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.

Do you remember those Sketch Cottons I got a couple of weeks ago? I cut into them this weekend and started on a quilt. I am going to make the Diamond Ring Quilt from Green Bee with them. I got the pattern from Super Buzzy while at QuiltCon. I love this quilt. This is one of the only two patterns I bought while at QuiltCon. I was having a rough time getting the pieces to come together and then I figured out that I had been sewing them incorrectly. Duh-huh! Once I started sewing them the correct way, it started to come together really quickly. Amazing how that works, huh? I had my local glass cutting shop make acrylic templates for this quilt. That made the cutting so much easier. The pattern calls for four 1 yard cuts of fabric for the diamonds, but I used 12 fat quarters (to get the colors I wanted) and I had plenty left over. I could probably have made another quilt with the left over fabric. (also good I had extra because of my initial sewing screw-up) I can’t wait to finish this quilt, but it will have to wait. I am going down to my basement to quilt for customers and I am not coming up for air until I get a bunch done.

As soon as I saw this quilt, I wanted to make it.
It looks like my featherweight just threw up a rainbow doesn’t it! 
I got half pieced together today, but I think I am going to save the rest for next Sunday. It is made using this free pattern.

I finished putting this Patchwork Chevron Quilt together today. I made it following this tutorial from Moda Bake Shop. I added a few blocks to it so that it would fit on a king-size bed.
I am getting some acrylic templates cut for the Cartwheel Quilt (see previous post) and they will not be ready until Monday. I thought maybe I should try to get this quilt completed while I waited for the templates. This quilt uses fabric from Denyse Schmidt’s Hope Valley and Flea Market Fancy. It is going to go on my bed. I think I am just going to add one more row to the side to make it a tad bit wider. If I get really ambitious, I think I should make some matching pillow shams.
