TUTORIALS. Lone Star Block tutorial. I mentioned here that I made a center block for three different medallion quilts.
Two are Marcelle Medallion blocks from the medallion pattern in the Liberty Love book. The third was for the design as you go Medallion project we’re currently working on with the Utah County Modern Quilt Group. For that block I decided to make a lone star block. After our last meeting there were a few people who hadn’t yet settled on a block and I had a request for instructions on how I made mine. Since I didn’t take a single picture the first time around, I made another lone star block the same size to use in this tutorial. To begin, choose five fabrics for your star colors. Keep in mind that the fabric you choose for #3 will be the most prominent fabric, with #1 in the very center and #5 on the outer tips of the star. Cut 1 – 1.5 inch wide x width of fabric strip from fabrics 1, 2, 4 and 5. Free Quilt Block Patterns:UPDATED for 2012.

With Heart and Hands: Sunbonnet Sue: Free Quilt Patterns. We all know Sunbonnet Sue.
Some of us love her, some of us have appliqued or quilted her and some even remember her from childhood days. Whether you know the pattern as the Sunbonnet Sue, or the Dutch doll, Bonnie Bonnet, or as the Sun Bonnet Babies....she's been made into quilts, painted on nursery walls, appliqued onto clothing and goes back to our grandmother's or even great-grandmother's time. Many of the illustrators of the late 1800's and the early 20th century drew playful children with big hats or bonnets, but only a few are recognized as being Sue's earliest illustrators.
The first is Kate (Catherine)Greenaway (1846-1901) who as a British book editor who often drew pictures of children, especially sweet girls in bonnets on her greeting cards. Many of her designs were used on the patches of fine Victorian crazy quilts or appeared in early editions of Smithsonian magazine. An early Housekeeper magazine reprint of that article describes this time of her life. Sunbonnet Farm Girl.

Mini Quilt of the Month- February: Liberty of London Tana Lawn Cicular Applique. For our February Mini Quilt of the Month we decided to venture into the world of circles.
So often in quilts straight lines and right angles dictate our designs since they seem more approachable, but with this super simple technique of appliqueing circles, the possibilities are endless! Inspired by the design of our Liberty Swatch Portrait Wall which greets our customers as they arrive in our Soho shop, we used the wonderfully soft and cheerful Liberty of London Tana Lawn in a rainbow of colors. We love the whimsical charm of these colorful circles floating on a soft white background. One can easily get lost in the enchanting designs and exquisitley detailed printing of Liberty of London's Tana Lawn, and its colors, especially when viewed in a rainbow spectrum, are so rich and saturated.
This quilt is the perfect way to use small amounts of precious Tana Lawn to make a big impact. Materials Making the Circles. CRIB QUILT. Sri Threads. A Large 19th Century Silk Yogi: Phoenix, Paulownia and Tsutsugaki January 12, 2012.
