around it is all about Quilting Education. We have you covered if you are a
quilt hobbyist or a budding quilt designer. We are doing two lectures that we normally only
do for guilds and two lectures that we only do at professional trade shows. So, sit
back, relax, and take one of our 4 exclusive lectures from the comfort of your own home! If you have ever wondered what it is like to
be a professional designer in the quilt world or looking for tool
recommendations, check out our classes below ( Please note: All class times are in Pacific Standard Time, so plan accordingly for your time zone.):</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

If so, please send us a picture at <a href="mailto:heidi@thewhimsicalworkshop.com" target="_blank">Heidi@thewhimsicalworkshop.com </a>or share it with us in the comments below. I would love to see what you’ve created! </p><div>If this is your first time stopping by for a free block, welcome; we’re so glad you’re here!

Once we finish them I will be turning all of these adorable blocks into one great quilt pattern. I cannot wait to see how this turns out!</div><div><br /></div><div>The theme for this month’s block was “Rain”, with a corresponding color palette of all cool colors. I have to say I struggled a bit on this theme and was not sure what I was going to do until the deadline was looming. Matthew helped me out with the idea of a frog under a flower. Once I had the idea, it just all came together. I decided to call it "I Love Rainy Days" and here is the link to the <a href="https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/shop/Patterns/p/FREE-I-Love-Rainy-Days---Block-Pattern-x56174670.htm" target="_blank">pattern</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now let’s get started crafting our newest block!

The center is a square, which I fold in half in both directions and give it a good press. I fold each bias triangle in half to mark the center line as well. This gives us our center lines that we can use during assembly.</p><p>The first round is white triangles. I take the first white triangle and nest it into the center square, following that folded line to center the bias triangle on the square. Next, do the same thing for the opposite side and sew with 1/4" seam. Then, in order to not stretch the fabric, gently fold up the white triangles and press down using the edge of the iron into the seam. Next we can add on the remaining two white triangles using the center square's folded line for alignment. Press the triangles and square up the unit. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKdkm63G2NlvHR_P-Hv734pThI0zMTBgY4psJFSV53AyLCR2107Fsg36pFDSXaHGio_-nktRi8VdMxNtMJzZJoS9uyPYxGia3bnTthXdL8_k5R4AFhcBmnhSWGU_0R-dwNQN-lD2gSL0A/s1920/6_Build+the+center+Square+with+Bias+Triangles.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKdkm63G2NlvHR_P-Hv734pThI0zMTBgY4psJFSV53AyLCR2107Fsg36pFDSXaHGio_-nktRi8VdMxNtMJzZJoS9uyPYxGia3bnTthXdL8_k5R4AFhcBmnhSWGU_0R-dwNQN-lD2gSL0A/s320/6_Build+the+center+Square+with+Bias+Triangles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Next, we'll add on the remaining triangles and square up the finished unit.

Then flip the project over and sew with the border on the bottom and the quilt top on top. This makes it easier to start and stop 1/4" away from each corner. Sew all 4 sides on, but don't press anything at this point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Fold your quilt top in half diagonally, wrong sides together, so that the borders lay flat. Mark the miter on the outer border fabric using a ruler with a 45 degree line, and sew from end to end. If your border lays flat with no pleat, then you're ready to trim away the excess, leaving 1/4" seam allowance.

