Nancy’s Ocean Waves is a multi-color, multi-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. There is a row of half blocks around the center section of the quilt. The quilt measures 96 x 96 inches with the 12 inch border. I started out with a red and purple color scheme and ended up with a blue and green color scheme because of the lighthouse applique I wanted to use in the border on my version. (The lighthouse doesn’t look as nice on the red border.) The blue-and-green-only color scheme fell flat so I added in a deep red and some purples for contrast and sparkle. If you don’t want to use as many different fabrics as I have in mind for my quilt, print more Half Square Triangles for each of the fabrics you plan to use.
This quilt design uses an “X” layout — top left corner looks like an X — for the Ocean Waves blocks. It is a less common layout for this quilt. There is a printing chart for the more traditional “O” layout — top left corner looks like an O — in this post.
There is a gallery slideshow at the bottom of this post with colorway variations.
This design uses the Inklingo HST 00B, the Inklingo Square 00B and the Inklingo Circles Collections. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Yes, another nautical-themed quilt. Sometimes looking for a married woman’s maiden name feels a bit like looking out over the horizon on the ocean with no land in sight. Just an endless sea. I have a list of female names in my tree with no last names. Nancy sits in the middle of the list. She is (most likely) Ellen (Burton) Pollitt’s mother and my 5x great grandmother. This one is for Nancy and all the others whose last names are unknown.

Sewing Half Square Triangle Units with Inklingo:
===
Leona – Lady of the Lake is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 76 x 76 inches. This is an easy quilt with only 2 fabrics and 1 shape—Half Square Triangles!
This design uses the Inklingo HST 00B Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana and Stonehenge by Northcott.
Another quilt with no real ancestor story. Leona Maude George was a second cousin in my paternal grandmother’s mother’s line. [Got that?] Her parents were both Georges. I am sure there is a story there but I haven’t done any research on it since it is a collateral line. I’m focused on direct lines only until I get everything re-entered in my genealogy software. I just liked Leona’s name for this quilt out of all the female L names.

Helen’s Sugar Bowl is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 72 x 72 inches. This block is known as “Pin Cushion” but EQ7 calls a 2 x 2 version “Sugar Bowl.”
This design uses the either one of the Inklingo Orange Peel Collections. I provided cutting and printing information for the Orange Peel Deluxe Collection as that is the one I have. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Helen [McEvoy] Duthie is my maternal grandmother. She was born in 1909 in New Brunswick, Canada. She lived in and around the area known now as Miramichi. She married Lawrence Duthie in 1935. They had 5 children–my mom is the oldest. The house that my grandparents lived in had no central heating or indoor plumbing. I guess grandpa never thought it was important… There were chamber pots under all the beds and I think the water pump was in the kitchen or a back porch/mud room area. [I should ask my mom.] Grandma cooked on a wood burning stove. My grandma was a strong woman. When my grandmother passed away in 1979, my mom inherited a set of grandma’s dishes. My daughter-in-law has them today–including Helen’s sugar bowl.

Sewing Curves Without Pins
This is how I sew curves. (I dislike pinning!) I use a 3M Command Strip pasted along the side of my presser foot to help as a guide also. You need to be sure to use your 1/4″ presser foot if you are going to use a Command Strip as a guide. When I am done sewing curves, the Command Strip removes easily from my machine bed.
