Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial by Allison Harris on her blog cluckclucksew.com shows how important creativity is in any kind of cutting and sewing you’re going to do and we all do. Being creative is in our opinion the great importance of having and making differentiated and creative products. So let’s talk about this wonderful work?

Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial

Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial as the beginning here of this sentence is a very well explained tutorial easy to do if you take into account that you are really paying attention to every detail of what Allison wrote.

What do we think of this ready quilt? First I can speak with all authority that the colors in the prints, and the prints chosen by Allison had a more than perfect marriage. This wedding is wonderful, sometimes combining different types of colored printed fabrics with single color fabrics is not as easy as you imagine.

Maybe you think: “For me this is soft, I am experienced”. My opinion? If it were a piece of cake there would be thousands of works like this and WE would NOT be here talking about this beautiful work. So think differently, everyone has their creativity and today is Allison our HIGHLIGHT.

Making Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial, the perfect marriage of varied prints along with unique colors in strips, making diagonal squares and ufaaa interconnected … was a beautiful work that we recommend you do!

Now let’s bring your attention again to this image below which again I will not tire of mentioning that all images here are from cluckclucksew.com, the Allison Harris blog.
About this wonderful work Allison wrote in her article Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial:

“There are a few different ways to make these diagonal quilt blocks…but by far my favorite method is this tube method below. These are fairly easy blocks to make, but I wouldn’t recommend this quilt to a brand new quilter as there are shades of bias (stretchy) edges to deal with.”

Questions about Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial

Can I make this pattern in other colors?
- Of course, you will only get the inspiration based on the pattern we present here Make Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial.
Can I do it in a smaller or larger size?
- Of course you can! But when making it smaller, (referring to the diagonals) you need to make a little more “diagonal squares” to give the exact size you want of your kilt.
- You can make it bigger for sure, but being aware of the final size is important, as you know, the bigger the diagonals the less will be made.

In the end all that matters is you know how to adapt your taste, your need and your creativity to Allison’s Diagonal Strip Quilt Tutorial work. What we’ve made clear to you is that maintaining the style of the pattern is fundamental so that it can be called a beautiful Diagonal Strip Quilt.

The same pattern you can make pillowcase or pillowcase for a build to your bedroom, or pillows to use in your living room or living room actually for any environment you want to make to use for home, office or for your husband’s truck or a relative.

We hope you enjoyed this beautiful pattern and that you can do it as the next project for now 2021 and because it is a very colorful quilt that brings happiness, you can find even more joy after doing it. Access below to have the complete pattern.

Sofa cover with free patterns pockets – ideas 2020

Sofa cover with free patterns pockets is a different pattern used especially at home where there are more than 2 people who love to sit together and even alone watching a good TV show or even a good game of Basketball, Baseball, Football or other sport that has more affinity. Of course we can’t forget us who enjoy a good tea or coffee watching our favorite series or a good movie for two.

Sofa cover with free patterns pockets

Sofa cover with free patterns pockets is not just a pattern to make your sofa prettier or match your home décor, but a useful pattern for all possible moments such as keeping a remote control, a magazine, a notebook for notes while we are watching a cooking program with fantastic recipes.

It’s also not just a useful sofa cover, it’s also an organizing cover especially for those who have a husband let’s say a little more “inattentive” in organizing the TV room. Let’s face it, it’s terrible when we tidy up our house and someone comes to make everything messy.

This sofa cover has this great help, because even when “they” have that “laziness” to help in the house, Sofa cover with free patterns pockets comes as a helper because by itself it already gives incentive for the man or children to keep things in their proper place.

Another advantage of Sofa cover with free patterns pockets is that its pattern allows us to quickly remove or place the cover without difficulty. And to wash? That’s a good part. Depending on which pattern you’re washing, it looks much better, and of course if you use a fabric that can be dry-cleaned, it’s even better!

Project Tutorials Block 4 by Sunnyside Ave + Meet the Makers

Today I’ve got links to some really fun tutorials including Block #4 of Meet the Makers hosted by Riley Blake and some extra cute projects made by my friend Sachiko of Tea Rose Home. All are made with my Gingham Girls and Sunnyside Avenue fabric collections.

She has used Sunnyside Avenue fabrics to make the CUTEST mini pincushions out of plastic bottle caps. Can you believe it? Aren’t they the cutest?! And wouldn’t they make a great gift for a sewing friend?