While for some Valentine’s Day may feel like an over-the-top Hallmark holiday, I personally love the idea of everyone collectively coming together on the same day to celebrate the people in their lives that they love. Whether you’re bringing roses home to your partner after a long day of work, dropping off homemade brownies to your best friend, or watching a romantic comedy on the couch with your family, Valentine’s Day gets its true magic from the traditions that you and your loved ones create.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><p></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">One way that I show love to my friends and family is by creating sweet, thoughtful (and usually easy) projects to let them know that I was thinking of them. This is a <a href="https://media.rainpos.com/4806/dearest_heart_pattern_with_cover_fr064_01182017.pdf" target="_blank">free project </a>I designed for exactly this purpose – quick, sweet and easy! It’s the perfect size for a wall hanging or table topper, and while I like that it’s not in traditional Valentine’s Day colors, yours easily could be! For the version I’m showing here, I chose the Curious Dream collection from Windham Fabrics. It’s soft, pretty and inspired by one of my favorite fairy tales, Alice in Wonderland.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></p><h2 style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><b>Dearest Heart<br /></b></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><b>36" x 36"</b></span></span></h2><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZLEy4BsJ8332-7U6Vse0SOkdKWCaDFNmVkTOIdv488kWs7wHp0tD8-nPX9rBaZj7pedJt5XVc2nQAKQrAszUr51EqgQ4usRxyg0JILtosPDr1JmpXyuO4DEA_qcJvHP1a-e9Kbwy_SwJo/s320/Finished+Quilt+Cut.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZLEy4BsJ8332-7U6Vse0SOkdKWCaDFNmVkTOIdv488kWs7wHp0tD8-nPX9rBaZj7pedJt5XVc2nQAKQrAszUr51EqgQ4usRxyg0JILtosPDr1JmpXyuO4DEA_qcJvHP1a-e9Kbwy_SwJo/s0/Finished+Quilt+Cut.jpg" /></a></div><b><br /></b></span></span></div><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i>This project features the use of the GO Mix and Match 6” Qube, GO! 6” Companion Set and Queen of Hearts Die Sets, however traditional cutting instructions are included in the pattern instructions. </i>You can download this free pattern from our website: <span class="s1" style="color: #dca10d;"><a href="%22">https://media.rainpos.com/4806/dearest_heart_pattern_with_cover_fr064_01182017.pdf</a></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfQhI3b76v8_cCB0FU_lyDPspZpmoqZlTnIbsnkaErZjkriI5s_VxB9ZL_GrTnxHqIfBaawIWWTvJPznwzgnanhMICJSvQ9Knb5sZdfGnqguHXY1pRZ7vV3xojfgTB04vXL6hHk-bexLjC/s800/Dies+and+Fabrics_Dearest+Heart.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="362" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfQhI3b76v8_cCB0FU_lyDPspZpmoqZlTnIbsnkaErZjkriI5s_VxB9ZL_GrTnxHqIfBaawIWWTvJPznwzgnanhMICJSvQ9Knb5sZdfGnqguHXY1pRZ7vV3xojfgTB04vXL6hHk-bexLjC/s320/Dies+and+Fabrics_Dearest+Heart.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">While constructing the pieced block for this quilt, I wanted to keep things simple. I used a Monkey’s Wrench Block, featuring assorted dies from the GO! Qube 6” Mix and Match dies. I added a touch of white fabric as the restring strip to help break up the different peach and teal pieces.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy8UoPBiSZ30q3Ng7iHNM2IaNF1MReBHKy7dTF2JWfkYYuzLsnnUdnZjSOXr91Da1rLkrk_qW3lh5np8B-GgADXYfF_TrfyOo2kSU4OAPksyBf2fejjrPDkBto78_pR2MklPxfc7d5UDbJ/s800/Block+One.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy8UoPBiSZ30q3Ng7iHNM2IaNF1MReBHKy7dTF2JWfkYYuzLsnnUdnZjSOXr91Da1rLkrk_qW3lh5np8B-GgADXYfF_TrfyOo2kSU4OAPksyBf2fejjrPDkBto78_pR2MklPxfc7d5UDbJ/s320/Block+One.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">For the appliqué block, I used a combination of colors and different heart sizes from the Queen of Hearts Die to add dimension. I centered the layout easily by folding the background square into quarters and pressing. Then, once you open the block, the center lines are pressed in and can be used as a placement guide for the hearts.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixGYTrXLXxCNP2hw-11KdE1Kw5nqliS2SnAPu7bt3UgEdy3z7SQS6nCukvNylTchyphenhyphenu8_ccFZXpnBS8UV0lQ-WJzw-NrNe0ope7nLvmXpUrTmvHhAb5R9KHC3R-Nv7RnUeMmrlyzk0Gptb3/s816/APplique+Layout.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixGYTrXLXxCNP2hw-11KdE1Kw5nqliS2SnAPu7bt3UgEdy3z7SQS6nCukvNylTchyphenhyphenu8_ccFZXpnBS8UV0lQ-WJzw-NrNe0ope7nLvmXpUrTmvHhAb5R9KHC3R-Nv7RnUeMmrlyzk0Gptb3/s320/APplique+Layout.jpg" /></a></div><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I choose a bright turquoise Aurifil thread for the finishing stitches around the hearts as I like the way that the color pops off against the block. Even though thread color can sometimes look very intense on the spool, I recommend laying out a piece of thread you’re considering against the block to see how it looks. You’d be surprised at how much your opinion can change when you see everything together. I tried several softer colored threads initially, but kept coming back to the bright turquoise!</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvwF8Vy-0VBAMr3zEFJu89HsnxCvn-qzSHdEP_BVJaaAuKfjZ3Y-KuaRjB-QBtnaM-s9tPgKp18k61jJoT7e1IM_G-vU4ngcEQYz0Vq8guWJkir5WkwpbpYO20PCjeYbWx4XQ5MHgXUgv/s800/Applique+Block+Stitched.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="753" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvwF8Vy-0VBAMr3zEFJu89HsnxCvn-qzSHdEP_BVJaaAuKfjZ3Y-KuaRjB-QBtnaM-s9tPgKp18k61jJoT7e1IM_G-vU4ngcEQYz0Vq8guWJkir5WkwpbpYO20PCjeYbWx4XQ5MHgXUgv/s320/Applique+Block+Stitched.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">To pull everything together, I used the darkest teal fabric in the collection as the sashing as it works as a frame around each of the lighter colored blocks. I also used the peach words fabric for the corner stones to help bring the peach color through to the outer areas.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyj1TQyEKE562VvyH8JuH9lwAIpPs3rw0rbDMKzWoPtXH-Vy4x6d-d7PO5VYOZYPNPuvPOscvUev7h4-g-4c1UWNjFaojfb2na8tjxjHLzoAI8K3EMjV6Dy6ZU4IsSWSz4eHvRHFfEX9ZU/s800/Rows.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyj1TQyEKE562VvyH8JuH9lwAIpPs3rw0rbDMKzWoPtXH-Vy4x6d-d7PO5VYOZYPNPuvPOscvUev7h4-g-4c1UWNjFaojfb2na8tjxjHLzoAI8K3EMjV6Dy6ZU4IsSWSz4eHvRHFfEX9ZU/s320/Rows.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Now if you know me, you know just how much I love polka dots! So for the Outer Border I made (44) 3” Drunkard Path blocks and used them to create a polka dot border. I’m absolutely thrilled with how this came out and feel like it has the potential to bring such an interesting element to other borders and projects.

