Another quilt plan

Published 13 December 2014

Scrap Baskets EQ7 design

This is another scrappy project I have been printing shapes for. This project uses the Inklingo 3 inch Basket Collection. There are 360 basket blocks in my design. This is the third project I want to work on in 2015. (If you have been keeping track of my new starts. Hahaha) There is one more—the Ocean Waves quilt seen here. I have changed the color scheme on that one and am almost finished drawing the applique border. I’ll share details about it later.

Inklingo 3″ Basket Collection

The background shapes are printed on scraps approximately 8 x 12 or smaller. Printing Combo1 on an 8.25 x 11.75 piece of fabric gives me 6 sets of background shapes. On a smaller piece of fabric, I just print as many background sets as I can. I have about 250 background sets printed so far.

The basket shapes will be printed with my stash of Stonehenge and Marblehead fabrics. I have more than 60 different ones and I am always adding to them. If I print Combo6 on a 6 x 11.75 inch piece of fabric, I will have 6 sets of basket shapes to mix and match with my scrappy backgrounds. I am going to machine piece the blocks.

There is a basket combo set [Combo7] in the 3 inch Basket Collection that includes a back-basted heart applique. I am thinking of doing 20 or 40 blocks with the heart applique.

I brought a half dozen of these with me to work on. After setting off the smoke detector while pressing other blocks with the only iron I could find here, I decided not to work on anything that would need pressing during the sewing process. (Too scary!) That included my way of prepping the handle shape for appliqueing so I set the basket blocks aside until I get home. I’ll post a few of the finished blocks then.

Thea’s Jewel

Published 12 December 2014

Thea’s Jewel is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 81 x 81 inches. This quilt uses two different 9 inch blocks. One is the versatile 54/40 Block (Electric Quilt calls this block Garden Party) and the Tiramisu Block found in EQ7. The 54/40 Block can be paired with different blocks for many variations.

This design uses the Inklingo 9” Storm at Sea Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana, Stonehenge Bejeweled and Artisan Spirit Shimmer all by Northcott.

Thea (short for Arimathea) is due on 14 February 2015 but will be arriving sometime before that date. She will be the newest member in my immediate family. I am making a smaller version of this quilt for her.

Stella’s Star

Published 11 December 2014

Stella’s Star is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt in an on-point setting. It measures approximately 70 x 70 inches. This quilt uses two different 10 inch blocks. When they are set on point it is hard to tell where one block ends and the other begins. I like that it has almost a plaid look to it.

This design uses the Inklingo Half Square Triangle [HST] 00B and Inklingo Quarter Square Triangle [QST] 00B Collections. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.

Stella F Williamson is my great aunt. She was born in July 1872 in Rochester, New York. I don’t know much about her other than she is the oldest child of Georgianna (DeLong) Williamson, was married twice and had a least one child. I like the name Stella so that is why I chose to feature her.
