I love the contrast of white, pink and black fabrics. It’s always a great combination! The pattern is called “Stars for Audrey” if you want to add it to your quilts to make list!
The next thing I was excited about was that Lyn let me use bright pink thread for the quilting!
The back is white, showcasing the pink thread again! I love it!
Thanks! Linda:)
Fabric Selection! Yes, choosing fabrics for projects can take time and stall your progress! In the process of selecting fabrics for demonstrating my dish drying mats, I was stuck. I needed 2 coordinating fabrics but I had 3 that worked perfectly together. No problem! Make the dish mats with three fabrics!
Here’s a mini tutorial for making my dish mats with three fabrics.
1. Stack 3 trimmed fat quarters and cut as shown. I cut my borders at 4″ but you can use any measurement you want.
2. Shuffle the elements to make 3 dish mats.
3. Sew, assemble and quilt according to Linda’s Dish Mat Tutorial Revisited.
And you’re done! Ready to gift, which is what I did with these!
This technique would be great for place mats or even mug rugs! 
Here’s a mug rug I made using my dish mat revisited technique.
What have you made using this technique?
Thanks! 🙂 Linda
This weekend, Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop in Williamsburg, Iowa, hosted a quilt show on the farm. Rainbows and Calico Things is located on the family’s century farm, making it an ideal place to showcase local talent and enjoy Iowa’s beautiful August weather.
Here’s a quilt by Cindy that’s super scrappy and awesome! I don’t know what pattern she used but it looks like Bonnie Hunter’s Patches and Pinwheels.
How did Cindy make her quilt? Pinwheels and 16 patches? Four patches and half square triangles? Does anyone know the name of 2 four patch and 2 hst block?
Here’s a fun quilt featuring the blocks from the 2012 All Iowa Shop hop. The sashing is quilted with the town where they collected the block pattern. Pretty awesome! On a side note, the quilter is from Missouri!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
That depends! Here’s a chart from AllPeopeQuilt to help you figure out the dimensions for your bed quilt! Hope this helps!
Have fun! Linda 🙂
Congrats to Grandma Lisa! Here’s the baby quilt she made for her granddaughter, Reagan, born August 8!
The fabric is soft flannel, perfect for a baby to cuddle and have tummy time.
What I really liked about this quilt was that Lisa let me use Superior Threads Magnifico, Tangerine Flash! The thread is a great fluorescent orange, which does not photograph well, but trust me, it’s bright!
The quilting design is my favorite fun, freehand edge to edge, Swirl and Curl. It always looks great!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
