Are you familiar with Moravian Stars? I found them in 2015, made a few, and wrote a tutorial. The American Quilter's Society picked it up and promoted it on their blog, and to this day, it is still one of my top performers. Betsey with AQS reached out a few weeks ago to ask if … Continue reading Moravian Star Sew Along with AQS
My friend Justin, from Keaton Quilts, is running a quilt along for his East Village Vibrance quilt pattern. Have you seen it? He has designed a beautiful quilt, and I decided to join in. Quilt alongs are fun! (And often have prizes.) My first step was to chose my fabric. Of course, I went with … Continue reading East Village Vibrance Quilt Along
Well, February is in the books, and I've yet to fall behind on my Block of the Month. I'm happy to report that I've finished my block for this month's Gotham Quilts Collection Quilt BOM program. It is amazing what being the leader has done for my motivation! Each month I lead two demos, which … Continue reading Collection Quilt BOM – Months 1 & 2
This may surprise you, but I enjoy starting projects even more than I enjoy finishing them. In January I started two, to go along with the two I already planned on. I'm thinking about joining in on a few more, but not yet. 2019 Modern Half Square Triangle BOM Steph Jacobsen is a fellow Island … Continue reading Sew Along Projects
Do you follow Carolyn Friedlander? I'll confess - I just found her blog. I learned about her at Gotham Quilts, and then I met her at Quilt Market this year. Her quilt designs and fabrics are all very modern, and it took me a little bit to warm up to them. I'm still learning to … Continue reading Start with a Finish QAL

The color theme for December is Black and White. Thank goodness - a color I can identify without my color wheel. The 2018 Monthly Color Challenge is … Continue reading December Color Challenge

Things have been a little chaotic here at Dizzy Quilter this week. The Strauser's have decided to relocate closer to Manhattan. Life in a shore town with a long commute to work is just not working for us. I'll write a bit more about this soon. My second Tula Pink City Sampler* quilt is coming … Continue reading 100 Days 100 Blocks 2018 # 1-25
Welcome back to the 2018 Monthly Color Challenge! This month we are playing with yellow orange. Sometimes I struggle with identifying tertiary colors in my stash. In fact, this month I'm fairly certain that either my colors are wrong here, or they are wrong for my orange block, because the two blocks are the same … Continue reading August Color Challenge

It is part of a challenge being hosted by Angie at Gnome Angel to sew 100 quilt blocks in 100 days. Each day we need to post our completed block on Instagram. This year I … Continue reading 100 Days 100 Blocks 2018 # 1-10
