Two New Quilting Tips You’ll Want to See
|
Hi there, I’ve got two new quilting posts up on the blog this week that I think you’ll find really helpful. The first post is all about Choosing the Best Color Thread for Quilting. If you’ve ever stared at your quilt top wondering what thread color won’t ruin the whole thing, I walk through the simple approach I use when piecing and machine quilting. The second post breaks down Precuts vs. Yardage for Quilting If you’ve ever stood in the fabric store deciding between a jelly roll, layer cake, or just buying yardage, this guide explains when each option makes the most sense. Both posts are meant to make the fabric and thread decisions a lot easier before you start your next quilt. Happy quilting, P.S. If fabric shopping is your weakness (same here), these posts will help you walk into the fabric store with a plan. |

If you’re more in a quilting mood, my new Ohio Stars Quilt Pattern is a classic block with an modern update. This quilt uses an blocks turned on point and then made into squares with strip...
