DOWNTON ABBEY TRIMMING MARATHONJun17
------------------------- Downton Abbey… Don’t you just love the characters!! Maggie Smith is a riot. She really has some deadly zingers. I am new to this show. Oh, of course, I had heard of it. Just had never watched. How fitting is it that Season 1, Episode 1 begins with the Titanic sinking. And you know my obsession with the Titanic!! Got my attention right off the bat. Anyhoo… back to the Trimming Marathon. The reason for my post. I needed something to entertain me for several hours so I could trim the balance of my leftover half-square triangles. The little teeny ones. Didn’t wish to go wonky for them. So I needed to set aside several hours to go about the trimming. I have lots of DVD’s but wanted something new and fresh. Best Buy had Downton Abbey on sale. I bought all three seasons. So, I assembled everything I needed…. Homemade template. Made from an old VHS cassette case. Half-square triangles. Scissors. Downton Abbey DVD’s.And got started.
I hand trimmed over 600 HST’s and made it through each and every episode. All 3 seasons. I LOVE this show. Can’t wait until January 2014 to see what happens to Mary. New baby. Dead husband. All the characters are just too delish for words. Just the right tone, look and delivery. My one wish. That they hadn’t killed off the baby sister, Sybil. Well, two wishes. I wish Mary wasn’t so mean to Edith. Poor Edith. Well, got to go. Need to decide what to do with these 6 1/2″ blocks. I am thinking surround them with HUGE sashing. Maybe. Maybe not. Weshall see.
Should have more to show you in a few days. Do come back. But for now.. I am going back to Downton Abbey. Going to rewatch themall over again.
------------------------- Do you watch Downton Abbey? Who is your favorite character? Which is your favorite episode? Do tell…. -------------------------Linking to.

