Whether you make an Easter quilt, or Easter basket pillowcases...here's a fun list of Easter pattern links..not just for quilts, and quilt blocks but a few super cute Easter crafts, too!

And remember making an 'Easter' quilt can be as simple as making some four patches.... and added some bits and pieces ...just from some scraps you might already have....in bunny, chick, or any pretty Easter fabric! I used some scraps in Beatrix Potter prints, as shown above, and made this cute but easy, baby quilt and included a little soft fabric book for a quick gift! This little baby quilt is in flannel, and these where all the scraps I had in these colors..so no outside borders, and very simple style..but it is soft and special and still so cute! And best of all, the sweet little one who received it,

A Gaggle of Flying Geese: Links and Tutorials

$

Flying geese have been dated by Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns  as having been first published back to 1894, when the Ohio Farmer featured them on their “woman’s pages.” 

Now, 120 years later—these simple little units are used in all kinds of quilts, from traditional to modern to improvisational and the most liberated of wonky quilting! (check out my own wonky liberated flying geese at the very bottom of this post!

Here are some fun suggestions and links for making flying geese and using them in your own quilting.  The tips and ideas are free and all images are either linked to the book they came from at Martingale, or free usage ones from google and facebook, or belong to me and my own projects.

And shown above: Some of my own projects from my 3D Baby Quilt  where 3D flying geese become "interactive" pinwheels, to my free pieced art quilts, to three tote bags and more!

If you're looking for great flying geese ideas..there are so many styles to choose from..and ways to create them.  Here are a few fun and creative ways with tips and techniques along the way!

1. Traditional Technique: for quilters who like to use it up and make it do.

2. Flip, Flip, Finish: for quilters who enjoy a good ol’ chain-piecing veg-out.


3. Fast and Furious: for quilters who like to finish fast—times four.


4. Paper-Pieced Geese: for quilters who wish to piece with the utmost precision.
The charts below each of the first three techniques give finished-unit sizes along with dimensions for the cut pieces. We’ve also provided a paper-pieced flying-geese pattern to download and print for practice.

Fly down to the bottom of this post to see how other quilters use flying-geese patchwork in their quilts. And then let your own flying-geese quilts take wing!




Traditional Technique: Classic Flying Geese
From Cyndi Walker, author of Pretty Patchwork Quilts
Note: instructions will yield 2″ x 4″ flying-geese units (finished).

To make one flying-geese unit: Cut a 2 7/8″ square of fabric in half diagonally to yield two small triangles. Cut a 5 1/4″ square of a contrasting fabric in half diagonally to yield two large triangles, reserving one for another use. Sew one small triangle to one diagonal edge of the large triangle; press toward the small triangle. Sew the second small triangle to the other diagonal edge of the large triangle to make a flying-geese unit; press toward the small triangle.

Cyndi used her traditionally pieced flying-geese patchwork to make the blue flower points in her quilt “Moonflower.”

Flip, Flip, Finish: Flippy Corners Flying Geese
From Cathy Wierzbicki, author of Twosey-Foursey Quilts
Note: instructions will yield 2″ x 4″ flying-geese units (finished).



A “flippy corner” is a casual way to sew half-square triangles onto squares or rectangles without actually handling a triangle shape—cheater triangles, so to speak. This technique can be applied to a number of commonly used units and blocks. A good example is the flying-geese unit.
Traditionally, a flying-geese unit calls for one quarter-square triangle and two half-square triangles. If you prefer, however, you can make flying-geese units using the flippy-corner technique, as I did for the quilt pattern “Splash Dance.”
To make finished-size 2″ x 4″ units, substitute a 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle for the quarter-square triangle and two 2 1/2″ squares for the two half-square triangles. Make the unit as shown in the following steps.
1. Draw a diagonal line on the back of each 2 1/2″ square.

2. With right sides together, align one marked square with one edge of the 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle as shown. Stitch one thread width to the outside of the diagonal line.

