Large square quilt

When I decided to make this quilt, I didn’t realise it would come together so quickly. Given there are only 13 blocks, I decided against strip piecing so I was shocked when I had the whole thing cut and pieced in less than two hours!

Hi, I’m Joz and I can’t stop making different variations of square and rectangle shaped quilts :-) So here is my latest square and rectangle quilt which was inspired by our bath mat. It comes together super quickly plus it’s very low waste!

Another day, another quilt made of lots of squares. But for this quilt, the squares are quite large AND we are using strip piecing so this quilt comes together pretty quickly! I made the 16 block quilt which is 75” x 75” - a lovely large throw size. I am sure this is a traditional quilt block but

Happy Tuesday! I'm excited to share a finished quilt today. This one has been in use all winter, and I finally finished getting photos of it during a recent snowfall (yesterday!). In the Fall of 2015, I picked up two Nani Iro by Naomi Ito bundles from Quilt Market. One was a bundle of double gauze prints, the other was a bundle of brushed cotton (flannel).

As I write this blog post, the halls are decked (except for my Christmas tree) and I am curled up under a new, large, Minky-backed Christmas quilt. I wish I could say I had some hot cocoa in hand but you're girl has got to start laying off the treats! Making this quilt was a necessity. You see, I made one just like it a few years ago and then one day my big sister was in town and started snooping through my quilts. She's never asked me for a quilt before but she said she loved it and had to…

Making a quilt can seem a bit intimidating and if you're like most creative types it's been on your bucket list for awhile. If you've already got your machine (or access to one) and the motivation to start this may be the best kind of quilt to take on. Large...
