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

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.

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

What I like to do for my Sugarcubes pulls is start

What I like to do for my Sugarcubes pulls is start with a single fat quarter bundle (Smol by Kimberly Kight of Ruby Star Society for this one), then pull out any prints that aren’t part of my colour scheme (in this case, some reds). Next I'll mix in some prints from previous collections. 💕 #rubystarsociety #sugarcubesquilt #modernquiltpattern

Stash overhaul! I had been keeping (in theory) all my 1 - 2 yard fabrics in an Ikea Sprutt. As you can see over time it became a real hodgepodge! Not only was this overhaul satisfying, it was educational … I have way more low volume than I realized. Plus, I need more yellow! #sewingmystash #fabricaddict #homeedit #sparkjoy #quiltingfabric #ikea #ikeahack

I'm using Kona Cotton in Blueprint for all the bolts in this Static Age quilt (pattern by Libs Elliott). For the background, in the spirit of sewing my stash, I'm using all scrappy neutrals (Kitchen Window woven gingham in Lingerie for the blocks pictured here). #staticagequilt #libselliott #modernquiltpattern