3. Cut 1/4″ beyond the stitching line as shown. Press the resulting triangle open and the seam allowance toward the triangle.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other edge of the rectangle to complete the unit.

Fast and Furious: Four-at-a-Time Flying Geese
From Carrie Nelson, author of Another Bite of Schnibbles
Note: instructions will yield 2″ x 3 1/2″ flying-geese units (finished).

Here are the steps for my favorite, no-special-ruler-required method of making flying-geese units. For each set of four matching flying-geese units, you’ll need one large square and four matching small squares. The large square will become the large triangle in each unit and the four small squares will become the small side triangles in each unit.
Let’s use a 4 1/4″ large square and four 2 3/8″ small squares to try this technique.
1. On the wrong side of each of the four small squares, draw a diagonal line from corner to corner using a permanent pen, pencil, or chalk marker.

2. With right sides together, place two marked squares on opposite corners of the large square. The points of the small squares will overlap just a little bit and the drawn line should extend across the large square from corner to corner as shown.

3. Stitch a scant 1/4″ seam allowance on both sides of the drawn lines. Cut the squares apart on the drawn lines. Press the seam allowances toward the small triangles.
Patchwork flying geese--four at a time method 3
4. With right sides together, place one of the remaining marked squares on the corner of each piece. The drawn line should extend from the point of the corner to the point between the two small triangles. Stitch a scant 1/4″ seam allowance on both sides of the drawn line. Cut the pieces apart on the drawn line. Press the seam allowances toward the small triangles. You’ll have four flying-geese units. The units will measure 2″ x 3 1/2″.

Paper-Pieced Geese: The Ultimate in Accuracy
From Karen Costello Soltys, author of Bits and Pieces


As Karen says:  "I’ve always been drawn to patchwork designs that form a diagonal pattern such as Flying Geese, but piecing many little triangles and setting triangles can be tedious with traditional cutting and sewing methods. I turned to foundation piecing to make my “Christmas Goose” quilt quite manageable. You can’t beat foundation piecing for accuracy—getting all those little triangles to be perfectly pointy and match up with those in the next block is a breeze."


Download and print these paper-pieced flying-geese patterns to practice your skills. The pdf includes patterns for making 1 flying-geese unit, as well as rows of 2, 3, and 4 units. For instructions on how to paper piece, you can visit our How to Quilt page and download the "Paper-Foundation Piecing: How to Make Paper-Pieced Quilt Patterns" pdf.


Karen used her flying-geese units to make a small Christmas quilt—the perfect size for a table topper or wall quilt:

The Magic Quilting Number 1.41

$
0
0







All month, one of my online groups has been discussing the number 1.41. It turns out that this little number is really quite magical.  And it is incredibly magical, as well as useful, for quilters.

Simply put, it is the square root of any square. And to find the need requirements for turning blocks or quilt blocks on point, one simply multiplies or divides by 1.41.

Let's say you have a five inch block. You want to put it on point, but you don't know what size to make the little triangle piece that will fill the on point shape you have just created and turn it into a square.

Even the most seasoned of quilters don't always know this technique. When I made the quilt shown above, without a pattern, without a plan ..just winged it...about 7 years ago...none of my books told me exactly what to do or how to do it.

I literally used my imagination to cut a shape that fit. Oh, my goodness! Was I nuts or what?  And while it is hardly a perfect little quilt. It was made as quickly as I could make it and given to a young couple getting married on a magical little island in my homestate of Alaska.  The same magical little island with its magical little shrine that I got married in, decades ago!

I had to make them something special. And of course, after surviving the quilts creation, without a pattern or directions...

As they say:

"When you know better, you do better."

Here is how the magic of 1.41 works.

Quilts with blocks set on point have triangular openings around their outer edges where each diagonal row of blocks ends.

You can assemble triangular half-blocks to fill in the spaces, but quilters often use large fabric triangles instead.

