  • The Navy and Yellow Scrap Quilt- The Basis Blocks and Why I’m Making Another Quilt

    March 11, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Some time ago, I wrote a series of posts about how I made a navy and yellow log cabin quilt. After the quilt was finished, I had fabric left over. I’m trying to not throw away as much cotton fabric as possible, so I decided to make a scrap quilt using the leftover pieces of fabric.

  • Flora from Mansfield Park Table Runner Kit by Riley Blake Designs

    February 25, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I showed my Mansfield Park Gate Quilt Kit by Riley Blake Designs. In addition to the quilt kit, I also purchased the Mansfield Park Table Runner Kit. It is also by Riley Blake Designs and is part of their Jane Austen at Home collection. I liked this kit, it’s design, and the fabric designs, so I decided to purchase it. I think out of all the kits I own in the Jane Austen collection, this one is my favorite. I like the flower pattern. I fully intended to publish this post in which I talk about this kit earlier this month, but I didn’t. So,…

  • Romantic Scrappy Block Quilt- The Fabric and Cutting Out the Pieces

    November 7, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! A few months ago, I decided to buy fabric from Walmart to make myself new quilts. I had my eye on certain fabric colors and designs as well as fat quarter bundles. After taking them home, I decided to start sewing the quilts. Sadly, my life became very busy very quickly. So, I set them aside to focus on more important matters. While searching through my blog post drafts, I found the photographs of the progress I made making one of the quilts. I called the quilt the Romantic Scrappy Block Quilt due to the fabric colors and designs as well as the design I want to make…

  • The Navy and Yellow Log Cabin Quilt- The Completed Quilt

    October 7, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! After a bad month of setbacks and other problems, I finally have some time to write the last post about my navy and yellow log cabin quilt! Months ago, I finished quilting and binding the quilt. As of this post the turquoise and grey quilt still needs to be quilted, so I won’t be able to talk about this quilt’s sister in a post for a while.

  • The Navy and Yellow Log Cabin Quilt- Changing One of The Fabrics and How It Looks Now

    August 6, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! It’s been a month or so since I published a post about the navy and yellow log cabin quilt. Between the last post I made and this post, I haven’t been able to finish the turquoise and grey log cabin quilt. Even though the turquoise and grey quilt is not done, the navy and yellow quilt is! In this post, I wanted to talk about my decision to change one of the navy fabrics in my quilt and how it turned out.   EDIT: I used two different watermarks in these photographs. One is for this blog, essieofwho.com, while the other one has the watermark I use for…

  • The Navy and Yellow Log Cabin Quilt- The Cut Strips and Block Sewing Progress

    July 9, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! It’s time to talk about a new quilt! Earlier this year, I began to work on another log cabin quilt using navy (Or blue depending on the fabric) and yellow fabric. I talked about this fabric in a previous post here. As of the publishing of this post, the blocks are finished, the quilting is finished, and the binding is finished. Like with my Turquoise and Grey quilt, I was worried about problems I would run into while making it. Unlike the Turquoise and Grey quilt, the Navy and Yellow quilt had a major problem. Explaining what happened and how I fixed it will take some time to…

  • The Patriotic Scrappy Quilt- The Fabric Choices

    July 4, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! The 4th of July is tomorrow! I’m excited to have a day off work. I’m also planning on eating steak and watching fireworks. This year, I planned on making a patriotic quilt. I bought the fabric and had a plan for it, but I didn’t move forward with it. Now that it’s the 4th of July, I’m a little disappointed I didn’t start on my quilt and can use it in my decor this year. Even though I’m disappointed, I wanted to share my plans in a post before I move forward with making the quilt.