And what a year it's been. For many of us who have spent so many months inside, our New Years Resolutions are probably an interesting mix of wanting to get out and socialize more, but also find new ways to keep our homes and studio spaces clean, organized and easily accessible. </p><p>I'm a big believer in the power of an organized space to make hobbies more fun. If you know where everything is, can reach all of the tools you might need, and your main crafting space is clean when you walk in, it's that much easier to enjoy what you're working on. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGP0uF6uQz8TJNK-vt0FPDCgD1z0wwwkiN8QTwGAfg_osH4lZe83fYQ8pXc8Mk3ImA5tMrMcneK5Xc8jz6zTsGHvYc9ohMCtPCTEkF1_PoqU2k5PZds1weXAFqW5KJ83_ay3Ivstll_76/s2048/Screen+Shot+2020-12-09+at+1.33.00+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGP0uF6uQz8TJNK-vt0FPDCgD1z0wwwkiN8QTwGAfg_osH4lZe83fYQ8pXc8Mk3ImA5tMrMcneK5Xc8jz6zTsGHvYc9ohMCtPCTEkF1_PoqU2k5PZds1weXAFqW5KJ83_ay3Ivstll_76/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-12-09+at+1.33.00+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>To that end, I've curated a playlist of videos that are all about organizing your quilting/sewing craft space. Together we'll walk through how to store your fabric stash and your rulers, tips for getting organized before starting a new project, how to keep things together when you're in the middle of a project, and ways to sort and store small notions. I'll take you through a tour of how I've personally set up my studio so that the space works best for me, and I'll share lots of secret tips I've learned throughout my many years of working in the fabric and quilting world. </p><p>Hopefully these tips and tricks are helpful if you're looking to re-organize your space for the coming New Year! </p><p><br /></p><p>To start off, let's take a 360 degree look at my own personal studio space! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="351" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YQZSIu367xk" width="480" youtube-src-id="YQZSIu367xk"></iframe></div><br /><p>A really important step in keeping your sewing and quilting space clean and enjoyable to work in, is to find a way of organizing all of your tools and supplies that really works for you. Everyone's space is unique and might have different storage or space limitations. Take a moment to really think about your space - the kinds of projects you like to work on, the tools you reach for the most, how much room there is for storage, etc. Your space doesn't have to look like anyone else's, as long as it serves you and your needs!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="352" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rdnS75iaCvA" width="480" youtube-src-id="rdnS75iaCvA"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ah yes, the famous fabric stash... I absolutely love collecting new fabrics, and personally don't see a problem since they're all different patterns and colors, from different designers, and clearly I need them all! However finding a place to put all of it away in my studio space has been an ongoing adventure. I like being able to see what I have already so that it can inspire me to work on new projects, but I also don't want big piles of fabric laying around and taking up space. If you also have a fabric stash, here are the ways I've chosen to organize mine!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pcB2bYETG3w" width="479" youtube-src-id="pcB2bYETG3w"></iframe></div><div><br /></div>My other big collection is of rulers. There are so many different rulers for creating all kinds of unique block shapes, angles, and designs. I really enjoy working with rulers and having them right at my fingertips so that I can reach for the right one quickly and easily. While most may not have quite as many rulers as I do, you probably have more than you realize! They're easy to collect as you work your way through different patterns and blocks, and pretty soon you've got quite the collection. So how do I keep my rulers organized? Let's take a look!<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="355" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dBJ42TKPWVg" width="479" youtube-src-id="dBJ42TKPWVg"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>And what about all of those smaller notions that we need for our projects? Sometimes finding ways to sort and store smaller things can be even trickier because there are so many options. Do you keep your binding clips in a little box on their own, or in a drawer with pins and bobbins? One of my favorite tips for sewing machine feet, Cricut wheels and even bobbins, is to use a bait box. I get mine from Amazon and I love how they're stackable and have little compartments that keep all of the different pieces from getting tangled/damaged. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="358" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ct-EHuo3Jz4" width="480" youtube-src-id="ct-EHuo3Jz4"></iframe></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Now that we've found the right home for all of our fabric and tools, how do we organize ourselves for a new quilt project before we even begin? I think this is the most important step in any project. While it takes a bit of time upfront, it can save you so much time later on down the road. It's almost impossible to get all the way through a quilt top pattern in one sitting, and it can be so easy to forget which step you're on or which piece of fabric you're working with next. Take the time now to pre-cut and label your fabric, make sure you have a box big enough to store all of your larger pieces and pattern. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="359" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9t0K5DCpO50" width="479" youtube-src-id="9t0K5DCpO50"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you have unfinished projects sitting around in your space that you've been meaning to get to, or feel overwhelmed by, you're in good company! It happens to all of us. On average in my studio, I'm working on anywhere from 20-30 different projects at a time so I have to keep track of a lot of moving parts and pieces. I'm excited to share with you the methods that I've developed over the years because I think they're helpful whether you're working on one project, or ten at a time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="356" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I85bHmW00yI" width="479" youtube-src-id="I85bHmW00yI"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you so much for sticking around and I hope I've been able to share some useful tips and tricks with you.

