patricia Ritter's Crosshatch pantograph was just the thing for this quilt. Surprisingly, my husband picked it out of a box of new pantos I had just gotten in and said, "you should use that on that selvage quilt." Well, when he actually takes an interest in the making of a quilt, I guess I had better take advantage of that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFGdN6YphoNV2RuTJ48kpfOOEwJhZpvRezk0eMHbRoKlGHVl3V8UqzyZr4ansh5UlCaOGyVYsXK8Fx0woJYbulxd7BJAh40i8uyGmF8qusNf8XGNqEEQhhyphenhypheniEF0toJNXtryub16Q/s1600/SS4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1381" data-original-width="1600" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFGdN6YphoNV2RuTJ48kpfOOEwJhZpvRezk0eMHbRoKlGHVl3V8UqzyZr4ansh5UlCaOGyVYsXK8Fx0woJYbulxd7BJAh40i8uyGmF8qusNf8XGNqEEQhhyphenhypheniEF0toJNXtryub16Q/s320/SS4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
If you decide to make a selvage quilt, I have a couple of suggestions: Stitch really close to the edge of the selvages (I was about 1/8" away from the edge and probably could have gotten closer - I tucked a few edges while quilting). Also pay close attention when quilting to keep the selvage edges flat (again, I ended up with a few tiny tucks, not noticeable unless you're looking for them). Next time I would quilt a selvage quilt from the front of the machine.<br />
<br />
All in all, such a fun project! Thanks Diane! I'm now ready to make the Selvage Baskets quilt!<br />

Once again, I, too, followed along creating Good Fortune with so many quilters out in blogland and around the world. We look forward to Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt every year...the suspense of the theme, the color-scheme, and the pattern itself!</div>

Once Bonnie posted all of her inspiration photos from China and the array of fabric colors she designed with, I immediately thought - now I need to FINALLY use all of those Asian print fabrics that I collected while living in Japan and traveling to China and Korea! They were perfect for this project! I supplemented my stash with lots of silver and gold on white metallic prints (neutrals) and even more gold on gold metallic prints (a substitution for Bonnie's orange in the original design). My friend Kevin (you may know him as <a href="https://kevinthequilter.blogspot.com/">Kevin the Quilter</a>) even offered up any Asian prints he could find in his collection - I don't think he's a fan of them (but I am!)!?!?!?</div>

It must have been serendipity, because years ago, my daughter made this beautiful "good fortune" cross stitch for me. It's been hanging in my sewing studio for years. I asked the opinion of a few fellow quilters (and my daughter's permission) and then decided that it just needed to be the label for my finished quilt. It's perfect and I love it! </div>

What better quilting design for an Asian themed quilt than Haiku, an Asian-inspired edge-to-edge fan design? It really looks great on there and I'm very please with the finished result - and happy to finally use some of my hoarded fabrics! Just look at that beautiful crane and chrysanthemum print (those are the designs that promote good luck and happiness in marriage)! </div>

After the holidays, I was hunting for a new leader/ender project to use up the remainder of all of those lovely little batik (and masquerades as batik) 2-patches gifted to me by Bobbi, a very generous fellow guild member. For these types of projects, I usually begin with looking through patterns on the <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html">Quiltville free patterns tab</a>. I have had <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2013/06/dancing-nines-pattern-time.html">Dancing 9-Patch</a> on my list of "someday quilts" ever since I saw Bonnie Hunter's baby quilt version - it used lots and lots of little squares to make 9-patches. Perfect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDM-i3QwonC2nptwMu1k5f2h0ub1562s8Bew4BEhrAIKMw-Hd0UXuJHluABu88Fy315kqu7xc9SdduhtQFfFFKVbeHhd9KOrggl3MLnoyyp-SfKaFuVHy4pvAlMMGcbVfYSTVmgA/s1600/d9p2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="919" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDM-i3QwonC2nptwMu1k5f2h0ub1562s8Bew4BEhrAIKMw-Hd0UXuJHluABu88Fy315kqu7xc9SdduhtQFfFFKVbeHhd9KOrggl3MLnoyyp-SfKaFuVHy4pvAlMMGcbVfYSTVmgA/s320/d9p2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only glitch in my plan was...Bonnie's pattern called for 2" squares and Bobbie's squares were all 2.5" - and, NO, I was not going to trim them all down! So, after a little handy quilt math, I finished up my slightly larger version of Dancing Nines!</div>

It's a little tough to see, but if you click to enlarge the photo, I quilted this quilt with an edge-to-edge pantograph called Music. It's an easy flowing design featuring intertwined treble and bass clefs.</div>

