After my cutting fabric post, I’ve decided to take the plunge and start working on a Postage Stamp Quilt. The Curious Quilter has a February Mini-Challenge to get you started! I’m in the Chain Gang group! What group would you be in?
My ultimate goal is to get my leftover fabric cut into usable sizes: 10″, 5″, 2 1/2″, 2″ and 1 1/2″, and then of course make a quilt with them!
Want to join the fun?!

With all the babies in my family, I love finding sewing projects for them! Here’s a cute bib/apron = bapron idea from Craftiness is not Optional. Great use for those fun fat quarters!
Not that I need another project but the babies need cute bibs, right?!
Have fun and just keep stitchin’

I’m demonstrating the Twister Tool at quilt guild later this year and I decided to use some of my bright scraps for the 5″ squares. In the process of cutting those, I’m also cutting the remnants into 2 1/2″, 2″ and 1 1/2″ squares. Not sure what I’m going to do with those but at least they are in a cut state and not bunched up in my laundry hampers of remnant fabrics!
My first thought is to use the 2 1/2″ or 2″ squares to make a Postage Stamp quilt. And not that I’d need a tutorial, I still find myself looking for them on other sites. Here’s a good link from The Curious Quilter. I can see that I have a long way to go to have enough squares for a quilt! And a true Postage Stamp quilt doesn’t have any repeats. Maybe I’ll have to join a swap to accomplish that!
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’

Just finished sewing the table runner kit! It’s now in the “to be quilted” category. I’m planning to add it to the end of another longarm quilting project. So…..as soon as I can complete one of my own quilts, it has a chance to be completed!!

Barbara at Rainbows and Calico Things Quilt Shop used the Melrose fabric by Red Rooster for a shop sample. Here’s the quilt that I made with the same fabric – Bryana + Sam .
The quilting design is a freehand E2E called Overlapped Looped Spirals.
The spiral adds great texture to the squareness of the quilt and mimics the focus fabric elements.
Check out Rainbows and Calico Things for Melrose Five and Dime kits to complete this quilt.
Come to the Williamsburg area February 18 or 19 for the I-80 Quilter’s Shopping Spree at the Little Amana Clarion Inn. Lots of vendors under one roof!
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’!
