Fabric Cutting Machine for Quilts with Cricut + Riley Blake
This post, Fabric Cutting Machine for Quilts with Cricut + Riley Blake, is sponsored by Cricut! I'm so excited to reveal my Around We Go Baby Quilt that I made entirely with a fabric cutting machine - the Cricut Maker which I've been raving about for over a year now. This was the first time I'd ever used a Riley Blake quilt kit and the process was so easy since the kit was prepackaged with all the fabric I needed and the Cricut Maker cut the fabric out for me. I loved the fabrics in the kit, there are a few florals, and bright, pretty ...Continue Reading
Jelly Roll Strip Quilt Pattern
It's time for Quilt Block of the Month with a Jelly Roll Strip Quilt! This quilt block is very easy and uses a 2.5" strip which you can buy precut in jelly roll (rolie polie) form! The Jelly Roll Strip Quilt uses 1 jelly roll / rolie polie and 1 solid coordinating color (I chose off-white!) You will have extra fabric from the jelly roll left over so you can use it for other projects. The pattern comes together quickly and makes a lap-sized quilt. I am always amazed at how quickly quilts come together and using a jelly roll makes it even ...Continue Reading

10 Ways to use the Cricut Maker for Quilting
This post, 10 Ways to use the Cricut Maker for Quilting, is sponsored by Cricut! You've probably figured out by now that I LOVE MY CRICUT MAKER! I've used it for so many projects and the quiet whirrrrr of the machine cutting has become one of my favorite parts of my sewing space. Many of the projects I've been able to make are things I really couldn't do (or wouldn't attempt!) without the Maker. I couldn't sleep all night the first day I was introduced to the Cricut Maker, instead I stayed up brainstorming projects and ideas. Some of those ...Continue Reading

Quilt of the Month // Pixie Dust Quilt Block
It's time for Quilt Block of the Month! Each month (or so..) I'm sharing a 10" by 10" quilt block that you can use to create an entire quilt, or sew 1 at a time to create a sampler quilt! Today's quilt block is called the Pixie Dust Quilt Block because it has a little bit of a pixie magical feel to it. There are 5 pieces in each quilt block and you use 5 different fabrics in the block. Each piece of fabric is a nice band that shows good amount of the fabric so you can use fabrics with a little bit of a bigger scale. I think this quilt pattern ...Continue Reading
