As You Wish - a pattern story

One of my latest patterns features a curvy star design. It is a favorite of mine and I have been playing with this star for a while in different sizes even mini.

But what brought it all together and completely changed the design was the addition of a ribbon block.

This ribbon can be used to convey a subtle message. It’s color representing a cause dear to the heart of the quilt

maker and possibly the recipient. Alternately the ribbon can be signed for a unique signature quilt/ just ...

Here are the light and dark versions during my backyard photo shoot ! What a difference color will make!

Let me know which one you like better 😊

I’m looking forward to teaching this quilt as a worshop this summer.

Notion Commotion Blog Hop - Bias Binding Simplified Ruler

Good Morning - Today its our turn to blog about a Notion discovered at Quilt Market. My special featured tool is a ruler: Bias Binding Simplified, designed by Janice Pope for Creative Grids . I can’t wait to show it to my students since it makes bias binding so easy . Best of all, the ruler has all the instructions printed right on it, so there is never a question on how to use it. It is 21” long on it’s longest side and has a 45° angle on one side, it is 2½” wide with an added 2¼” line for cutting binding in two sizes. Why even worry about Bias Binding? - Bias Binding is much stronger than straight-of-grain binding and absolutely essential to bind quilts with rounded corners or curvy edges. Bias binding will smooth out around curves and make the binding lay flat and pucker free. Once you use bias binding you will want to use it for most of your quilts - I definitely do, even for small quilts and table runners. Here is another fun use for the ruler
