I realized I had begun a Pinterest board  a few years ago that featured a few dozen of my charity quilt finishes. I checked it out the other day and then I added a few more dozen and still have some catching up to do! Currently there are 70 quilts sewn and donated with another 2+ dozen to go. These range from 2018 - 2023. Retired workshop sample = happy child's quilt! Remember, I have sewn for a living for 30 years. I'm swimming in fabric and several fabric companies have been very generous to me during that time. I belong to a local quilt guild that makes it very easy on me. For example, this next quilt uses last season's Merry and Mod Collection by Windham Fabrics. Arrowheads class sample with fun letters border print: 40" x 40" How does my quilt guild make it easy?

It's a workshop I teach from time to time. 1930s Double Wedding Ring: 44" x 56" I like to show how I simplified joining the blocks. I split that center 4-pointed curved background unit into four pieces. Here is what I mean by the 4-pointed curved unit. I took a vintage, 1930s quilt apart and I have plans! 8 pieced, curved arcs with single, center unit Here is what I mean by splitting the center: You honestly can't see the vertical and horizontal seams after the quilting. I wouldn't care, anyway! I've made two small table toppers with pieced center and curved outer edges. I paper pieced the arcs. I...

This is short and sweet, but I wanted to share that I have an English Paper Piecing Pinterest Board that has a lot of other blocks and quilts to inspire you! Little Jeweled Hearts  And a few other ways to put them together: And the steps for making these hearts: Two jewels become one heart! And I have several projects made using my GFG blocks. This one uses hexagons for the background and triangles to set them together. No pattern for it yet, but isn't she sweet? Hexagon backgrounds for my Grandmother's Flower Garden quil t Visit my English Paper Piecing Pinterest Board to see dozens more (well, over a hundred!) And I'll see you tomorrow for Log Cabin Week (there; now you know!)
