a colorful quilt with the words postcard from sweden quilt along busy hands quilts

I'm making progress on my Postcard from Sweden quilt. But unfortunately, I've been so busy with work, that it's taken me four days to type this post. I started out here with a pile of squares and triangles. They've now been turned into HST's. And I even managed to get the HST's up on my design wall. I did make an error design choice -- I mismatched the colours in two of the HST's. Oh well... I substituted some of the Kona colours. This is what the final quilt is supposed to look like: Photo…

Over the weekend I finished up both of my Postcard tops. The big one is nice, but I have to say that the mini is my absolute favorite! I have been staring at them, trying to figure out how on earth to quilt them. I think I am going to stitch along the diagonal lines on the mini. I still have no idea what to do on the regular sized one. I feel like it needs something more geometric, which means ruler work. For me, that means it will take forever and be a bit choppy since I'm still trying to…

Recently, I was asked to make a postcard quilt and as I was getting fabric out to cut I thought why not make 2 while I have everything out. This is the one quilt where all my boys help me layout and iron as I sew. It is so helpful! Anyway, that first quilt is sewn into blocks and ready to sew into a top, but there is no hurry since the customer doesn't want it until November. Because this one isn't a special request, I was able to use up some different colors of solids I had left over from…

an area rug made out of different colored paper pieces on the floor with scissors nearby

I've made some pretty good progress on my regular size Postcard quilt. I finally got my fabric order I was waiting on and decided to replace all the "delft" color with "stratosphere". I am much happier with the color flow now. I have 10 rows fully sewn together and two more rows made. That means only three more to go! My best tips are to use non-white thread to sew it together and to pay attention to which way you press the seams so that they nest from half-square triangle to HST and also…
