  1. I hope that one block haunts this quiltmaker for the rest of her or his days.

  3. (via How to draft a LeMoyne Star « Bloomin’ Workshop) The person who drew this and posted the tutorial also commented that she is “not a math person.”  I beg to differ.  Compass-and-straightedge constructions and the pythagorean theorem might be high school geometry, but identifying appropriate applications for them in daily life (here, designing a quilt block) requires more than just a little mathematical insight. Women, please stop perpetuating the “I’m so bad at math” stereotype and give yourselves some credit.

  4. Yesterday, I finished a mini quilt with a traditional Amish Star block.  For the hand-quilting, I made a ghetto thimble out of duct tape.  I wish I had real duct tape, though, because the dollar store stuff that I had was all gooey and more like electrical tape. I made this for a swap, and I’m going to miss it.

  5. Doll Quilt ‘10 (via devaburger) I made a quilt!  This is my first quilted (as in real) quilt ever.  I made one paper pieced square from scraps, figured it would be a long time before I made another, and turned it into a doll quilt. The grey fabric in the center is from an old, loved pair of pants.  I bought the other two center fabrics on my honeymoon.  The yellow is from a thrift store and is very, very heavy.