My name is Sarah, and I work at The Whimsical Workshop behind the scenes doing social media writing, scheduling and posting, etc. While I've been working with Heidi a lot since March when I lost my full time position in Marketing, the truth is that I've been circling around the studio for most of my life. Heidi's husband and my father are cousins, but Heidi has always been much more of an older cousin, best friend and mentor to me. When I was 7 or so, she took me for a ride in her bright red convertible and no one has ever been as cool in my eyes since that day! </p><p>While I'm not very talented behind a sewing machine, I did work for a major fabric company for three years and learned a lot about this whole wonderful world from a unique perspective. I feel it prepared me really well for the work I now get to do for the studio, and I'm so grateful to have had that opportunity. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvRv7sSrc78kKYrGCXimzHd9fPjvb8pjUlLYWZGUNPC54NDc8S3XHEoLhyphenhyphen3Qq5tjOg8Cq78dsrhLY9RplWUKrAhRLH0-vadLFmn1v0_P0ncgWDqQsR0HoIfq8K4PpeBYRhS8uM0iGEibe/s1050/daisy_doodle_remake_0277r_large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="858" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvRv7sSrc78kKYrGCXimzHd9fPjvb8pjUlLYWZGUNPC54NDc8S3XHEoLhyphenhyphen3Qq5tjOg8Cq78dsrhLY9RplWUKrAhRLH0-vadLFmn1v0_P0ncgWDqQsR0HoIfq8K4PpeBYRhS8uM0iGEibe/s320/daisy_doodle_remake_0277r_large.jpg" /></a><br /><i><a href="https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/shop/c/p/Daisy-Doodle-Pattern-x10323755.htm" target="_blank">Daisy Doodle</a></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>When Heidi asked me to pull together a list of some of my favorite quilts, I was honored and overwhelmed. They're all my favorites in some way because they were designed by one of my favorite people; so how could I choose?! I quickly got to work narrowing it down to a small set of 30. I'm still working on narrowing it down even more... But I'm so excited to share some of these with you and why I like them so much. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Q3k6SH9YfeMSjSIOY-xw0-TmIChDD8uaNQHUWvs3cqRdTNh-R210zwdOmOM0zVq1DPYI9aGzd8ty_Qm45oThi3bQEexStSBqxst_GjeAunm5fsVWt2mtGgNMBe-el36vxAfvlfRzRPCy/s576/happy_campers_0454_large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="470" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Q3k6SH9YfeMSjSIOY-xw0-TmIChDD8uaNQHUWvs3cqRdTNh-R210zwdOmOM0zVq1DPYI9aGzd8ty_Qm45oThi3bQEexStSBqxst_GjeAunm5fsVWt2mtGgNMBe-el36vxAfvlfRzRPCy/s320/happy_campers_0454_large.jpg" /></a><br /><i><a href="https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/shop/c/p/Happy-Campers-Pattern-x30916242.htm" target="_blank">Happy Little Campers</a></i></div><p><br /></p><p>One of the perks of being related to a talented designer and studio owner like Heidi, is that I'm pretty high up in line to claim quilts that need a new home. My husband has also been enjoying that benefit, and has inherited an absolutely stunning quilt that tops my favorite list; <a href="https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/shop/c/p/Pencil-Box---Digital-Download-Pattern-x38719646.htm" target="_blank">Pencil Box</a>. He's a middle school teacher and has this huge, kind of cold, classroom. Bringing in such a bright, fun quilt instantly lifted the room and made it a much more welcoming space. While his students are still learning remotely, I can't wait to hear about their reaction when they get to see it for themselves! All classrooms should have a quilt like this in my opinion. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6BXxSnKPlqHxukMHRakQHqvS7_xRHR4ObdUDJLwBCMU0q4-L7OuyLMzVl6diIkqgMoXPFuwnkWJmEOHGLQsTStpfv-FapH8kDV48Gj4dU7y6TF6RlvH_na8xGBvCSmL6vnBUYorhryoO_/s1050/pencil_box_remake_0412r_large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="868" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6BXxSnKPlqHxukMHRakQHqvS7_xRHR4ObdUDJLwBCMU0q4-L7OuyLMzVl6diIkqgMoXPFuwnkWJmEOHGLQsTStpfv-FapH8kDV48Gj4dU7y6TF6RlvH_na8xGBvCSmL6vnBUYorhryoO_/s320/pencil_box_remake_0412r_large.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>Another recipient of Heidi's generosity is her soon-to-be-born nephew, joining us in the world this coming Spring. When I found out that my husband and I were expecting our first child, we were originally planning to keep the news a secret until I entered the second trimester. However while at an early visit with my doctor, I accidentally sent a video of the baby's heartbeat to Heidi instead of my husband - Whoops! There was no explanation, no fun surprise announcement, and I felt terrible. Luckily, Heidi was thrilled to find out in such an unconventional way and has sent me a huge stack of baby quilts that are now hanging up on the walls of the nursery.

