Come join me for a fun Mystery Quilt Along

Come Along - join me for my

FREE Mystery Quilt Along


Play along and have some fun - please join my FREE Mystery Quilt Along

I never really imagined I would host one Quilt Along, let alone two, but since many of you asked for another one I thought why not. 
So many of us are staying at home practicing social distancing.  We can't have classes physically, but we can still come together electronically and do some of the things we love to do. We are all in this together and my hope is that this will keep us connected and pass the time in a meaningful way. 

Maybe you just finished my first-ever Quilt Along - Spinning Wheels and have some scrappy 2½" squares left, or you have leftover pre-cuts you can cut into 2½" squares.  

Did you know you can use 2½" pre-cut strips, 5" charms, or 10" squares to make your scrappy little gem squares? - I call them gems - not sure if it is the official word for 2½" squares, but they seem like little gems to me.

You can get 16 of these little gems from one 2½" pre-cut strip, 4 from a 5" charm square, or another 16 from a 10" square.  You will need 12 gems for each block and that is all I will reveal today.  The blocks are still a secret, that is just part of the fun.

Let me explain how this works:

Tomorrow, April 1st, 2020 at 10:00am I will introduce the Mystery Quilt Along on Facebook live. This time I will live stream from my Facebook business page, so more people can see the videos live.  Please jump over to my Facebook business page. 

The same day I will publish the full cutting instructions for the Mystery Quilt Along.

This Quilt Along is a little more spaced out - partly to give everyone time to catch up and also to give me a little more time to post and prepare.

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