Project Tutorials Block 4 450x650 1 — Project Tutorials Block

Project Tutorials Block 4 by Sunnyside Ave + Meet the Makers

Sachiko is the master of details. Her Tiny Tin Sewing Rooms are some of the cutest sewing-related items I’ve ever seen!

You may have missed it, but Sachiko also used my Sunnyside Ave fabrics to make this cute quilted bag.

I’m a little late to the game, but here is this week’s Block 4 from Riley Blake’s Meet the Makers. Below is the video tutorial for this block as well as the fabric requirements for the version Cindy makes.

Fabric requirements per block using the Riley Blake Confetti Cotton solids:

Riley White:

4 – 3″ x 5 1/2″ rectangles (large flying geese)
4 – 3″ squares
4 – 3″ x 1 3/4″ rectangles
8 – 1 3/4″ squares

Riley Orange:

8 – 3″ squares

Daisy:

4 – 1 3/4″ x 3″ rectangles (small flying geese)

Once again, I made my flying geese blocks using the no-waste four-at-a-time flying geese method. I’ve got a tutorial here as well as a cutting chart if you’d like to do the same.

*Important note: if you use the no-waste method above, you will cut your fabrics differently than the cutting list above.

For the four outside flying geese blocks you will need one large white 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ squares and four colored 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ squares.

For the four smaller inside flying geese blocks you will need one large print 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ square and four light 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ squares.

I’ve mentioned before, I’m slightly modifying my layout and will be sharing the details of my construction next Wednesday. In the meantime, I’m making a total of 17 of the assorted patchwork blocks.

Today, Riley Blake is kicking off a fun quilt along called Meet the Makers. For the next few weeks there will be a free quilt block tutorial each week with video instruction to make the blocks!

The reason it’s called Meet the Makers is because many of the Riley Blake Designers will be sewing along, creating the blocks featuring fabric from their own collections! I’ve started my blocks using fabric from both Gingham Girls and Sunnyside Avenue collections. I’ve always felt like they were coordinating sister collections so I’m excited to play with them both together.

Meet the Makers Quilt Along block 01 with Riley Blake Design

The finished quilt design calls for 8 of these blocks. I’ve got my first four and I’m trying to decide if I’m going to make the same block, or a different variation on the same colors. I’m kind of leaning in the direction of a scrappy variation.

Here is the finished quilt, made using Riley Blake Confetti Cottons (solids). It’s so cheerful! I’m excited to see how it turns out in the variety of different fabric collections and color palettes. If you are interested in a kit for the Confetti Cottons version, they will be restocked and available again in October.

Here is the video tutorial to get you started on Block 1!

Here are the fabric requirements (per block) for Block 1 – based on the solids version. Of course, feel free to mix and match your fabrics and color placement!

White: 8 squares 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ and 4 squares 3″ x 3″
Orange: 5 squares 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
Light Pink: 4 squares 3″ x 3″
Dark Pink: 4 squares 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″

Tutorial Block 5 Meet the Makers Quilt

For the past 4 weeks I’ve been sharing links to the quilt block tutorials for Riley Blake’s Meet the Makers quilt along. This is the final block tutorial in the series. I’ve been sewing all of my blocks with a combination of my Gingham Girls and Sunnyside Avenue fabric collections.

This week is the final block (#5) from Riley Blake’s Meet the Makers quilt along. If you missed, or want to go back and find, the tutorials to the first 4 blocks you can find them here:

tutorial block 05 482x650 1 — Tutorial Block 5 Meet the Makers Quilt

Below is the tutorial for Block 5, but you may notice that I modified this block slightly for the variation that I’m making. I’m making the five blocks in the quilt along but will have a modified layout in my finished quilt. (More on that below.)

If you are interested in making the same solids version taught in the videos, you can find the complete kit (including printed pattern) here.

The fabric requirements for each block are (based on the solids version in the video):

Riley White:

4 rectangles 3″ x 5 1/2″
4 rectangles 3″ x 1 3/4″
8 squares 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″

Riley Navy:

8 squares 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″

Riley Peacock (turquoise):

8 squares 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″

Riley Grass (green):

8 squares 3″ x 3″

As I mentioned, I modified my block and eliminated the four patches in the four corners and made them into traditional star blocks similar to the first 4 blocks. I did this because I am making fewer blocks and modifying the layout to personalize my quilt with a finished size of 64″ x 84″.

Here are the fabric requirements for the block that I made. (Keep in mind I also used the no-waste four-at-a-time flying geese method. I’ve got a tutorial here as well as a cutting chart if you’d like to do the same.)