And this kinda unattractive-until-you-put-it-on-the-back, orange and lime print, batik became the backing for Dancing 9-Patch with a little of the leftover inner and outer borders to add to the length.</div>

It's been such a busy day today. First, I got up relatively early - after going to bed very late. I let the pups go outside, as usual, and then started thinking about what I needed to do today.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0KnbOf2rB4e8uzS75pbMSNPt_j0dwFFkG-KHwOdvSkBBMu_LRSDqDpXKyvxok-M9dar0LZL4TnuL-tsG7lAp5I5MI11T2n2IqTyoOPvfxx1xgzCEv_SKEbxUzp1Ro-otkYyIchA/s1600/57281897882__D8844706-96FC-43A1-952B-545549986362.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0KnbOf2rB4e8uzS75pbMSNPt_j0dwFFkG-KHwOdvSkBBMu_LRSDqDpXKyvxok-M9dar0LZL4TnuL-tsG7lAp5I5MI11T2n2IqTyoOPvfxx1xgzCEv_SKEbxUzp1Ro-otkYyIchA/s320/57281897882__D8844706-96FC-43A1-952B-545549986362.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>

<a href="http://kevinthequilter.blogspot.com/">Kevin the Quilter</a> asked me bring a trunk show of my quilts and speak to his Scrap Club about my process and thoughts behind "scrappy quilts" (what else?). Originally, he asked that I do this sometime in July or August, but, he had a last-minute presenter cancellation and called to ask if I would consider coming this week! Well....I started panicking because most of my quilts are folded and stored and I wasn't sure that a couple of days would be enough time to "get the wrinkles out" and make quilts presentable enough for an audience. I guess we'll see if my middle eastern carpet piling technique will do the trick!?!?!<br />

My friend Angela has also reminded me that I promised we would begin working on Lori Holt's "Cozy Christmas" quilt together beginning in March! So...I finished pulling and sorting my fabrics for that project. Since taking this photo, I have narrowed down the pink to the one on the bottom and have sorted several fabrics back into the cabinet to be used in another project, another day.</div>

Last night (and late into the wee morning hours) I began the handwork on my Selvage Spools quilt. It seems to take me forever to just tack down the hanging sleeve! It's a relief when I finally round the first corner on the binding - a finish is in sight - just one more corner to go this evening!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And finally, today, I quilted my Good Fortune quilt, added the sleeve and binding. It's all ready for it's turn at handwork tonight (right after Selvage Spools gets finished). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so excited to show my Dresden Quilt Workshop Challenge Quilt! I have been following along with <a href="http://suznquilts.wordpress.com/">Susan Marth'</a>s sew-along (on her blog, referring to her recent book) since the beginning. Admittedly, I fell behind a few time - life got in the way - but, her simple steps made it easy to catch back up! And now...finally...I have a finish!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0b-be9dy6SrU5uIXsK5ORPNoS8i5LtMc_YHlY1cZU6_r6lHpXs3UcqVsdqxOnZeHhWuj5QZ7mRpFpobC5-0hinEn2H_Gk08eO4ixUYh-fk3qqoCjYHr4JgU-5ptjGQTSlG-aUTg/s1600/DQWS1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="809" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0b-be9dy6SrU5uIXsK5ORPNoS8i5LtMc_YHlY1cZU6_r6lHpXs3UcqVsdqxOnZeHhWuj5QZ7mRpFpobC5-0hinEn2H_Gk08eO4ixUYh-fk3qqoCjYHr4JgU-5ptjGQTSlG-aUTg/s320/DQWS1.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
As we worked on this quilt, block by block, I couldn't wait to see it come together. I had a tough time, early on, deciding on color and fabric placement. It seemed a difficult task using a fabric collection with so few colors in comparison to Susan's original sample quilt. Using the coloring template and moving along one step at a time...I think it all came together quite nicely!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So often, I just can't resist a quilt along! But last year, as cute as the Splendid Sampler is...I really just didn't want to put the effort into the long-term, 100 block quilt. I just had too many other things I really wanted to do. Then came Splendid Sampler 2, and Judy, the co-manager of our local quilt shop asked me to make a display for a year long sew along (she asked me to make Splendid Sampler last year and I declined several times). This year, for some reason, I caved. And I'm glad I did.</div>

Speaking of quilting, I'm an edge-to-edge pantograph girl! I'm highly unlikely to do any custom quilting and only freemotion from the front of the machine on occasion. The bulkiness of some of these blocks posed a challenge for pantographing, but after just a bit of ripping back, I got it all quilted with a relatively dense design.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">It was amazing! I had been working on this Dresden Ohio quilt and then, Susan posted it as the block of the week for her Dresden Quilt Workshop Challenge! I had so much fun working on this quilt, and I'm having lots of fun working on the DQWC, too, even if I am lagging behind a bit!</span></div>

