Turn the Corner Quilt

 Today I'm showing the Turn the Corner quilt. This couch cuddler sized quilt is quick to stitch and has a terrific eye catching look that co-ordinates well with nearly any decor.  The pattern for this quilt is in the new Winter 2019 issue of Easy Quilts magazine.

 Island Batik provided the incredibly gorgeous blue and white fabrics for this quilt.  These fabrics belong to the London Calling collection.

 The Turn the corner quilt is made up of two blocks.  This one with darker fabric values...

 And this one with a much lighter, brighter look.

 The two blocks play beautifully together.

 I used the The Warm Company's Warm and Natural batting ~ my very favorite all cotton batt.

I quilted a simple loopy meander in an all over fashion.

 This quilt looks great in the sunshine over a wicker bench on my front porch.

 In this photo you can see a close up look of the simple loopy quilting.  Easy quilt = easy quilting.

 A look at the backing ~ I think this fabric is called Universe?

 The binding is made with the same blue dragonfly fabric as the outer border.

Finished Quilt Size:  59" x 59"

As the Crow Flies Homecoming

 My As the Crow Flies table topper is home and ready for some turkey action!

Mr. Turkey seems a little bit alarmed.  Lucky him, he's stuffed.

 Here is a close up look at a corner of this quilt.  You can see a bit of the fun I had quilting this one with a variety of motifs.  The fabrics are so cute, too.  Flowers, squirrels, pumpkins....oh yes!

 This is an outdoor clothesline photo of As the Crow Flies.  You can see a lot of the quilting in this pic, too.  I will be using this quilt as part of my Thanksgiving table setting this year.  Here in North Carolina it is sometimes warm enough to have an outdoor Thanksgiving, but it doesn't look like we are going to have that treat this year.

If you would like to sew your very own As the Crow Flies quilt, the pattern is in the November/December 2018 issue of Quilty magazine.

As the Crow Flies Table Topper

 Today I'm showing the As the Crow Flies table topper.  This is a quick, easy to sew quilt, just perfect to whip up in time for your Thanksgiving feast.  The pattern for the As the Crow Flies table topper appears in the November/December 2018 issue of Quilty magazine

 I worked with this gorgeous color palette provided to me by Riley Blake Fabrics.  This is the Calico Crow collection by Lauren Nash.  These autumn themed fabrics have squirrels, pumpkins, crows, and more ~ so cute!

 This quilt features a nine patch off center block and has a woven feel to it created by the placement of fabrics surrounding the nine patch's red border.  The pattern incorporates strip piecing techniques for fast construction.

 The 35" x 23" size fits just right on my kitchen table.  This would also look terrific dressing up a buffet for your holiday feast.  This versatile design could easily be made in other color schemes to coordinate with your decor.  Just remember to keep the values and fabric placement the same for a similar look.

 I played with a variety of quilting motifs on this quilt.  I quilted a feather flowing out of the lower left corner and up two edges.  I also quilted double circles in the both of the red borders.

 I quilted a different design in each stripe, just for fun.

I love the way the Warm and Natural batting by The Warm Company quilts.  It gives a nice weight to my project, too.  Not too light, not too heavy, just right.

 You can see shadows from the front of the quilt with the sun shining through, but I did want to show the backing fabric because it's soooooo cute!  It's all pumpkin pie style recipes and vintage food advertisements.  Love this fabric!