HOW TO MAKE A WONKY HALF-SQUARE TRIANGLE BLOCKJun13
------------------------- Ever wish you could just sew and not have to worry about matching seams at every turn? Well then… this WONKY HALF-SQUARE TRIANGLE (HST) block is for you. A block made with different HST sizes. We all have them. Dog ears trimmed from the corners. Those Snowball block corners. Also corners trimmed from mitered strips for bindings. Many projects create left-over triangles or triangle-like scrap pieces. Most of mine came from my Hugs and Kisses quilt. I had no idea what to do with all of them. But after tiring of looking at the overflowing bag, I started thinking of what to do without a whole lot of preparation. Minimal fuss. That’s when I came up with the idea of using them AS IS. “Making them work”, as Tim Gunn from Project Runway would say. I would sew all the different HST’s together with no thought to size. With one exception. I would match up the center seam going down the block. Want to make a few? OK. Here’s my 3 STEP PREPARATION PROCESS. 1. Go gather up any HST’s you have been collecting. 2. Go through your scraps and pull out any pieces shaped like atriangle.
3. And lastly, while sorting through your scraps, pull out any pieces large enough to cut a triangle. HOW TO MAKE ONE WONKY HALF-SQUARE TRIANGLE BLOCK OK. Now. Cut your scraps into triangles. I cut mine between 2″ and 2 1/2″. Cut a matching white (or white-on-white) fabric. Right sides together. Sew triangles with 1/4″ seam. Chain piece to save time and thread. Sew one triangle after the other. Do not cut thread until alltriangles are sewn.
Cut thread chain. Press triangles open. Cut tips off the corners. Now you are ready to BUILD YOUR WONKY BLOCK. You need 24 HST’s per block. Twenty to form the outside square and four for the center ofthe block.
Starting with the LEFT side. Select five (5) HST’s and line them up. Mix up the colors and patterns. No repeats in a block. (Refer to photos for placement.) TOP. Add five more HST’s. RIGHT SIDE. Add five more HST’s. BOTTOM. Add five more HST’s. CENTER. Add four HST’s. When all 24 HST’s are placed, your block should look like this. ------------------------- Next. ADD WHITE FILLER TRIANGLES ALONG THE SIDES. Using white or white-on-white (WOW), cut strips of 2 1/2″ by WOF. Now cut the strips into 2 1/2″ squares. You will need a lot of these squares depending on how many blocks you make. Cut 2 1/2″ squares diagonally down the center. Place one white triangle in the empty slots along the block edges according to the photo. Eight per block. ------------------------- SEW HST’S TOGETHER I like to pin each row so when I am sewing I don’t have to guess which direction the HST should face. Sew HST’s together by row. Press strips. Doesn’t matter which direction to press the seams since they probably won’t line up toabut anyway.
Trim strips using the “shortest” HST as your guide. Trim top and bottom of the strip. -------------------------SEW ROWS TOGETHER.
When sewing rows together, only be concerned with getting the center HST’s lined up. The rest won’t matter. They will be wonky if you used different sized HST and won’t line up with the adjoining rows. (They may look funny now but in the end, they will be ok.) ------------------------- Now time to TRIM THE SIDES OF THE SEWN BLOCKS. Starting with the right side. This is the area you will trim first. See my pencils? That is your guide for ruler placement. Place your see-through ruler with the one inch marking on the edge of the “top” HST and one inch marking on the edge of the “last” HST in THAT SAME ROW. Don’t worry about any wonkiness. The one inch of white will balance it out and create a uniformity of white sashing throughout your quilt top. Go around the block and trim the four longest sides. You can also trim the shorter sides of the blocks. They shouldn’t be that much off. Just a tad. This is how your Wonky HST Block should look with all sides trimmed. One last thing to do to complete your wonky blocks. Add the corner triangles so blocks can be sewn together to form your quilt top. ------------------------- ADDING FOUR TRIANGLE CORNERS Select whichever fabric you wish for the four corners. I LOVE Polka Dots!! So that is what I used. Lots of colors. (Note: Depending on what size your block ended up, you may wish to experiment with ONE block first. Before you cut all the corners. Cut two. Pin them to your block. Finger press to make sure the corner triangle extends to the edge of your block. So you are NOT cutting into the block when trimming. I started with 4 1/2″ which proved too short. 4 3/4″ or 5″ would have been a better choice. BUT you experiment with one block to make sure your triangles are lined up with the block edges when sewn and pressed.) Your corners will be added on the longer sides of the block. See mypencils.
Sew and press corner triangles. Trim side edges as needed. And DONE!! Repeat to make as many blocks as desired for your quilttop.
------------------------- Arrange Wonky Blocks to your liking. As you can see, most of the wonkiness disappears and is not so noticeable when block is turned diagonally. Diamond shaped. ------------------------- This is my quilt top. It measures 56 1/2″ by 57″. I just need toquilt it.
Hope you will make a few of these Wonky HST Blocks. And hope my tutorial was helpful. Thanks for following along. -------------------------Linking to…

STAIRSTEPS QUILT TOP IS FINISHED AND IT’S A BIG ‘UNJun8
------------------------- I knew this quilt would be a big one. But dragging on the floor!! 90″ by 78″. I ran out of design wall space. Sashing was finished a while ago. But the Borders… Let me tell you. I struggled a bit with the borders trying to make sure they were even on all sides. It took me longer than usual since I added two extra steps. When one side was slightly longer, I sewed a seam using the longest stitch on my machine (5) very close to the edge. That proved to be the equalizer it needed. And THEN I pinned the edges and ran another long-stitch seam connecting the border to the quilt top. As a test to make sure the measurements matched the cut borders. It worked. My sides matched up. So glad to put this quilt top in the finished column. It looks exactly as I envisioned it would. I started cutting the squares and strips on April 8. Exactly two months ago. Not that I worked on it two whole months. But on and off in between all my various other projects. Still lots to do though. Not sure yet for the backing. But I am not going to piece one. Will use yardage from my stash. Then have to quilt it. Thinking waving lines going top to bottom. The binding I will use you can see in this photo. Upper right corner. Sort of a striped brickand cream.
And then… as luck would have it… I will have my matching pillow after all. I have enough leftover burgundy fabric to use for sashing. I already cut the strips and have the fabric squares in strips. Readyto sew. So happy.
IF it isn’t raining. IF the sun comes out. I will try to take a photo of the entire quilt top outside. So for now, I will leave you with this last image.It’s A Big ‘Un.

