This is my favourite way to quilt small projects a 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

Why are Easter baskets either so expensive, or so Why are Easter baskets either so expensive, or so ugly?! Every year I find myself playing chicken with a fancy basket, just hoping it will go on sale ... then end up in the dollar store at the last minute, getting something crummy because it never did. This year I swore would be different, so I figured out how to make my own bunny basket. And it was actually easy to sew now that I’ve worked out the mechanics of it, so I'm really kicking myself for not doing this sooner!

My two favourite quilt books: Handmade Getaway (wh 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

Sugarcubes is perfect for mixing and matching! Her Sugarcubes is perfect for mixing and matching! Here’s where it starts to get fun. You can see that I mixed in some prints from other collections, in addition to Smol. I started cutting with certain pairings in mind, but at this stage it’s another opportunity to change things up once you start to see how the pieces are working together at this scale. . #chainpiecing #rubystarsociety #kimberlykight⁠ #sugarcubesquilt #fabricaddict
Sugarcubes relies on fabrics from the same colour Sugarcubes relies on fabrics from the same colour family, in differing values, to achieve its effect. These variations in volume, used in the same parts of each block across the quilt, create some motion and an almost glowy, sparkly look (imho). #sugarcubesquilt #modernquiltpattern #rubystarsociety

Next I'll mix in some prints from previous collections. 💕 #rubystarsociety #sugarcubesquilt #modernquiltpattern