*Important note: if you use the no-waste method above, you will cut your fabrics differently than the cutting list above.

For the four outside flying geese blocks you will need one large white 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ squares and four colored 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ squares.

Fabric Req’s:

White (background):

1 square 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″
4 squares 3″ x 3″

Yellow:

4 squares 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

Light Print:

4 rectangles 1 3/4″ x 3″

Red:

4 squares 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″

Navy

4 squares 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″

For the final layout I’m making you will need 17 pieced blocks. Here’s what I’ve made. It’s fun to see how they’ve evolved a bit – at first all of the blocks were identical. I’ve since reverted to my scrappy preferences.

It’s fun to see them all together. I’m liking the scrappy nature of this quilt and have had fun combining my Gingham Girls and Sunnyside Avenue fabric collections.

PATTERN FREE: TUTORIAL PDF

Next week I’ll be sharing my own tutorial for the off-setting block for the quilt that I’m making! As I mentioned, the projected finished size of my quilt will be 64″ x 84″ (and could easily be modified for a twin-size quilt if you need one that size).

Happy scrapping!

An All in one sleep bag is Better Free Pattern for and pillow made with plush fabric make the perfect place to cuddle up and read a book (or drift off). This article will bring you two PDF’s with the same pattern but each one contains the same information but placed in different ways for you to have exactly an idea of what that pattern is like. The Designer is from Pat Wodskow of Cuddle Soft Quilt Kits.

All in one sleep bag – Better Free Pattern

In an easy way you will now have a brief reading of how the pattern is made and the materials that are used to make it. I highly recommend that you read it to understand before downloading the PDF or even after, so that you can learn about it and make your pattern splendidly.

Materials for One Nap Sack

All in one sleep bag 01 — All in one sleep bag

1-3⁄8 yards aqua novelty print plush fabric (nap sack exterior)
1-3⁄8 yards white novelty print plush fabric (lining, straps)
5⁄8 yard circle print plush fabric (pillow)
Polyester fiberfill

Finished pillow: 17″ square

Finished nap sack: 27×43″

Yardages and cutting instructions are based on 60″ of usable fabric width. Measurements include 1⁄2″ seam allowances unless otherwise stated. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.

Cut Fabrics

Cut pieces in the following order.

From aqua novelty print plush fabric, cut:

1-45×56″ rectangle
2-2-1⁄2×19″ strips for straps

From white novelty print plush fabric, cut:

1-45×56″ rectangle
2-2-1⁄2×19″ strips for straps

From circle print plush fabric, cut:

3-18″ squares

Assemble Straps

With right sides together and using a 1⁄4″ seam allowance, join an aqua print plush 2-1⁄2×19″ strip and a white print plush 2-1⁄2×19″ strip along each long edge, leaving short ends open (Diagram 1).
Turn right side out through one short end. Topstitch 1⁄2″ from seams to make a strap. Repeat to make a second strap.

Assemble Pillow

Place circle print plush fabric 18″ square right side up with nap going down. Mark center of square along top edge. Place one end of a strap 1″ from center mark (Diagram 2); pin. Place remaining end of strap on adjacent side of square, 12″ from top edge; pin. Repeat with remaining strap. Baste straps in place to make pillow back.
Place a second circle print plush fabric 18″ square right side down with nap going down. Fold up 1″ along one edge; pin (Diagram 3). Topstitch fold next to raw edge to hem and make pillow front.
Lay pillow back right side up on a flat surface. Align top edge of pillow front with top edge of pillow back. Place remaining circle print plush fabric 18″ square right side down atop layers, making sure direction of nap matches pillow front and pillow back nap.
Sew around three sides of layered pieces, leaving bottom edge open (Diagram 4). Trim corners to reduce bulk. Turn right side out to make pillow. Stuff pillow about three fourths full between pillow back and middle square. It should bepartially filled, but not full, as you fold the sleeping bag inside this pocket.
Hand-stitch bottom of pillow closed. The hand stitching will be inside the bag, so it will not show, but it helps keep the fiberfill inside the pillow as you sew together the pillow and sleeping bag.