I started Dresden Ohio with a set of 3 kitted up fabrics (1 yd each) that were gifted to me by my friend, Vicki. Thanks Vicki!!! I only added 2 additional fabrics into the mix: the green-grey (star points) and the olive green that forms the Dresden centers.</div>

I even had enough fabric left over to make the backing (after I found another 1 yd cut of the smaller flower print in my stash). I just sliced a chunk off of the yard piece, inserted the strip of larger floral between the 2 pieces, and sewed is all back together. And in the end, I had just enough of that larger floral left to make a hanging sleeve!</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: x-small;">Today is my day to host the <i>Strip Quilt Secrets</i> blog hop and I'm so excited! If you've already got a copy of </span><a href="http://www.butterflythreadsquilting.com/" rel="noopener" style="color: #8a3207; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Diane Knott’s</a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: x-small;"> book <i>Scrap Quilt Secrets</i>, then you know she creates some really fun designs in bright, cheerful colors that use up lots of the scrappy stash! If you haven't been introduced to Diane's designs, then you're in for a real treat and I can't wait to show you how I decided to dive into <i>Strip Quilt Secrets...</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">I started with this...a scrap basket full of selvages! Can you believe I have 3 more baskets this full of selvages?!?! I've been collecting them to make Diane's Gift Baskets quilt (found in her book <i>Scrap Quilt Secrets</i>), but I should have known she would have a selvage pattern in this book, too! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">Paging through the book, I found the technique section titled "Piecing Alternatives" and it instantly captivated me. I decided to dig right in to my selvages and start working on Selvage Spools!</span><br />

Diane does not actually use the paper, She just sews selvage to selvage! I just did it to give myself a size guide to shoot for (and I like the stability it gives for strip piecing).</span></div>

<span style="color: #29303b; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">Diane points out great reasons to start collecting and using selvages, for example, all of the fun motifs - just look at </span><span style="color: #29303b; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">those cute little pies on Brenda Ratliff's fabric instead of 4 plain dots!</span><br />

<span style="color: #29303b; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">Well, I guess color dots can still be fun when they have as many different shades as the edge of this halloween fabric! Speaking of the selvage edge...I'm wondering how Diane dealt with the long, fringy bits. I decided to give some of my fabrics a bit of a haircut, while I left some "all nat-ur-al"!</span><br />

Then came the part I dreaded...mitered corners! In the hundreds of quilts I've made, I've only ever mitered corners twice (and the pattern I used didn't help teach me how to do it, so I never tried again)! </span><br />

Did you know that they mark where your needle pierces the fabric (green arrow), 1/4" behind the needle (pink arrow) and 1/4" in front of the needle (yellow arrow). These marks are a great help in knowing exactly where to stop for mitering these corners!</span></div>

I'm really loving working with this fabric line...I just wish there were more "color" fabrics. There must be just as many neutral fabrics as all of the red, blue and brown fabrics combined together.

Have you been participating in <a href="https://www.thesplendidsampler.com/">The Splendid Sampler 2 Sew Along</a>? Pat Sloan and friends have done it again...they came together to compile some of the cutest blocks, with the most techniques, to make the most adorable sampler quilt!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr-SE-bVmGxz2tNvt_FTtHrfHJIUro7ti9rBaIXMBodsXOXdB9DVRZ-AFScEc7CKy2xnlzuQ-35CZtdiJwcG_uwvrFJPMLmoftjVLihHKlXd3c1JwT5J_1w0ic71Wk8GQK9TsGtw/s1600/SS1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr-SE-bVmGxz2tNvt_FTtHrfHJIUro7ti9rBaIXMBodsXOXdB9DVRZ-AFScEc7CKy2xnlzuQ-35CZtdiJwcG_uwvrFJPMLmoftjVLihHKlXd3c1JwT5J_1w0ic71Wk8GQK9TsGtw/s320/SS1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I've been working on this quilt for about a month, now, and I've finally gotten all 100 of the blocks made. Over the next 5 days, I'll share photos of my blocks. Here are the first 20 for today!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJhBvRwnS3lLvEl9irwyxa8vtg1iMAGFhXPVWYh1BY-md2IY7w5b_mGCLbyVZLRjgYVuZyh7zqaY1dzAJ8gIPlEp3fk3zFlk00oTdGUfOmHZ8DV159smFRbeEYaHXS0oOLBkIsZg/s1600/SS2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJhBvRwnS3lLvEl9irwyxa8vtg1iMAGFhXPVWYh1BY-md2IY7w5b_mGCLbyVZLRjgYVuZyh7zqaY1dzAJ8gIPlEp3fk3zFlk00oTdGUfOmHZ8DV159smFRbeEYaHXS0oOLBkIsZg/s320/SS2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The Splendid Sampler 2 book is laid out by technique for the most part. The majority of the beginning blocks are all simply machine pieced (some with many, many more pieces than others)!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNV0F7JY5Bm7jIKQ0H81GrYf3bVrvyiSZPMnGYenAi_1AZfrfpdgMiYCwg_yFbZhTAjCMCfLICTwm5tV-PLWjCOeOpsif8KlpNzZP3vQy6tho0IDYcj2V0HccxwwddU1cZV5Uz3g/s1600/SS3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNV0F7JY5Bm7jIKQ0H81GrYf3bVrvyiSZPMnGYenAi_1AZfrfpdgMiYCwg_yFbZhTAjCMCfLICTwm5tV-PLWjCOeOpsif8KlpNzZP3vQy6tho0IDYcj2V0HccxwwddU1cZV5Uz3g/s320/SS3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
As the book goes on, more intricate designs are revealed like the faux cathedral window block below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's it for today. Come back tomorrow to see 20 more blocks! Now I'm off to start cutting the fabric strips for the sashings. I plan to set them using the A Splendid Quilt Setting, offered as a free pattern online <a href="http://www.thesplendidsampler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/SplendidSampler_Setting.pdf">HERE</a>.</div>

