Tillie’s Kaleidoscope Quilt
Isn’t Tillie’s Kaleidoscope quilt so fab! I had so much fun quilting this. These large spirals on a quilt is a first for me and I am so excited about how it turned out.

Scrappy Lemoyne Star Quilt Pattern
Lemoyne Star Quilt
Designed by Gina Allen
51” X 68”
The Lemoyne Star blocks were constructed using Deb Tucker’s Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler © and the Tucker Trimmer III© ruler.
1/8 yard of 12 Assorted Prints for Stars (1.5 yards total)
3½ yards Background Fabric for the Stars, Squares and Setting Triangles
3¾ yard Backing Fabric
½ yard Binding Fabric
59” x 76” Batting
Cutting Instructions:
Cut (1) 3 ¼” strip from each of the 12 Assorted Prints. These strips will be used for the points of the Lemoyne Star Block.
Background:
Cut (12) 4 ¾” strips from the background. These strips will be used for the background of the Lemoyne Star Blocks.
Cut (2) 12 ½” strips. Sub cut each 12 ½” strips into (3) 12 ½” squares for a total of (6) 12 ½” squares
Cut (2) 18 1/8” strips. Sub cut (3) 18 1/8” squares from these strips. Cut each 18 1/8” square diagonally twice (from upper left corner to lower right corner and upper right corner to lower left corner). These will be the setting triangles used in the sides, top and bottom of the quilt. A total of (10) setting triangles are needed.
From the fabric remaining from the 18 1/8” cut, cut (2) 9 3/8” squares. Sub cut each square once on the diagonal. These will be the (4) setting triangles used for the corners of the quilt.
Block Construction: Pair together a 3¼” strip with a 4 ¾” strip for the star block. You will need 6 pairs for the Star blocks. Each pair will yield enough to make 2 star blocks. (12) 12 ½” Lemoyne star blocks are used in this quilt. Using the directions provided with the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler, piece together 12 star blocks.
Layout the quilt referring to the quilt diagram. Sew the blocks together in diagonal rows. Press the seam allowances open.
Layer the quilt top with batting and backing. Quilt as desired.
From the binding fabric, cut (6) 2” strips for binding.
Linda’s Quilt
Linda’s Rainbow Rocks
I just finished quilting Linda’s Rainbow Rocks Quilt today. It was so much fun quilting this quilt. It had a lot of negative space for me to play around with. Can’t wait to give it back to her.
Ellen’s Quilt
Ellen’s Quilt
This week I quilted Ellen’s Pixilated Heart Quilt. If I am not mistaken, I think she designed this all on her own! Ellen took her first sewing lesson from me a few years back, so I think I should take half the credit for the beautiful quilt she designed and pieced. (wink, wink) I could not be more proud of her.

I love the quilt, I love the fabric, I love the quilting…
May or may not give it back to Amy Jo.
Log Cabin Lovely
Sue’s Quilt
I finished quilting this Log Cabin Lovely today. It’s Sue’s and it’s perfection! She did such a great job on it. Until now, I haven’t really had the best space to take full sized pictures of all of the quilts I’ve quilted. My husband took care of that for me this weekend. He put up a cable/clothes line do-ma thingy for me and now I can hang the quilts and take pictures. It’s much better sharing the whole quilt instead of just a little snippet, don’t you think!
Sewing Sunday
I pieced the final blocks in this quilt this morning. This is the Urban Beads quilt pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful. It uses her Quick Curves Ruler. I made it with Robert Kaufman 1/2 Yard QuiltCon Bundle.This quilt looks challenging, but it is deceptively easy to put together. Jenny’s ruler makes it so simple. I can’t wait to get it quilted.
