  • Creating a Throw Pillow Case Out of Extra Turquoise and Grey Scrap Quilt Blocks

    May 27, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! In last week’s post about the turquoise and grey scrap quilt I was making, I mentioned I had one block left over from sewing the quilt top. Prior to working on the quilt, I decided that if I had any extra quilt blocks, I would turn them into throw pillow covers. Since I had one extra block for this quilt, I decided it would be be perfect to incorporate into a throw pillow cover!

  • The Turquoise and Grey Scrap Quilt- Plans for the Blocks

    May 6, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! While working on my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt, I began to realize I was getting too annoyed and frustrated about quilting it. In order to reset my brain (And to make me feel better about my sewing abilities) I began to take all the scrap fabric from making the top and began to sew a scrap quilt out of it. I decided to make it the same way as the navy and yellow scrap quilt. For that quilt, which I talked about here on this blog in posts here, here, and here, I cut the remaining fabric from creating the log cabin block design and made…

    Hi everyone! This is the last post of my Space Scrap Quilt featuring old progress photographs! Just as a reminder, the quilt top is complete, but it still needs to be quilted and sew a binding to it. I will talk more about that in my next quilt post. For this post, I want to show what the blocks looked like at their full size.

    April 20, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! I wanted to share some old progress photographs of my space scrap quilt! As of this post, I have finished the top of the quilt, but still need to quilt it and bind the edges. Then it will be done! Anyway, I still have some old progress photographs I never shared on this blog. So, I decided to share some of them in this post. There will be another post after this one with old progress photographs before I talk about the finished quilt top.

    Hi everyone! It’s time for a progress post about the space quilt I made earlier this year! As of this post, I finished the top of the quilt, but have yet to quilt and bind the edges. Because I finished the quilt top, I wanted to talk in hindsight about the progress I made while sewing it. In this post, I want to focus on talking about the cutting and sewing of the cut fabric squares and rectangles.