The challenge of this project, at this point, is going to be finding enough fabric to complete the larger blocks in the "chunks" left from the original FQs. Some of the remaining blocks will require more of a single fabric than I have left in several of the pieces. This may get interesting! I've noticed that some of the participants have started strategically cutting for upcoming blocks - I'm guessing that's because they are feeling the same way. Oh well! That's the challenge and the fun of following along! </div>

I love making these Mini Dresden blocks - almost double the size of the Tiny Dresdens with a smaller center opening in proportion, so there's plenty of wiggle room for the center circle to cover!<br />

I got right to work choosing fabrics for the Follow Me block. This week required 12 different fabrics, and those 12 fabrics will sit next to and touch several other fabrics - again, the FABRIC SELECTION CHALLENGE! It's only gonna get harder and more fun!</div>

Here's the design wall through week #12. Things are coming together and the colors seem balanced so far.

I'm continuing to make progress on <a href="http://www.suznquilts.wordpress.com/">Suzn Quilts</a>' Dresden Quilt Workshop Challenge. This week was another easy week...and...I guess I was feeling a little psychic!</div>

Here's what happened... Some time ago, Susan gave me her blessing to teach her techniques at Jackman's Fabrics, a local quilt shop. I had a class scheduled on Tuesday, and, when I teach, I need samples and step-outs demonstrating how to create those adorable Tiny Dresdens. I had a bundle of gifted fabrics that I was ready to use and I went looking for a pattern that would work with the limited amount of yardage I had - and Dresden Ohio was the perfect fit! So....I began the initial steps for the Dresden Ohio quilt...on Monday!</div>

Susan says these blocks are "fun and fast." Well, I can tell you, they were fun (once I had all of the fabrics picked out), but they were not fast (probably because I used HST scraps from other blocks and made them work)!<br />

I'm still struggling to choose fabrics for each block, hoping in the end that none of the prints or colors will end up right next to each other. So far, so good, but as we move along, I'm beginning to use up some of the FQs and know that next time there will be just a few less options to choose from. Yikes! I'm sure it will all work out in the end, but, what's a challenge without a challenge?!?!<br />

Last night, when I posted my week #9 finish on the Dresden Quilt Workshop Facebook page, I mentioned that I was off to work on week #10. Susan replied that it would be while she was sleeping and of course, she was right! I finished up these babies at around 3am this morning! Yep, she knows me!<br />

Since I did finish so late, I waited to blog about them until today (I did take the photos last night before I went to bed). And, just in case you were wondering, I did sleep in this morning, but I had to get up at 9am for the clock repairman! <span style="font-size: 14.85px;">💁</span></div>

These are Star Spangled Dresden blocks featuring one Tiny Dresden in each center. <br />

I'm really enjoying choosing the fabrics for each block, although I do find this the most difficult part of the entire challenge! The fabric line that I have chosen to use has many directional fabrics and in order to make this quilt, I have to be extra careful that those fabrics end up in the right direction!<br />

I don't mind if the stripes are set vertically or horizontally...as long as they're going the same direction in each block. Thank goodness for the few patterns that are not directional - they make it assembling blocks so much easier!<br />
