Shadow Box Quilt Free Tutorial! A lot of my quilting buddies wanted to know how this was made, and since it's such an easy quilt, I decided to share it as a free tutorial! You'll need to decide what color you want to use for your shadows and border, and what color you want to use for your background. (I chose black shadows and a white background.) From your background fabric, cut: 48 squares 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 5 squares 2" x 2" 28 strips 2" x 9-1/2" 30 strips 2" x 11" From your shadow fabric, cut: 24 strips 1-1/2" x 7-1/2" 24 strips 1-1/2" x 8-1/2" (Outside border is cut 4-1/2" wide on my quilt.) Next, cut 24 squares from all different fabrics @ 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" Now you'll sew one of your small white squares to your 7-1/2" long shadow strip for the bottom of each square: Next you'll sew one of your small white squares to your 8-1/2" shadow strip for the side of the square: Sew the bottom strip to the scrappy square, and then the side. It will look like this: Now you'll add your sashing parts. First, to the bottom of the square above, you will add one of your 2" x 9-1/2" strips of background fabric. Then to the left side of the square you will add one of your 2" x 11" strips of background fabric. Sew 4 blocks together per row, and finish the row with a final 2" x 11" strip of background. Make 6 rows like that, and sew them together, adding a final set of 9-1/2" background strips with 2" squares of background fabric to your top row, and then your outter border, so that it looks like this: Your finished quilt will be about 51-1/2" x 72-1/2" Happy Quilting! Jean MaDan Another great quilt by Candace Wragg, using my tutorial. Terrific job, as usual! This one is made by Gloria Hooker. Wonderful! Love that red!! Loretta Webre made hers in shades of blue, and one block wider. Loretta said: I'd like to tell you a little about why I made this quilt for my Godmother. You see, my mother died when I was 9, and I have always been very close to my Godmother, my mother's sister, as she was always there for me. I really consider her my 2nd mother, and don't believe I would be the woman I am today, were it not for her love and guidance. Her favorite color is blue, and she celebrated her 75th birthday on the 6th of Sept. I wanted to make the quilt for her as soon as I found your pattern, but Hurricane Isaac intervened and really messed up my plans. I had a house full of people, who could not get home due to flooding, no power for 6 days, and no running water. A very stressful time, to say the least. Making this quilt was great therapy. I delivered it to my Aunt yesterday and she and my Uncle absolutely loved the quilt. She asked about the pattern, and I explained how I saw it on your blog. I named the quilt Out of the Blues. I think I'll make another one using LSU purple and gold, with tiger faces as the main blocks. Thank you, again. Loretta Ellen Boisvert sent me this brilliant adaptation of the idea she did, using panels. I thought mitering the corners of the shadows was pretty cool looking, don't you??

Hello again! I can't believe it's been a week since I've posted! My summer is still in full swing around here and time gets away from me too fast. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer as much as I am. Today I wanted to show you the project that I took along with me on my camping trip. My project was inspired by a photo that I saw on Pinterest.... using 5" squares that are sewn together and then adding crochet. You know that I love to add crochet edgings on several of my fabric patterns so when I saw the photo...I was inspired and started immediately! I just kind of made up my blanket as I went along but I have now discovered that there is a tutorial by Corey@Little Miss Shabby and a flickr group and it's a crochet along as well! It's called the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along. Fabric/Crochet fused together = fun!!! I love the fact that I have been able to use up even more of my precut leftovers from Sew Cherry, Daisy Cottage and Millie's Closet. I chose to use "I Love This Cotton" yarn in 68 Aqua that I bought at Hobby Lobby. It's so soft and the color is yummy and goes with all of my fabrics...and is 100% cotton which is a big plus for me. I like to work with natural fibers as much as possible. I have several squares completed so far... they really work up fast. I did a single crochet into each buttonhole stitch and then a double crochet into each single crochet and that's all! Easy peasy. *Take note that on the corners...I did 3 stitches instead of one:) I love the scrappiness of my blanket... I put some of the squares up on my design wall together to see how they will look when I crochet them together. I will just use a single crochet stitch when joining them and I think I will leave the holes in the intersections...I like how it adds a lacy kind of look. Of course I will make the final decision on that when I join them all together:) I know that today is Tuesday... and week 5 of The Great Granny Along!!! I don't have anything new to show you yet...but Jodi has some new blocks...so go over and see them! All of the beautiful blocks and quilts that are showing up on the flickr group are just amazing!!! It's been so fun to see all of them over the last 5 weeks:) Next post...I will be showing you a sneak peek of my up coming fabric line. Until then...have a quilty kind of day:) xx Lori

If you're looking to learn how to make a t-shirt quilt easy, you've come to the right place. We'll guide you through the process of how to make a t-shirt quilt DIY for beginners. Or, let us make your quilt for you - you won't regret letting us take the wheel!
In 2016 and 2017 I sewed two 45x60 inch Christmas quilts! I love pulling them out each year and wanted to share more photos and details here in case they may inspire your own quilting this season. My 2016 quilt...
I showed you a companion quilt to this one a while back. I finally was able to take a photo of this one for you. The difference between them is I took everything that included gold and fall colors and used them in this one. The other quilt uses blues, purples, reds etc. This quilt is just slightly smaller than the other. This one is called Amish Shadows 2. It is 46 x 56 inches. It is impressive hung on a wall. By using so many different colors in a quilt it makes it adaptable to any decor, much like a fine painting. In case you missed Amish Shadows 1 I'm sharing it again. It is 49 x 79 inches. The blocks in each quilt are exactly the same size. It also is spectacular hung in any decor. These quilts are also very appropriate in dimly lit areas as they glow from within. My color choices are what makes this work, much like antique Amish quilts. I LOVE this design and you will see more of them soon. I'm also sharing Amish Shadows 2 as my puzzle tonight. I haven't posted a puzzle with each and every quilt recently. I miss doing the puzzles and hope to incude one with each post.
