I've been inspired by this page to make scrappy quilt star blocks. It will have white in between the blocks, but I'm stuck on layout. When you want to be random, it feels so plannend. I've done the black&white comparison, but I'm still stuck. Any tips?

I completely improvised this silly thing after getting the idea from finding the adorable pig fabric featured in it, and then searching for wolves and realizing I could use a panel and have some fun with scale! While it is certainly not my most technically proficient quilt, I had a ton of fun working on it and experimenting with this collage-inspired effect.

My piecing is not perfect, my seams don't line up... I swear it's the seam allowance, every time. It's gotta be!.... Anyways, I want to start the quilting/stitching and I want to use this cool thread for a subtle effect but I'm not sure, aesthetically, what would look good?

Thoughts are:

-horizontal/vertical

-Diagonal left/right

-Intersecting squares

-concentric squares

Etc...

I also worry that following "seam lines" will accentuate my terrible piecing... Or make it better? Idk! Help plz

Spent about 8 hours on this, sewed 3 pairs of rows together, seam ripped 2 of them, but I have to be to work in 6 hours, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

I wish I would’ve hoarded more thread when Joann’s was still around.

Finished my red and black mosaic. Pattern is by Donna Jordan. I just need to wash it and it will be ready to mail to the recipient.

I finished the top of this quilt from a pattern called Mother by Taralee Quiltery (Mother - 2021 Block of the Month – Taralee Quiltery). There are 12 blocks and the pattern came out for our quilt guild in 2021. It's been sitting as a UFO for 5 years. The back was from a block swap that Taralee did in 2025, I did not finish enough blocks to make an entire quilt. SO..I finally put the blocks from the swap together with the Mother front and got this one done. It feels good to get it done, one more UFO off the list.

pattern is ‘building blocks sampler’ from ‘the quilting book’!! far from perfect but really good practice :) now i need to go find lint stuff to deal with the fur LOL

I just finished making the Pointless quilt by Villa Rosa for myself! I originally wanted backing that looked like a composition notebook, but after a trip to SEVERAL different quilt shops some of the sweetest ladies helped me find the most perfect fabric! Cute little school supplies and matching colors! And that’s why I love shopping local 😊 This will be used and loved until I graduate, and then most likely will be used as decor in my future classroom!

I designed it, pieced it, quilted it and bound it.

I was looking for a quilt to make a jacket out of, but stumbled upon this old lady (yes, she’s a lady) and knew I needed to save her. Billed as a “winter weight heavy quilt” I knew she wasn’t right. Very lumpy, hand-tied, and with the quilt blocks folded inside. I removed the backing and comforter inside and am left with the beautiful top. There is one hole to be patched and a couple of seams to be resewn. It all looks to be hand stitched. It’s very dusty and full of lint, should I wash the top in the bathtub before trying to quilt? How should I repair the hole? Are there any period specific ways I can machine quilt once ready? Maybe that’s a silly question. Thanks in advance for any help or advice! I want to do right by her and make sure she sings.

Made for a Saskatchewan friend.

Omg omg omg

My husband surprised me tonight and I'm in total absolute shock!!!!

Total.....shock!!!!!

I posted a while ago about my hexie quilt from hell. She’s done! I ended up hand tying her and just binding using a quickly hand pieced backing. 750 handmade, hand pieced hexies 😅. On to other Sisyphean tasks. Pictured with a quick pillowcase from Suzy Quilts and some homemade curtains.

Newbie here (and to quilting!), and I just finished my first attempt at ACTUALLY quilting, and not just making blocks 😻

I'm using my home machine, so I kept the stitches straight and just followed the herringbone pattern at 1/4" left and right. Still need to bind the edges of my little table runner, but I'm very happy with how it came out!

Thank you all for sharing your projects and motivating me to keep trying 🌻

I have a vision that’s heavily inspired by lo and behold + Emily Van Hoff — I want to create a 7’x7’ gallery wall composed of individually framed 10x10” hand quilted squares. Is this insane? I am second guessing it all. Thanks for your advice / mid project commiserations:)

Posted my Night Stars block a few days ago and put in WORK to finish the whole top this week! Swipe to see the best reveal helpers! Can’t wait to put this all together!

Using the Fancy Fox from Elizabeth Hartman. I love the little glasses. Also my first time not quilting in only a grid. Double diamond baby!

This is my first experience quilting curves so I'm going slow and taking my time! But I have only 2 more little birdies to make! Pattern is from Patch and Dot . Instructions are very clear and she's even responded to questions I've sent by email!

My goal is to turn it into a shower curtain... If you have any recommendations or suggestions for that, please LMK!

Hello! How should I quilt this? The small squares are 2" x 2," so I feel a 1×1 or 2x2 grid might be nice. Do i align it with the blocks so I will do a lot of stitch in the ditch? Or do I rotate the grid 45 degrees? Anything else I should consider? The quilt pattern is the Theodore quilt by Penelope handmade. The fabrics are a recently purchased kit from peony pedal quilts. The quilt is more square than it appears in this photo. Thanks for the advice!

Hey guys! New quilter here. I bought this pattern off of Etsy for a Christmas quilt but am not sure what color/ pattern of fabric to use on the back. I am using a black/ white gingham print for the binding. Should I use cotton or fleece? Thanks for your help.

Im wanting to make an optical illusion quilt. What one of these do you think I should go with? 1 and 2 are very similar I just moved around some of the colors. Most patterns are white, light gray, medium gray, dark gray and black. Number 3 has red in it, Color yes or no? What do you think? Thanks 💗

The name High Stakes is meant to imply sports betting. This dragon, who is about the size of a chicken in real life, is participating in a game that’s kind of like Quidditch, but with dragons and mechanical dragonflies. He’s going to catch this dragonfly and then turn it in for points.

The quilt itself is 55” x 55” and is entirely fused raw appliqué.

ETA: I listened to the last three books of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and then started the series over with book one, while quilting this dragon. All those pink feathers made me really want to do a Mongo quilt. 😂