Two types and sizes of triangles are used to fill in the blanks. One size fits into the gaps along the top, bottom and sides of the quilt. Four smaller triangles are used to create the quilt's corners.

The triangles all appear to be cut in exactly the same way, but their structure is very different:

Corner triangles are half-square triangles, created by cutting a square in half once diagonally to produce two triangles with the straight grain on their short edges. The stretchy bias along with the longest edge, the edge that is sewn to corner blocks.

Setting triangles are quarter-square triangles, created by cutting a square in half twice diagonally to produce four triangles with the straight grain on their long edges. The stretchy bias runs along short edges and each short edge is sewn to the side of a block in the finished quilt..

In order to minimize stretch, it's best to assemble quilt units with the fabric's straight of grain along edges that will be on the outer perimeter of a block or entire quilt, so that there's less chance of stretch as you work.

If setting triangles were cut like corner triangles, their long edges would be cut on the stretchy bias, making the outer edges of a quilt stretchy -- those edges sometimes tend to stretch out of shape a bit anyway as you finish the project.




Cutting triangles to fit a space:

T
o cut two corner triangles, you divide a parent square once diagonally.

Start by calculating the finished length of a block's diagonal.

Now, here is where you use the magic number of 1.41


Finished block size x 1.41 = finished diagonal


Divide the answer, the finished diagonal, by 2. Add 0.875" and round up to the nearest 1/8" to find your parent block size.


Cut two parent blocks that size and divide each in half once diagonally to make a total of four corner squares.

Corner Squares Example - for 10" finished size quilt blocks

10" block size x 1.41 = , 14.10" finished diagonal

Parent square size = 14.10" / 2 = 7.05" + .875" = 7.925, round up to 8"



Corner Triangle Parent Squares for Common Quilt Block Sizes:


4" blocks: use 3-3/4" parent squares


6" blocks: use 5-1/8" parent squares


9" blocks: use 7-1/4" parent squares


10" blocks: use 8" parent squares


12" blocks: use 9-3/8" parent squares


14" blocks: use 10-3/4" parent squares


15" blocks: use 11-1/2" parent squares



To Cut Setting Triangles:

 
We'll cut a parent square twice diagonally to produce four setting triangles with the fabric's straight grain on their long edges. Use this formula for setting triangles:


Finished block size x 1.41 = finished length required on the triangle's longest edge.
(Round up to nearest 1/8")


Cut a square with sides that are 1-1/4" longer than the number in Step 1.


Cut the square in half twice diagonally.


Setting Triangle Parent Squares for Common Quilt Block Sizes 


4" blocks: use 7" parent squares


6" blocks: use 9-3/4" parent squares


9" blocks: use 14" parent squares


10" blocks: use 15-3/8" parent squares


12" blocks: use 18-1/4" parent squares


15" blocks: use 22-1/2" parent squares


Setting Blocks Squares of fabric placed between blocks are called setting blocks. Cut them to match the unfinished size of your quilt blocks.


Decimal to Fraction Chart - 1/8" 

 
0.125 = 1/8"
0.250 = 2/8" or 1/4"
0.375 = 3/8"
0.500 = 4/8" or 2/4" or 1/2"
0.625 = 5/8"
0.75 = 6/8" or 3/4"
0.875 = 7/8"

In honor and in memory, I am offer my own free patriotic quilt block and quilt patterns for your free use.  Please check out all of the wonderful quilt inspiration, ideas, links and tutorials.


My own father, and four of his brothers, served in World War II. Their family was known as a Five Star Family...five members of one family, all in various Armed Forces, left our childhood home on Douglas Island, Alaska to serve their country with military service. Four brothers returned home to their parents, one was killed in action, and did not.

It taught all of us about pride and honor and service to our country. But it also taught us forgiveness for others who practice the same pride, honor, and service to their countries as we learned to forgive the loss of our son, brother, and uncle's life.

Honor your loved ones, honor our country, make a  patriotic quilt filled with honor, pride, and service.





