Quilts using striped fabric

It’s no mystery that I love striped fabric! I mean, the design possibilities are endless. Just this week, I found yet another use for my beloved stripes, and I’m excited to share!I made some striped “woven” diamond blocks as fill-in blocks for a quilt, and they turned out so well that I am already working on them in a few more sizes.Here is what you will need to make a mirror image set of these blocks. I cut two strips from my striped fabric, one 6½” wide and the other 4⅝” wide. I kept the…

Looking for scrappy strip quilt patterns? Here ya go! The first question would be - got scraps?! I bet you do!

It's been awhile since I've made an Ernie Quilt and it's one of my favorite patterns because I just love making quilts with 2.5" strips. I've had the Kaffe Fassett Shot Cotton and Woven Stripes strips die-cut and ready to sew since last year and finally had the opportunity to make this quilt since buying my new, sweet, very portable Juki HZL-70 HWA sewing machine which meant I am now able to sew in the kitchen while watching TV, a cause for much of my quilting downtime. I posted several…

When I first saw Emily Dennis’ Happy Stripes pattern, I knew I had to purchase it because it was a great stash buster pattern for 2.5” strips. If you seen my other quilts, you know that I love this combination. The fabric in my Happy Stripes quilt might look familiar since I just finished in April my Carrie Bloomston Unruly Patchwork Throw. A little bit of happenstance with the making of the Happy Stripes quilt which made me wonder if I really have a Fairy Quilt Godmother in my studio. After…

This is a cute baby-size quilt designed by Emily Dennis of Quilty Love and made in Thimble Blossoms' "Nantucket Summer" low volumes and mid-blue feature fabric. Love these low volumes.

Last month at one of my quilt groups we had a guest speaker who represents Festival of Trees. She was there to talk about the quilts that are auctioned off to raise money for Primary Children's Hospital. Besides those fancy quilts, she also spoke of quilts that are priced and for sale in their shop at the show. Last year I had a few girls help me tie some small doll quilts which were sold {tutorial found here}.
