Jane Galley wrote a new post, What to do with orphan blocks 7 years, 9 months ago
I hate anything going to waste and that included patchwork blocks. When I was doing some pattern testing for the Sew A Row Fire Quilt, I ended up with two blocks that weren’t used. They’d been sitting in the b…
-
Even little three inch blocks can be quilted, bound, and used as cute coasters
-
That’s a great idea
-
-
I used my one orphan block from the sew-a-Row as a Mug Mat and gave it to the recipient of my Spring Mini Swap.
-
That was a great way to use it, someone else can get pleasure from it too

I sent mine to The Grenfell Quilts

Lovely that they were able to become part of such a special project

Quilt Kits- Why I sometimes use them.
Well, my Quilty Friends I’ve sewn all my life and been Quilting for more than 20 years.
I’ve been to many a workshop and tried numerous techniques.
I have more quilting…

Gosh, the kits are great. I would only be able to buy on line so I am wary about the quality of the fabric. (They don’t sell hem here in Spain in the Fabric Shops near me). Wonder which ones people would recommend?
-
Hi Sue, the fabrics in the kit I got from Sewmotion were good quality and exactly the same fabrics that were in the sample picture. So I would recommend https://www.sewmotion.com

Thank you Joy, for getting back to me. Will havea look at their site. x

Hi Sue, Sewmotion is my baby, if you haven’t already guessed. The fabrics I include in the kits are top quality, mostly Makower these days to be honest. I will be adding more products to my shop on here very soon 🙂

Hello Joy! I’m sorry I haven’t found your wonderful and very kind blog before now, I’m so happy you’re enjoying making up my All Squared Up kit in those gorgeous Alison Glass prints. And you’re right, sometimes you just want to get stuck in and start sewing, and pre-cut kits are perfect!
Happy sewing Joy, I look forward to seeing how you quilt it 🙂 x