In honor of our soldiers (both at home and abroad) our ever-present patriotism and in the spirit of good work and service that so many do in our country..... here's my collection of over 100 links to free quilt or quilt block patterns. In includes some that are traditional, some that date back to the Civil War, and some amazing and wonderful stars, stripes, flags and even service banners!

Preemie and Bereavement Quilts,Shown above: my own simple 10" to 15" quilts with ribbons sewn on for ties. If you want the bottom to fold up as shown, make them a larger size or sew in another simple square section, folded into a triangle shape at one corner to make a little pocket-pouch.

Many websites offer a variety of fetal demise pouches, wraps, blankets, or simple quilts or garment. Mothers are often offended by the medical term of "Fetal Demise."
It is technically a miscarriage, or a still birth, of a non-viable fetus or baby.
Sad and and often terrible words for the loss of a tiny little whether it is prior to 12 weeks or 16 weeks gestation of in the second or third trimester...or even for some....delivered at birth.
My apologies if I repeat the medical terms that often sound so callous to those who are grieving, but they are the words that many use as they search for these patterns.

Preemie and Bereavement Quilts,Shown above: my own simple 10" to 15" quilts with ribbons sewn on for ties. If you want the bottom to fold up as shown, make them a larger size or sew in another simple square section, folded into a triangle shape at one corner to make a little pocket-pouch.

Many websites offer a variety of fetal demise pouches, wraps, blankets, or simple quilts or garment. Mothers are often offended by the medical term of "Fetal Demise."
It is technically a miscarriage, or a still birth, of a non-viable fetus or baby.
Sad and and often terrible words for the loss of a tiny little whether it is prior to 12 weeks or 16 weeks gestation of in the second or third trimester...or even for some....delivered at birth.
My apologies if I repeat the medical terms that often sound so callous to those who are grieving, but they are the words that many use as they search for these patterns.

Project Linus was so nice about my lists! And yes, I
am proud to make and donate quilts to many causes but this was so nice to discover from Project Linus:

May 17, 2011 ...With Hearts and Hands (5/17/2011)
Yes, this is a blog site, but do not let that fool you! Quilter Michele Bilyeu has gathered a GIGANTIC listing of links ... Always the newest quilting fabric from the top designers and .


Michele Bilyeublogs With Heart and Hands as she shares a quilting journey through her life in Salem, Oregon and Douglas, Alaska and all of her AAQI Quilting. Sharing thousands of links to Free Quilt and Quilt Block Patterns and encouraging others to join in the Liberated Quilting Challenge and make or donate small art quilts to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) Help us change the world, one little quilt at a time!

In honor of the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) and their  announcement that they will reach their $1,000,000 goal in 2013, and my having reached my own goal of 75 quilts, made and donated t AAQI in the past 2.5 years. And especially, because it is so lovely to be honored as the creator of AAQI's # 15,000 quilt!

I am, once again, offering the links to Martha Wolfersberger's free miniature quilt pattern, again...Cranberry Relish!  This little quilt and its pattern was created for AAQI and Martha's generosity in sharing the free pattern was so wonderful!  Enjoy!


AAQI will have reached its goal of a last, great, sprint to the finish, final year funding goal of $1,000,000 by the end of this year. That is a huge funding for Alzheimer's research with the sale of over 15,000 quilts in just 7 years. All funded by generous small format quilt donations by quilters and purchases by quilters and quilt lovers, alike!

Please thank Ami Simms, AAQI's founder and director, the quilters who have created and donated all of these small format quilts, and Marth Wolfersberger, herself, who has made a stupendous number of donation quilts for this cause.....by buying a quilt, today.


                    All profits from the sale of all quilts fund Alzheimer's research funding!!!

    Preemie and Bereavement Quilts,Shown above: my own simple 10" to 15" quilts with ribbons sewn on for ties. If you want the bottom to fold up as shown, make them a larger size or sew in another simple square section, folded into a triangle shape at one corner to make a little pocket-pouch.

