Toy Sewing Machine quilt

 I told you a couple of weeks ago that I was working on Lori Holt's "toy sewing machine" quilt.  I thought there were only 25 blocks, but there are 30! I'm currently sewing the extra 5 and have 3 more to go.

There will be scrappy background sashing between the rows, with cornerstones between them, and a border. 

I'm so excited to finish up this quilt, I think it's really cute!

Here's a little tease of my Strawberry Jam quilt that I'll be able to show you soon! 🍓🍓🍓

Thanks for following me, see you next week!

Strawberry Jam quilt

 I've had quite a bit of sewing time lately and have been working on a few quilts.  This one is called Strawberry Jam by A Crafty Fox.

I used 12 fat quarters for the strawberries and many more for all of the 2 1/2" squares in red. It really helped to have a design board to lay the blocks on, step back and make sure the color values were correct.

Again, the design wall really helped!


I really love all the low volume fabrics that I pulled from my stash.


I cut out every single square, lol! I pinned the squares at the seams with fine little schoolhouse pins.


I had quite a few low volume squares left, but I know I can use them in other projects.


These are some extra red squares that I had, I used the rest in the quilt.


This quilt is an organized scrappy one, it definitely looks like strawberry jam!


These are my leftover pieces of low volumes and I can always use low volume fabric! My quilt is at my long arm quilters now, I'll show it to you when I get it back and bound. ❤️


See you next week!