Assemble Nap Sack

1. Fold aqua novelty print plush fabric 45×56″ rectangle in half with right side inside to make a 28×45″ rectangle; pin. Starting 10″ from top, sew together side and bottom edges to make sleeping bag exterior (Diagram 5). Turn right side out.
2. Using white novelty print plush fabric 45×56″ rectangle, repeat Step 1 to make lining, leaving a 10″ opening in bottom seam for turning (Diagram 6). Do not turn lining right side out.
3. Insert sleeping bag exterior inside lining with right sides together. Align raw edges and side seams; pin.
4. Pin right side of pillow back (with straps) to right side of nap sack exterior back, about 5″ from each side edge of sleeping bag exterior (Diagram 7). Sew together around top edge and along open side edges. Designer Pat Wodskow suggests basting this seam first since there are five layers to keep aligned to your All in one sleep bag.
5. Turn right side out through opening in lining. Topstitch along top and side seams.
6. Hand-stitch opening in bottom of lining closed to com plete nap sackbag.

7. To secure lining to exterior, turn nap sack inside out and make a few hand tack stitches attaching the corner of lining to the exterior seam. This will keep the lining from coming out as the child climbs in and out of the sack.

Now in the button below you can download the two PDF’s remembering that they are the same, but each one is in different forms for you to understand in the best possible way. Please leave your comment here below about what you think of this article.[download_after_email id=”3059″ css=”off”]

Perfect Sunshine Slice of Life Baby Quilt

Quilting

Bianca Matos

May 11, 2020

- Advertising-

Sunshine Slice of Life Baby Quilt make every trip comfortable for your baby with the sunshine-inspired brightness of this baby quilt pattern. The Sunshine Slice of Life Baby Quilt is a colorful combination of pieced quilt block patterns and applique quilt designs created easily with templates from Fiskars.

Sunshine Slice of Life Baby Quilt

Quilts with a summer theme can also be used year round, especially when they’re this cheerful. Design a stroller quilt for your little one or for an expecting mother. Such an easy baby quilt pattern allows you to use any color scheme you’d like, and it’s just as easy to improve the shapes and characters included in your quilt block patterns.

I love “no rules” quilting – or just making it up as I go, with a basic idea (or sketch!) in mind. I wanted this quilt to work as a “stroller quilt” for my baby-on-the-way. It needed to be gender neutral in color (and to match my orange stroller!), and also be fun and happy in design. SEE ALSO: Large Hexagon Quilt Tutorial

I used a few different Fiskars Shape templates to create my sun and tree blocks, and then pieced together my house block to finish off my “You are my Sunshine” theme. Take this basic quilt sketch and turn it into anything you like – change the color scheme and/or create different focal point block designs… Just have fun!

Note: My finished quilt measures 30 x 31 inches. To work from the sketch and increase the size of your finished quilt, simply make your rows of rectangle patches longer and/or add additional rows of rectangles (i.e. 4 or more instead of my 3).

Materials:

Rotary Cutter
Mat
Fiskars circle shape template and oval shape template
Scissors

Instructions:

1) Start by using the Fiskars rotary cutter and mat to trim three blocks of fabric for your focal block bases (trim to 7.5 inches tall by 5.5 to 8 inches wide).

2) For the “Sun” block: Use the Fiskars circle shape template to trim a circle from orange fabric. Place circle in the middle of the block, trim rectangle strips (rays) from orange fabric and arrange around sun. Pin all in place and use a straight top stitch (close to edges of design) to appliqué to block. Don’t worry about edges fraying later when washed – this will add to the charm of the quilt.

3) For “Tree” block: Use the Fiskars oval shape template to trim an oval from green fabric. Trim trunk from brown fabric – I sketched my trunk shape onto paper, trimmed the paper and then traced onto my brown fabric.

4) Arrange your “tree” onto the center of your block. First pin green oval only and appliqué using a close zig-zag stitch around the oval. Then arrange your trunk back into place, pin and and appliqué using a close zig-zag stitch around the edge.

5) For “House” block: I pieced my block together from the starting point – there are many tutorials online that can walk you through the steps. To create a similar block you could also just trim the square and triangle shapes using Fiskars microtip No. 5 scissors and appliqué in place.

6) After your focal blocks are created, trim the rectangles that will go next to them. All rectangles should be 7.5 inches tall – width is up to you! (each of my finished rectangle strips measured 7.5 tall x 24 inches long.

7) Arrange rectangles with focal blocks, similar to sketch shown, and then sew together using ¼ inch inseams. Press seams all in one direction on backside.

8) After three rectangle rows are finished, trim white “sashing” to go in between and around. Sashing strips should be 3.25 inches in width.) Trim 2 pieces the length of your rectangle rows. Place between rectangle rows, pin and sew all together with ¼ inch inseams. Press seams all in one direction.

10) Trim sashing strips for top, bottom, and sides of quilt top. Pin and sew, then press seams.Really wonderful isn’t it?