    Many websites offer a variety of fetal demise pouches, wraps, blankets, or simple quilts or garment. Mothers are often offended by the medical term of "Fetal Demise."
    It is technically a miscarriage, or a still birth, of a non-viable fetus or baby.
    Sad and and often terrible words for the loss of a tiny little whether it is prior to 12 weeks or 16 weeks gestation of in the second or third trimester...or even for some....delivered at birth.
    My apologies if I repeat the medical terms that often sound so callous to those who are grieving, but they are the words that many use as they search for these patterns.

    Preemie and Bereavement Quilts,Shown above: my own simple 10" to 15" quilts with ribbons sewn on for ties. If you want the bottom to fold up as shown, make them a larger size or sew in another simple square section, folded into a triangle shape at one corner to make a little pocket-pouch.

    Many websites offer a variety of fetal demise pouches, wraps, blankets, or simple quilts or garment. Mothers are often offended by the medical term of "Fetal Demise."
    It is technically a miscarriage, or a still birth, of a non-viable fetus or baby.
    Sad and and often terrible words for the loss of a tiny little whether it is prior to 12 weeks or 16 weeks gestation of in the second or third trimester...or even for some....delivered at birth.
    My apologies if I repeat the medical terms that often sound so callous to those who are grieving, but they are the words that many use as they search for these patterns.

    Disappearing 9 Patch, 16 Patch and Twist/Turn Variations




    The wonderful " Disappearing Nine Patch"seems to a technique in continual process of new and more involved variations.  Simply put, a nine patch block is created and then sliced apart in a myriad of different cuts or with different color arrangements so it literally disappears and is replaced by four smaller units.

    And now of course, we have disappearing 4 patches, 9 patches, and on and on with so many fun and varied improvisations.  But just to have a look, check out some of  the images and links that I have discovered and create new and easy blocks and quilts of your own!

    Let's start with some fun and simple 4 Packs as I share links to some tutorials and some different variations from what you might hink of as a D4P..or Disapearing 4 Patch, as well!

    Streak of Lightning: A Totally Tubular Pattern

              Streak of Lightning Photo Tutorial
    by Michele Bilyeu

     



     

    Needed to make a 42" quilt:

    Quilt Top:  
    Eight 4 1/2" strips-2 each of 4 different fabrics 
    Four 1 1/2" strips...inner border
     Four 4 1/2"strips..outer border 
    Backing Fabric: 47" x 47"

     Instructions:Cut the strips for top as described above!  

     
    Then......1. Arrange strips in order of your fabric choices.... 
    1 to 4, then repeat. 
    1234..... then 1234..... 
    for a total of eight strips.
     
      
    2. Sew strips, in order, together from selvedge to selvedge. Then trim top edge, as shown below.
     










    Press first seam up, then down and so on, alternating seam pressing direction. I'm showing the top pressing, in the photo, of course! I'm showing the top, here, but do the other' seam' side, first of course!
                                                                                     
    3. Sew top edge of pieced strips to bottom edge of pieced strips, creating a tube.    








    4. Lay tube out, carefully lining up all of your seams. You must be sure it is straight, as you will be cutting through multiple seam layers.   














     5. Cut eight 4 1/2" strips. These will be actually creating your blocks!  













    6. Now..believe it or not, use a seam ripper (we actually used a new pair of batter powered 'trimmers' or 'groomer's but.... affectionately known as 'nose hair clippers, to zip through our seams in record time! 

      7.  Moving down the rows, remove the seam between block 1 and block 2 on the second strip. Then remove the seam between block 2 and 3 on the next set..and so on.You are simply using the streak of lightning diagonal pattern to remove the little seams to create your larger pattern! 

    8.    You should now have 8 strip sets, each 8 blocks long.
    If laid out correctly, in order of the fabrics, it will make a diagonal design. Check the patterning, row by row, as above.