This project will always have the most special of places in my heart because it was one of the first times Heidi and I got to collaborate as co-workers in a sense. I was working in the marketing department of the previously mentioned fabric company, and part of my job was to solicit pattern ideas from quilt designers and studios to showcase new fabric collections. We had this overwhelmingly large collection of Batik solids that were being re-branded and introduced back into the market and our initial idea was to ask Heidi to produce a quilt depicting a volcano erupting in color. Heidi came back and said that design wasn't really coming together and how would we feel about a rising phoenix instead? Of course we gave her the green light, but we had no idea just how amazing the finished product would turn out. The sample she made included a delicately placed crystal in the phoenix's eye and caught everyones attention immediately. It hung on the main entrance wall for months! I've tried to lay claim to Heidi's version whenever she's done with it, but I have a feeling I'll be fighting off everyone else in our family for it... </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCMl3xKV3_0SLbPYmtTq1-FwVkWaEP9NzlDGbX8wf6zU8X8Z17T70tVF1vj8tY1_u9bloinnAYqxeix_kmRStI7cP5KZGSM5vQrCPULWfNxWgp9E4tPC5XuBxT6IBQp7sNLf3WNBcVhAUi/s1643/rising_from_the_ashes_0451_large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1643" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCMl3xKV3_0SLbPYmtTq1-FwVkWaEP9NzlDGbX8wf6zU8X8Z17T70tVF1vj8tY1_u9bloinnAYqxeix_kmRStI7cP5KZGSM5vQrCPULWfNxWgp9E4tPC5XuBxT6IBQp7sNLf3WNBcVhAUi/s320/rising_from_the_ashes_0451_large.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've had so much fun sharing these quilts with you and talking a little bit about my life and experience working with Heidi.

No worries if you “erase” part of the line, you can always re-draw it after pressing the little hearts down in place.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFwQjToZZgk8U0Pk2hwc0VAijS7cebx7KUkl1u9IJtUrNgjtTOV74ZqSPKrQl_YSXQE0VVAqJNRariyHB-Ftt4JZYNzfBsf2tx_dGaqhg0R1XGfadAd53-qrle5DhSx3BoQ2J_oeICGytI/s1200/7_Add+the+hearts+to+the+Garland.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFwQjToZZgk8U0Pk2hwc0VAijS7cebx7KUkl1u9IJtUrNgjtTOV74ZqSPKrQl_YSXQE0VVAqJNRariyHB-Ftt4JZYNzfBsf2tx_dGaqhg0R1XGfadAd53-qrle5DhSx3BoQ2J_oeICGytI/s320/7_Add+the+hearts+to+the+Garland.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Now that we have our block assembled, it’s time to pick our favorite Aurifil threads for the finishing stitch and move to the sewing machine.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxu9OKcR8Cbv799YrMQikmtgl-0VihgGauj_r_EZZyEn1_J-xk6SufGIEhRqJdeOGVuQZuDMaNN2xkmW7KUORq7IaLjDw23CDZWnbUBYKIt89Ks2ztWvg-qCTCAnXEQuFl02Cd8aqFLFS/s835/8_Picking+Threads+Image.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="834" data-original-width="835" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxu9OKcR8Cbv799YrMQikmtgl-0VihgGauj_r_EZZyEn1_J-xk6SufGIEhRqJdeOGVuQZuDMaNN2xkmW7KUORq7IaLjDw23CDZWnbUBYKIt89Ks2ztWvg-qCTCAnXEQuFl02Cd8aqFLFS/s320/8_Picking+Threads+Image.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I selected hot pink to go around the hearts to really make them pop. Since the dog fills most of the image, I wanted give the hearts some more pizzazz so they aren’t overwhelmed. I also went with a more dull, dark brown to help outline the dog. As always, I am using Aurifil Cotton threads.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Now time for my favorite part – adding the edge stitching. If you don’t do this much, I recommend drawing a heart or star shape and fusing it to scrap fabric. Practice on this piece before jumping into the main piece. Edge stitching is just like quilting;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>you have to warm up before really starting on the piece.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfzKAowZqCvseJdWOYwko7f-JAq_fS0yflkvbpdpDhD8Hc_jTcK7NkOrNIdhe8L9akUJ7xi3ibgIGI481lyn8G9zPc_eX2ZVyOm1tr3Iy5MfJ7_zE3RZsXqdH-3udzLysXL9rSUNTVybtv/s900/9_Finish+the+Edges.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfzKAowZqCvseJdWOYwko7f-JAq_fS0yflkvbpdpDhD8Hc_jTcK7NkOrNIdhe8L9akUJ7xi3ibgIGI481lyn8G9zPc_eX2ZVyOm1tr3Iy5MfJ7_zE3RZsXqdH-3udzLysXL9rSUNTVybtv/s320/9_Finish+the+Edges.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">For the final touch, add the embroidery details. I use my machine and a Triple Stitch setting to sew along the garland and toe details. You can hand embroider these as well. If you’re just starting out or don’t feel like doing embroidery, another option is to use a permanent marker like a Micron Pigma Pen and just go over the lines. Once you have drawn the lines in place, iron the drawn lines to set the ink. <i><b>NOTE: Test the pen on a scrap piece of fabric first to make sure it will not bleed.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></i></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY4yhvxpeLgphJhcfThosdfqm0KEsisTzB8UDu8AcjxB-2QkTFDOhQYnCfDKJJKf4-A_41oRUJYuBEPiePpv7-GmNeIfY0YOBOW1KBQ5dDMq0dWkpIg0JcmC79BLf5-77GIdcBLDtBTxNg/s900/10_Add+the+embroidery+Stitches.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="546" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY4yhvxpeLgphJhcfThosdfqm0KEsisTzB8UDu8AcjxB-2QkTFDOhQYnCfDKJJKf4-A_41oRUJYuBEPiePpv7-GmNeIfY0YOBOW1KBQ5dDMq0dWkpIg0JcmC79BLf5-77GIdcBLDtBTxNg/s320/10_Add+the+embroidery+Stitches.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">And just like that, you’re all finished!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVW_SOuIU35f7g1HbcQR_KCp_NEoPktDoRTq7T01o745u7Pn0wQeCafhcqKnCOn76semIKOeGeTBp0FNOzcaFZ0jhDs5v5CEWH1IX9ew7XNIRwYx7LbLrUbWYHIqk85OJecqgdQwikWrvG/s1204/11_All+Finished.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1204" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVW_SOuIU35f7g1HbcQR_KCp_NEoPktDoRTq7T01o745u7Pn0wQeCafhcqKnCOn76semIKOeGeTBp0FNOzcaFZ0jhDs5v5CEWH1IX9ew7XNIRwYx7LbLrUbWYHIqk85OJecqgdQwikWrvG/s320/11_All+Finished.jpg" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s free block.

