Photographs of the Finished Fall Quilt
Hi everyone! Well, I finally finished the binding on the fall quilt. Now that it is done, I wanted to show off the finished version of the quilt… After thinking about this quilt, I decided to turn it into a wall hanging decoration instead of a throw quilt. Despite this, I am going to wait a while before I create a way to hang the quilt on the wall. I’m currently thinking of different ways, but I would like to take my time to research and decide how I would like to hang it on the wall. Also, I just want to rest after making the quilt. It took a…

Fall Quilt Update- Quilting on the Fall Quilt Is Finally Finished!
Hi everyone! I have some happy news! I finally finished quilting the fall quilt! Here’s a photograph of the finished quilt… I’m very happy with the way the quilt came out, but there are some spots I wanted to go back and work on quilting some more. I thought they would look better if I quilted them, but after trying to quilt them, I didn’t like the way they looked. After taking a few days rest, I looked at the quilt and decided I didn’t need to quilt them after all. So, the quilting is now finished! All I need to work on is the binding. I plan on making…

Sewing the English Paper Piecing Onto the Fall Quilt Corners & More
Hi everyone! After I finished working on the English paper piecing applique, I took a long period of time off working on the quilt to focus on other things that required more attention than the quilt. After a month or so of not working on the quilt, I finally had the chance sat down and began to finish the quilt. Before I worked on anything else on the quilt, I needed to sew the English paper piecing applique onto the corners. I started by taking the paper out and pinning the loose edges down. I didn’t want to iron the fabric because I was afraid ironing the applique would make…

English Paper Piecing Border Corner Details for the Fall Quilt
After sewing the borders to the quilt panel, I focused on picking an English paper piecing design and the fabric to make it out of. I thought very hard about what kind of quilt block I wanted to use. After finally hitting a mental road bock, I decided to do a search on Google for quilt blocks. I found a few that I liked, so I saved them, printed them off, and looked at the printed versions in order to make a final decision. After some thought, I picked this quilt block…

Sewing Progress for August 2021- Planned, Work in Progress, and Finished Projects
It’s already the end of September and, even though I wrote this post in August, I was on a break from blogging until September. Since my last sewing progress post in July, I finished some of my sewing projects, began (or continued work on) two others, and am currently making plans for new projects. I’m very excited about these projects, so I decided to make a new sewing progress post. I don’t have photographs to show off any of my sewing projects, but I will be posting photographs and taking more about them in future posts.

English Paper Piecing- What is It and Why I Love It
Over ten years ago, I learned about English paper piecing. Although it was a sewing technique that I studied as much as I could, there wasn’t much information available on it. Today, there is more information available for someone who is curious about it, but it’s still not very well known in all quilting communities. Because of this, I wanted to talk about it and why I love it so much.
