And block three. Which I realized after sewing is also block two, but with seams pressed differently. Only slightly panicked during the minute I thought I had made too many! #rsssummersewalong #quiltalong

And here’s a closeup of #iheartyouquilt number one. The quilting was beautifully done by @spooledrottenquilts 💕 Background fabric is one of my all time favourite floral prints by @sharonhollanddesigns, backing is Doe Grid widescreen by @carolynfriedlander, and the binding is a @lecien_fabrics dot that I got from @superbuzzy23 #heartquilt #penandpaperpatterns #quiltsofinstagram #quiltsofinsta #modernquilter

A finish! This is my second #iheartyouquilt (pattern by @penandpaperpatterns) and now that it’s gifted I can share. The beautiful quilting is by @honeybeequiltstudio (I’ll share more photos that show the texture a little better, I may have washed out the design with my filter lighting haha!) #quiltsofinstagram #quiltsofinsta #quiltfinish #modernquilting #modernquilt #heartquilt #riflepapercofabric

Thanks everyone for weighing on the little QAL pol

Thanks everyone for weighing on the little QAL poll I did a couple of weeks ago. The good news is, there was a lot of interest in an alphabet-themed quilt along! Here on Instagram, Blackletter had a slight edge. Over on the newsletter, results leaned pretty strongly towards the Ribbon Letters pattern. So the plan now is to do one for each pattern, most likely over the fall/winter seasons ... I want to do this right! In the meantime, I'm doing a little giveaway. Both Ribbon Letters and Blackletter work really well in a mix of gradient solids, so the winner will receive the Kona cotton fat quarter bundle pictured above, as well as digital copies of both patterns.
To enter:
1) Follow me, @patchanddot
2) Tag at least one friend in the comments
3) Be a resident of the USA or Canada (excluding Quebec - sorry friends!)
That's it! The winner will be drawn randomly from among the comments (so yes, tagging multiple friends separately will = more entries) on Sunday May 8 some time between 8 pm eastern and midnight, and announced here once eligibility is confirmed. This giveaway is sponsored wholly by Patch and Dot. Not affiliated with Instagram in any way. #ribbonlettersquilt #blackletterquilt #konacotton #fatquarterbundle #konasolids #fabricaddict #modernquiltpattern #alphabetquilt #modernquilting

Playing around with precuts in pursuit of my holy grail of a “no measuring, don’t-make-me-think” quilt, which I think will be the subject of the next edition of The Unblock

When you finish a project and your reward to yours

When you finish a project and your reward to yourself is ... a test block for another quilt! (#PandoraQuilt by @kaitthemaker) So this is yarn-dyed Essex plus Nani Iro double gauze. It seemed to work great, but I’m curious, if anyone reading has made an entire quilt with this combo? Are there any pitfalls I’m going to hit that I’m not thinking of? #quiltblock #modernquilt #modernninepatch

Confirmed today that yep, my least favourite part of quilting is ironing backings 😌💕#iheartyouquilt #quilttop
