Political Pattern Play

After adding a new mini quilt pattern to my FREE political pattern bundle today I decided to do a quilt layout mock up with all the patterns in one quilt, just for fun!

I added this cute patchwork flag block which is made with just 40 scrappy squares:

It was really fun playing around with this and seeing that they can all actually be used in one quilt!

Here are a couple of variations:
 

I love the simple red, white and blue!

FREE Faux Improv Lettering Mini Quilt Pattern

I am releasing another FREE political pattern!

Do you love the improv pieced lettering style but are too scared to try it?

Then this pattern is for you! The block is FPP not improv!

I wanted this to look like a rushed political sign someone whipped up in preparation for a protest rally!

Peaceful protest is necessary! Protest, protest, protest!

Civilized nations should never start wars. Diplomacy is the way to help the Iranian people.

The lives of Iranian school girls matter. The lives of every person in the middle east matter.

America is heading to the mid terms with warmongers at the helm and must vote them out!

Basting and quilting!

This week I chose a whiskey print from my stash to back my postage stamp tumbler quilt  I needed to join two pieces to make it a wide enough quilt back, but I didn't want half bottles so I aligned the bottles, glued and pinned the fabric in place:

Then I topstitched the seem so I could keep an eye on the bottles to ensure they stayed aligned. It turned out great!

Then I got to work spray basting it: 

And quilting it with a simple meandering FMQ. 

After it was finished I washed it and then hung it on the line for a few hours before popping it in the dryer for the final fluff up to make it nice and crinkly.

This will be great to snuggle up under this winter.

Quilt Finish!

This week I finally basted, quilted and bound my 2024 EPP Scrap Satisfaction hexagon quilt.

The hexagons were pierced using 2" square fabric scraps

Then I washed it and tumble dried it to get it all clean and crinkly. It's a good baby quilt size. I'll be folding it and putting it on one of my quilt ladders for display. 

The backing is a pink floral:

And the binding is a bright and light pink print:

 

Quilty Immersion

Hubby is away visiting his family for five days, so I'm having a quilty immersion week and catching up on tons of tasks that needed doing in my sewing studio.

Today I basted, quilted, bound then washed and dried my Eye Spy Adventures quilt! I'll get more photos tomorrow of this quilt finish. It's a relief to have this one out of my 'to be quilted' pile.