href="https://roadtocalifornia.com/" target="_blank">Road @ Home</a>. Though we would have loved to see you in person, there are some perks to gathering virtually. Not only will you save money on travel and hotel costs, but that leaves you with more money for all the fun stuff! You also won’t need to pack up and travel with your studio, or worry about forgetting anything.

This class is to help you learn to cut and sew curves quickly and easily! You'll never pass up a curved project again. This project also has cats cradle blocks and can be made with Creative Grids Cats Cradle ruler, that takes the need for bias triangles completely out of the process. Each block is made from rectangles and squares. In this class we will spend the first half cutting out several curved blocks and go over the traditional and ruler method for the Cats Cradle blocks. The second half of the class we will sew our curves and blocks together.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQ0iW8Sz7CEVGupmnZ3dS9LPIow1QmRc0eDfmfSNpzJk6fM2NHHcH-LDd6uhzucIp-vtqDSTzCovHlez7wGu3NoZHns3rb1t40XXHWGn2kbFzqydmpYerWrusFTbJtLl4u3VzwAWlwZfd/s1050/rippling_waves_0535_large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="861" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQ0iW8Sz7CEVGupmnZ3dS9LPIow1QmRc0eDfmfSNpzJk6fM2NHHcH-LDd6uhzucIp-vtqDSTzCovHlez7wGu3NoZHns3rb1t40XXHWGn2kbFzqydmpYerWrusFTbJtLl4u3VzwAWlwZfd/s320/rippling_waves_0535_large.jpg" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><a href="https://roadtocalifornia.com/classesroad.php?action=search" target="_blank">Lecture: The Many Ways to Make HSTs, QSTs, Cats Cradle Flying Geese, and More</a></b></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i>Friday, January 22. 8am - 9:30am PST</i></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We will go over the different ways to make these basic units.

This quilt is 65" x 75" and it's made up of 30 pineapple blocks. That can take a long time to complete if you're measuring, marking and trimming everything on your own. However with the ruler method, the blocks come together in a snap and I actually find it very relaxing to work on. The ruler works for 6", 8" or 10" blocks, and we'll be creating 10" blocks for this project.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHDh_86Nu9l2W1g1tw39lx45I4WZSl1w1-mhyKdKxOq5UI5GHeAKHjevnxhiZnXfMDRqTec98gUNmDMz192KPCcwyNHxcICKvuTfJv7slRXo1qMJcp9yQWxAoi39rWnQ3zRZ8FfDC1kgn/s2048/IMG_20200930_175254.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHDh_86Nu9l2W1g1tw39lx45I4WZSl1w1-mhyKdKxOq5UI5GHeAKHjevnxhiZnXfMDRqTec98gUNmDMz192KPCcwyNHxcICKvuTfJv7slRXo1qMJcp9yQWxAoi39rWnQ3zRZ8FfDC1kgn/s320/IMG_20200930_175254.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><p>This quilt also includes a pieced triangle border, which adds a really great shape around the outside of such a textured center.

