Don’t you love it when something looks SO difficult but is really super easy?
Well, let me introduce the “Square Spiral”…..
Check out just how easy it is…..
And remember that you don’t have to use a ruler. Your longer lines might not be exactly straight, but that would look AWESOME!!!
And remember that you can make it look even fancier by quilting the lines 1/2-inch apart rather than 1-inch.
So, what do you think?

Last Friday we looked at my quilting design for this simple charity quilt…..
Now that the main section is quilted, it is time to tackle the borders….
I am THINKING about quilting a square meander. I know that I can draw it, but can I quilt it???
So, now I know that I am CAPABLE of quilting the Square Meander…
… it is just a matter of finding time this week to finish off the project!
Stay tuned!!

Well, I have now finished my first week of spending a few minutes every day in my studio.
And it has been successful!!
Last year, I pieced scrap quilts during this time each morning, but this year I am starting out with quilting.
As I posted on Friday, I planned the quilting for my simple charity quilt…..
….and each morning I have set myself up to quilt for the allotted time….
And, when I listen to a favorite book…..
….the time just flies past.
Two more sessions should finish the interior quilting!!

One day I was visiting our guild Charity Bee and grabbed this quilt top to quilt……
It looked nice and easy, but it sat in my “to-do” basket for almost a year because I simply couldn’t figure out HOW to quilt it.
In this video, we look at my process and also see a bit of the quilting.
It is a great start and the quilting should go pretty quickly.
Crisis averted!!

Back in February, I was making headway on my scrap projects when I ran across a stack of teal-ish fabrics. I quickly left the project that I was working on and made this top instead…..
The top sat in my studio all year and now….the last few days of 2024, it is time to quilt it!!
I am happy with the quilting on this one…
and am looking forward to trying a new binding technique on it…….. Wish me luck!!!
