Liberty crossroads quilt pattern

Have you heard of the “Give Me Liberty” Club hosted by Westwood Acres? Members of this club receive 10 pieces (either F8, FQ or F16) of Liberty Lawn fabric each month for the year. It’s a fun way to add to (or start!) your Liberty collection. Maybe some of you are already members of the club or have a fun collection of Liberty prints and are just looking for some inspiration. Well, Amanda has organized a Project Ideas Blog Hop! Each day a different blogger will share their project using a…

Image Source: Homespun Bees Knees: Noun. the bee's knees pl (plural only) (idiomatic, colloquial) Something or someone excellent, surpassingly wonderful, or cool. In my opinion, Liberty of London tana lawn, is the bees knees, especially when combined with big stitch hand quilting. I love sewing with beautiful lawn fabrics, especially in the scrappy, "almost" kantha-like style. Using small pieces of these precious fabrics to create a panel, which I then baste to a layer of batting and stitch…

This summer was hot on the east coast of Spain and the pandemic situation forced me to stay more at home. No blog posting doesn’t automatically mean no sewing. Actually, I was busy sorting out my f…

This week has been mostly scrappy sewing, with a few pillowcases thrown in for good measure. I mentioned a couple of days ago that I accidently dumped a box of 3.5" squares on the floor, which then prompted me to sort out any sets of 4 that could work in an I-Spy quilt.

For example, the 2 doggy print blocks on the…

Liberty Crossroads Quilt by Anorina Morris I've had a quilt idea brewing in my head since Christmas. I have some Liberty fabric stashed away, that I'd wanted to use.

I've made a some progress with my Liberty Crossroads quilt this past week. I was aiming for nine blocks before we head away on our holiday... ... but miscounted somewhere along the line and have made ten blocks. I thought that a 5 x 5 configuration should work well but it only covers the top of the king bed (92.5" square). To go over the sides and be a nice useable size, I may need to make it a 6 x 6 configuration, or possibly add a nice wide outer border. Thank you for all of the lovely…
