I have a new free quilt pattern to share with you today, called Framed Squares. I've been working with these prints from a new fabric line called Flutter and Float (from Blend fabrics, designed by Ana Davis). I love the hot air balloon prints and didn't want to lose them by cutting them up in to small pieces- So I found a way to use them as block centers, where they can be appreciated! This is great go-to pattern when you have fabrics that you really love and you just want to show them off…

This tutorial is for the 3 quilts with blocks made up of 2 rectangles. I don't cut rectangles though. I piece strips together. Cut your strips any width you want. I used 2.5" in one quilt, 3" in the next and this one is using 3.5". After piecing 2 strips together, measure the width. That is the size you will cut at. I have had several questions about what size I cut them. It has to be the same measurement as your sewn width or they won't be squares. Place the bottom edge of the first strip…

Indulge in color and pattern with this charming Whimsical Quilt Pattern, a vibrant ode to your favorite fabrics. The delightful design combines squares and rectangles in an array of blue tones, crafting a visually striking quilt that is both dynamic and captivating. Suitable for quilters at any skill level, the pattern features easy piecing instructions alongside a clear block layout diagram.

5 inch squares make for some fast and easy designs that take no time at all to whip together.

This easy block uses just squares and rectangles to create a design that alternates light and dark fabrics for a delightful quilt. While the units can be made like a typical Nine Patch block, I've chosen to eliminate some seams by using rectangles in place of some of the squares.

The easy Rail Fence quilt block comes in lots of different variations that make for beautifully different quilts. #railfencequilt, #railfencequiltpatterns

We've had a few people asking if we could repost our "Stashbuster" quilt tutorial from our old blog - unfortunately we lost the main content of it when we moved sites but we think we've recovered enough to post it again! So if like us you have indulged in a bit of stash building of late you might like to use this pattern to wade through a few of those fat quarters and make room for the new ones you’ve bought during the silly sales season! It only takes 9 fats so most of us won’t even know…

In today's post Christine Baker shares the many ways that rail fence blocks can be arranged in a quilt and shows how to finish sewing the top of her strip pieced table runner.
