Needed a small break to do something fast and simple.

Also, my pillowcases were getting boring LOL

Just plain metallic christmas fabric left over from christmas that I decided to quilt diamonds on and make into envelope style pillowcases.

I like envelope pillowcases best because then the pillow can’t just slide out lol

Used silver thread and you can’t even see it against the design.

They are not perfect, but I whipped them out for myself, they’re good enough.

Finished mini for Quilt Market: This weekend is spring Quilt Market in St. Louis. I’m not there, but I have a mini quilt that is!

Here is the finished mini I made for Christopher Thompson, a.k.a. the Tattooed Quilter for his booth at market. He is coming out with a fabric line with Riley Blake called “Blue Carolina,” and this project was made in the soilds that coordinate with his line.

Quilty details:

* 15″ square finished size

* Block is my own original foundation paper pieced design

* Made from Riley Blake “Confetti Cottons”

* Straight line quilted with pale pink 40-wt Aurifil thread

* Skinny 1/4 inch single-fold binding to finish (and added one of my corner labels, that I printed from Spoonflower!) 

I had a lot of fun designing and making this mini quilt. I will share some more about the design process and the quilt block later!

Thanks for having me participate, Christopher! 

Linking up with Finish it up Friday.

A while back, I started making hourglass blocks from 10″ and 5″ squares, and then creating blocks by putting them together with some 2.5″ strips. 

I have been working on this project here and there - it’s the sort of project that I find relaxing because I don’t have to think about it (”don’t think, just sew!”) But there came a time where I decided I should start to consider how it will all go together.

So, I took out my trusty “design wall” (a.k.a., a piece of batting that I hang up) and started to lay some blocks out randomly. I want to make this into a queen sized quilt, so I also was able to figure out how I need to lay out the blocks to get the desired size. I’ve got about half of the blocks I need at this point (but I’ve got many more hourglass blocks already pieced that just need to be joined).

I’m kind of liking the overall look. It’s a bit frenetic, but I don’t mind. I have been thinking of this project as a “simple” one - because it’s made of straightforward, simple blocks - but I think it has a bit of complexity when the blocks are all coming together! I’m looking forward to spending a nice weekend day on this and starting to piece it together.

(If you want to try some hourglass blocks, I’ve got a tutorial over here!)

Hourglass project: Last year, I started a project using hourglass blocks. I cut a bunch of my solid fabrics into 5″ and 10″ squares and 2.5″ strips. I paired up colours of squares to make hourglass blocks, which end up at 8.5″ and 4.5″ finished. 

This weekend, I was playing around with the blocks and decided to piece some together, along with a 2.5″ strip to the side of each of the larger hourglass blocks. I ended up making 12 of these rectangular blocks. When arranging them on the floor, I felt rotating them gave a fun, random look.

Each of the rectangular blocks will end up at 12″ x  10.5″ finished (so right now before piecing the rectangles together, they are 12.5″ x 11″). I think I’ll just keep going, since I have quite a lot more left that I cut back in October. I’m sort of in the mood for something that I don’t have to think too much about and that I can work on little by little - so this seems like a nice project for me right now!