    Now, again...double check each diagonal row to make sure you maintain the patterning...before you stitch the rows together!!! Any irregularity is because you goofed in your previous cutting. Check the diagonal pattern, and clip and reposition to correct yourself if you goofed ;)



     9. Press again and finish your quilt, as usual!











    To finish your quilt:
      Add strips for inner border, (measurements suggested above in list of strips)  Add strips for outer border (measurements suggested above in list of strips)
     
    Pin batting between quilt top and backing fabric,  quilt and bind your quilt as usual!




     Once you figure out just how truly easy this technique is, you can create multiple little 'Streak of Lightning' quilts using this tubular method, very quickly and efficiently!Have fun!

    Disappearing 9 Patch, 16 Patch and Twist/Turn Variations

    The wonderful " Disappearing Nine Patch"seems to a technique in continual process of new and more involved variations.  Simply put, a nine patch block is created and then sliced apart in a myriad of different cuts or with different color arrangements so it literally disappears and is replaced by four smaller units. Apparently, Karin Hallaby, wrote a book in 2002 called "Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts, which included a Magic Nine Patch quilt made using the same technique that's so popular today.

    Nancy Brenan Daniel also wrote a book called Disappearing Nine Patch in 2002 but apparently it is quite different from what we are calling that style today.  Eventually, an online blog by Helen Bailey, featured a tutorial about her own use of the disappearing nine patch but she referred to it by a different name. The same technique has been called Tossed Nine Patch (by Eleanor Burns) and (possibly) 9 to 4 by other quilters and authors. In my quilt guild, we use a hand drawn pattern and call it 'Fractured 9 Patch'...it all works, and they are basically all the same but variations come with color selections, as well as placement of those colors.

    And now of course, we have disappearing 4 patches, 9 patches, and on and on with so many fun and varied improvisations.  But just to have a look, check out some of  the images and links that I have discovered and create new and easy blocks and quilts of your own!

    Let's start with some fun and simple 4 Packs as I share links to some tutorials and some different variations from what you might hink of as a D4P..or Disapearing 4 Patch, as well!

    "Purposely uneven triangles, giving each block a different personality.
    All Shoo Fly blocks have the same star fabric in the center, which provided the color scheme.
    I

    Want to try some letters but not sure how to start?


    Check out some liberated quilting of the alphabet from other quilters in the past: Dori Hawks created a liberated letters Alphabet Quilt
    back in 2003. Dori foundation pieced, and many find it helpful to start
    there, at least by looking at the lines and of course, it ends up
    'looking' liberated.


    Become even more liberated with Tonya Ricucci's creative approach her new book Word Play.

    Tonya sets the standard for making pieced letters, words, and quilts by
    simply getting the idea on graph paper but cutting out, and free-piecing
    the letters! Her books shows just how to do it!



    Want to see Lynne putting her words into action as she makes the "Red Letter Alphabet"?

    Check them all out at her site, or just look up the letter you're having trouble with for other ways of making them..one by one.



    Red Letter Quilt Along by Lynne Tyler of

    The Patchery Menagerie



    However, if you need that in between place for the concepts, you can
    look at or try other 'starter' ideas to get you going. Again,
    foundation or paper pieced....but try just looking at it and making it
    without using any kind of pattern for the letters:

    Love Bugs




    There  is something extra special about receiving a handmade Valentine. These  Valentine ladybugs are a cute way to let someone know how much you care.  It's a fun and easy project that even the kids can help out with. You  can make one or a whole class set of these adorable love bugs. It's okay  to be creative with the colors. This is a great way to use up some of  the bits of scrapbooking paper you may already have.

    Materials

    • 1 piece of white cardstock to print the heart template

    • 1 piece of colored cardstock

    • 1 piece of coordinating patterned paper

    • 2 small brads - I used heart shaped ones, but plain brass ones work fine

    • pencil

    • scissors

    • black pen or marker

    • 1/8 inch hole punch

    • 2 small googly eyes and glue (optional)


    Directions can be found here:  Love Bug Valentine's