It covers both the traditional and ruler methods for making the pineapple blocks and pieced border, so I would definitely recommend watching it through before beginning on your quilt. In the video, I use a Martelli Turning Cutting Table, available through Amazon and other online retailers, because it allows you to spin the block around while trimming.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe clear=""><iframe width="490" height="245" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s3ka3k82mG0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <p><b>Now, let's get into the block assembly!</b></p><p>1. Sew the borders to the first square. When using this ruler, cut all of your strips 1 3/4" and trim down. Line up the centering square in the ruler with the center square of your beginning block. Using the ruler as a guide, turn your block as you trim off the excess part of your strip.</p><p>2. Sew on your next round of strips and line up the ruler following the instructions. Rotate and trim using the ruler as a guide. </p><p>3. After adding your strips, use the Round 3 (45 degree) trim line on the ruler, line up the white line with your sewn seam from Step 2.</p><p><i>Note: One thing that I really love about this ruler are the detailed directions that come with it. There are step by step instructions for each round that include pictures so that you're always sure you're using it properly for that step. <b>Creative Grids also offers digital versions of all their ruler instructions online, so you can always reference the instructions even if you lose track of the original printed set. </b></i></p><p>4. Add on your strips and cut using the right angle of the ruler.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTJzss7hKeMDfCINnVJnD2cfrdVclQYXLEnsnO-aS2OXaRr_TpjUaFwaj8s0AGfCRDRgkM6GXV-itG-7qQZSSZK5bhExv4WUaJPs_5QsIOtxj_nX0zNBv0wIStZpRwlJX5VgWDVqTfzFU/s2048/IMG_20200929_201307.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2001" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTJzss7hKeMDfCINnVJnD2cfrdVclQYXLEnsnO-aS2OXaRr_TpjUaFwaj8s0AGfCRDRgkM6GXV-itG-7qQZSSZK5bhExv4WUaJPs_5QsIOtxj_nX0zNBv0wIStZpRwlJX5VgWDVqTfzFU/s320/IMG_20200929_201307.jpg" /></a></div><p>5. For round five, add strips and use the 45 degree trim line.</p><p><i>Note: What's really nice about these blocks is that you're always sewing and then trimming, before sewing again. This really helps you to stay accurate between each round and creates a beautiful end result when everything lines up perfectly. </i></p><p>6. Add the next strips and look for the centering square. Then remove the edges following the 90 degree angle line. Use the dotted line for reference to ensure that your seams and edges from previous steps are all lined up correctly. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQw-AWkRK9_gPxZhymLpVwGP1qn-nVxYgWkv91lZEsyZFxlSIqVrByKH7nVjpQywZ7HewyeY4q5JlrkVWfZfxtf7rZvwjMMtnFMYLbiqLvdTeO7sZnjYZjPLQjZT7c1vTGCmHMxr_HxXX3/s2048/IMG_20200930_194638.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQw-AWkRK9_gPxZhymLpVwGP1qn-nVxYgWkv91lZEsyZFxlSIqVrByKH7nVjpQywZ7HewyeY4q5JlrkVWfZfxtf7rZvwjMMtnFMYLbiqLvdTeO7sZnjYZjPLQjZT7c1vTGCmHMxr_HxXX3/s320/IMG_20200930_194638.jpg" /></a></div><p>7.

The holiday season always seems to go by so quickly. For many, it will soon start to snow and turn their towns into magical, real-life snow globes. However, I live in the desert so if I want a white Christmas, I have to make the snowflakes all by myself! Why don’t you grab your favorite Christmas themed fabric and join me?</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I will recommend using the <a href="https://www.accuquilt.com/go-snowflakes-7.html" target="_blank">7” Snowflake die</a> and <a href="https://www.accuquilt.com/go-half-square-triangle-6-finished-square.html" target="_blank">half-square triangle die</a> from Accuquilt for this project to help it come together in a snap. These tools make it so easy, you could make enough for your friends and family as well! But if you don’t want have, or want to use, Accuquilt dies, I did write a version of this pattern with traditional cutting instructions. Both versions are available<a href="https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/free.htm" target="_blank"> here</a>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This version of Snowflakes was made using an older collection from Henry Glass Fabric, Woodland Retreat, but it’s such a simple and classic pattern that it’s really a great way to use up leftover fabric in your stash or to show off your favorite new fabric additions to your collection.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZoIVagkqp5PVCH5aMSNgoirNW7dpOW59waPdeMrEFnqlseZKpakjn4leCQ5KoFWCmd0hdzpBb_y1LVH6PtESOjBcbvH9OUsUYBH0zUqrC9LYLO6kQyaxqf38PS6bz8d9zNY7rkOxRBQ/s1600/Supplies+Shot.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="743" data-original-width="1000" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZoIVagkqp5PVCH5aMSNgoirNW7dpOW59waPdeMrEFnqlseZKpakjn4leCQ5KoFWCmd0hdzpBb_y1LVH6PtESOjBcbvH9OUsUYBH0zUqrC9LYLO6kQyaxqf38PS6bz8d9zNY7rkOxRBQ/s320/Supplies+Shot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

