Another Trip Around the World

Another Trip Around the World

Here is a pattern that is fun and rewarding every time I make it. I love it so! This quilt kit was offered years ago by Craftsy, and the fabrics were coordinated by Myra Barnes at Busy Hands Quilts. The kit went on deep sale, and I snapped it up! It took me several years to pull out to piece, but it was an easy make because it was a one patch. More on one patch quilts HERE. Also, I have said it before, but my Accuquilt cutter made it a dream to go from fabric to pieces cut in a few hours with minimal waste.

It's time to pick up where I left off so here I am. I will tell you I sit down with the intention to write a beautiful post, and after taking care of other humdrum computer business I think, "Oh, it will wait until tomorrow." Well, it's tomorrow. 

Chain Piecing & Webbing Class Available

Trips Around the World

By the end of last week I had several quilts finished, and more pulled out to resume. There has been a good deal of pushing this year to finish up the old, but I've also dropped a few new projects into the line up when I could. I had The Sewing Group coming to the studio Monday for a class on my unique method of chain piecing to webbing to accurate block construction, and we were using the Trips Around the World quilt to learn the process. Many of these quilters had never made a TAtW so we had a lot of ground to cover in a short time.

So Close to the End of this Love Affair

I adored this fabric when I first saw it so I bought enough. I purchased 1/2 to 1 yard of most fabrics in the line knowing there would be enough for twin baby quilts last summer. (Seriously, how well do you estimate yardage when you're not sure what you're doing with it?)

I've made this quilt pattern more than any other. You might even say I have a thing for it. One patch quilts are very similar in design and creation, and I love finding new variations on both.
