About Patch and Dot

Patch and Dot is a quilting and crafting blog. Posts are mostly quilting tutorials and round ups of the best patterns and quilting classes that I've tried on my quilting journey. You'll also find quilt-along news, swaps, and pattern reviews, with a focus on simple, modern quilt projects (bonus points if there are hearts and rainbows involved). Visit the Patch and Dot shop for modern baby quilt and mini quilt patterns.

Now that my block buddy has received it, I can share this block that I sent for the #rssblockbuddies exchange! This was such a fun one, now to decide what to do with my block (you can see it a couple posts back). 💕#rubystarsociety #rubystarsocietyfabric #quiltblock #quiltblocksofinstagram #modernquilting #quiltblockswap

So in love with the block @catydid.it sent me for the #rssblockbuddies block swap! These colours are totally my jam, and it works so well as a graphic, standalone block, I think I’m going to turn it into a library book tote 🙂 #rubystarsociety #quiltblock #quiltblockswap

This is my favourite way to quilt small projects at home: quadrants of nested triangles. It looks modern and the lines are short enough to be a little forgiving for those of us who are somewhat straight line challenged. #popblocksquilt #quiltsofinstagram #babyquilt #modernquilt #freequiltpattern

Pop Blocks measures 40” x 40” so that gives you an idea of the scale of these rocks (which I would say were about twice as tall as you can see in the picture). #popblocksquilt #novascotia #quiltsofinstagram #quiltsofinsta #modernquilt #freequiltpattern

I used some treasured fabrics in this one. From left to right:

- Elizabeth Olwen again
- The Lovely Hunt Fairy Rings in peach by Lizzy House
- sweet old fashioned ditsy print, not sure of the name
- Kitchen Window wovens by Elizabeth Hartman for Robert Kaufman
- more neon 💕

Sugarcubes large throw top is done! This one is 72” x 72”. The pattern also includes a proper queen size as well, but this size covers our bed pretty nicely. #sugarcubesquilt #rubystarsociety #quiltsofinstagram

My two favourite quilt books: Handmade Getaway (which you can get at @_theworkroom) by Jacqueline Sava and Karyn Valino, and Walk by Jacquie Gering. The former is probably the most beautifully put together quilt book you’re ever going to find, and the latter has helped me get so much more of my beloved little Bernina. #igquiltfest2023 #quiltbooks #quilting

So Sugarcubes as-it-is-written calls for two different values of the same colour in a single block ... but the truth is it looks good with two different colours as well. (Even here though I like to keep the darker tones to the corners, and a lighter tone for the pieces that run diagonally across the middle. #sugarcubesquilt #rubystarsociety #modernquiltblocks