A WONKY QUILT TOP FINISHJun6
------------------------- Well, nothing lined up properly. And the points don’t match up. It is indeed a wonky quilt. BUT I LOVE IT just the same. After deciding I did not want to make any more wonky blocks, I started adding borders. One white to kind of disguise the cutoff block tips. And one in black to wrap up the color explosion. I finished putting the last border on yesterday. It measures 57″ by 57″. For the back, I will use the two leftover blocks and surround them with polka dots. For the binding, I think I will go bold and use hotpink polka dots.
This project has been a learning experience. For sure next time, I will accurately measure the corner triangles so I don’t end up cutting into the “block” when trimming. It’s all good. If I don’t learn something from each of my projects, then I need to put my sewing machine in storage. I still have a ton of half-square triangles (HST’s) leftover from my Hugs and Kisses quilt. The smaller ones. I think I will trim these before deciding on a project. Not sure if I want to go wonky again. I have one more border to sew on my Stairsteps quilt and yay!! that quilt top will be finished too. For real!! Two quilt tops. Can you believe it? OK… enough about me. What have you been working on? Do tell. -------------------------Linking up to.

ANOTHER HALF PANEL AND LET THE SASHING BEGINMay29
------------------------- As you know, I bounce around a lot!! But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I get bored FAST and like to move from project to project. It takes longer to finish up but being able to revisit a project with fresh eyes seems to help me creatively.That said…
Today, I bounced back to my Stairsteps quilt. Last time you saw it, I had three panels completed. Now there are four and one half. With one half to go and then I will begin sashing with my avocado fabric. Only have about two yards of it but that should be aplenty for sashing. 3-4″ between each panel and on the sides. I have been building these strips for a time now and am really excited to finally see the panels sewn together. If I don’t “bounce” around for the next two days, I just might get this quilt top finished this month. The burgundy fabric I am using is just about used up. I am having to be very protective of it and carefully cut the sashing strips. No room for error. I already checked the web and wasn’t able to find it anywhere. I guess it is out of print. I am hoping I have enough for the border. A long and narrow pillow with the same strips and burgundy sashing would be pretty. But don’t think that is in the cards. I have my fingers and toes crossed that I have enough burgundy for myquilt.
You can see how long the panels are (77″) in this photo. I am thinking with the sashing and borders, this is going to be a big’in.Wish me luck!!

I NEED 22 MORE WONKY HST BLOCKSMay27
------------------------- Each block takes 24 half-square triangles. 624 used. Hopefully I will have enough HST’s to finish. I am guessing I had about 1000 created from my Hugs and Kisses blocks. They are different sizes and I didn’t want to trim each one. So I am using them as is. In all their wonky gloriousness. I am so glad I took the extra time to sew the seam across the “dog ear” triangle before trimming. Otherwise I would have been left holding the bag. The bag full of individual triangles. OK… back to sewing. Did you have a great Memorial Day? What did you cook? Send me some. -------------------------Linking to…

AND NOW I HAVE STARSMay25
------------------------- A bit of surgery and look what I ended up with. STARS. Two giant stars. They aren’t sewn together yet but you can see somewhat how they are going to look. I took one of my 25 patch blocks from each color set and sliced it diagonally down the center. I like the color arrangement of the star on the left. Not so much the one on the right. I think the green looks dull. Could use a sprinkling of some “pop.” I think I am going to redo the entire block. I have some more interesting green fabrics in my stash. Or I could use the yellow ones. Though I wasn’t happy with the color arrangement. Now, I have to decide what to use to fill in the open spaces. I have a few ideas. We shall see where those ideas take me.Stay tuned…