While Road to California is always a great event, I think it’s going to be even better this year because, drumroll please….. I’m teaching several classes!</p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This time the event is going to look a little different as it will be held virtually. Road to California is now Road at Home for this year. Though we would have loved to see you in person, there are some perks to gathering virtually. Not only will you save money on travel and hotel costs, but that leaves you with more money for all the fun stuff! You also won’t need to pack up and travel with your studio, or worry about forgetting anything. You’ll get to work comfortably from your own creative space.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And finally, classes will be recorded and posted online so that you can access them over and over as needed. You’ll get to go at your own pace and don’t have to worry about missing a step or moving through a technique too quickly. You will also get to contact me directly with any questions, concerns or just to share your creations with me. I’m so excited to hear from you!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Whether you’ve been attending Road to California for years or if this would be your first time, I really hope you’ll join me on this adventure. I’ve been planning some really fun activities and can’t wait to share them with you.<br />Hope on over to <a href="https://online.roadtocalifornia.com"><span class="s1" style="color: #dca10d;">https://online.roadtocalifornia.com</span></a> to check out more about the classes and events.

If you're new to this Blog Hop, each month a group of top designers in the quilting industry create a free 12” block. Everyone uses the same theme and color palette, and posts their patterns on the first Tuesday of the month. You then get to hop from blog to blog, learning more about each designer and collecting an assortment of free block patterns. </p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This month's theme is "Winter Celebration" and I'm excited to share our new block with you: <a href="https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/shop/Patterns/p/FREE-A-Present-for-Penny---Block-Pattern-x53081744.htm" target="_blank">A Present from Penny</a>.

It covers how to mark, cut and sew an organic curved background, perfect for appliqué blocks, as well as how to embellish the tree. Organic curve piecing is easy to do and so forgiving. If you have not done this technique before, never fear, I walk you through it in the video <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: #fcff01; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><clear><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="245" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rqjIIu3aMnI?rel=0" width="490"></iframe></clear></i></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">To start, let's cut and sew our curved background so that our adorable penguin has a place to stand. Just pin the two pieces together, draw a curvy line, cut and sew.

Sneak Peek at the Making of the Fright Night Quilt<p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px;">Happy Halloween everyone! Is this anyone else’s favorite holiday, or just mine? I love getting to be a little silly, dress-up as something fun and eat lots and lots of candy. Basically Halloween is a day where we all get to be kids again. No gifts to buy, no stress or messy kitchen, just plain old silly fun!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvZ32Z9hOIkOVaJXlTAV3iZ3qzvN7CIXWi5QJu0950u6aKO6JqY7S1MIAijPx7En9haHsIYjbzU_QMY0hGJvm-s4C9gxhojQms-OVsO_IBwgQxj24Hg21LMxukuhEqAtIJkpTO6DbhmuR/s2048/22.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvZ32Z9hOIkOVaJXlTAV3iZ3qzvN7CIXWi5QJu0950u6aKO6JqY7S1MIAijPx7En9haHsIYjbzU_QMY0hGJvm-s4C9gxhojQms-OVsO_IBwgQxj24Hg21LMxukuhEqAtIJkpTO6DbhmuR/s320/22.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>To celebrate, I wanted to give you some insight into how we made our newest Halloween quilt, Fright Night.

But I knew that the prints would also lend themselves really well to wall decor or a door quilt. Instead of just settling for one, I figured why not make a pattern for all three!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXgoKsxJkjmbW30D5DClV0TKN3ZhI6SekGGH13YEEMSPNCQpO0d09ctz6FXsFtl0NBRJ5bCgyOkp1JWrwo7s4BgCezFpXU6sOIf33StCDzC3kmCrTxymRVgV3NkwbTyVDaC3YsSQhZtqli/s1200/Photo+1_Fabrics+and+Pattern.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="716" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXgoKsxJkjmbW30D5DClV0TKN3ZhI6SekGGH13YEEMSPNCQpO0d09ctz6FXsFtl0NBRJ5bCgyOkp1JWrwo7s4BgCezFpXU6sOIf33StCDzC3kmCrTxymRVgV3NkwbTyVDaC3YsSQhZtqli/s320/Photo+1_Fabrics+and+Pattern.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The video quilt tutorial we made to accompany this project covers how to make the lap quilt, which encompasses all the techniques you'll need for assembling the smaller projects. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l4FQDUNgGhU" width="320" youtube-src-id="l4FQDUNgGhU"></iframe></div><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">To get us started, let's take a close-up look at the main panel which helped inspire all three of these fun projects.
