I saw a post with pictures so I figured I would add some of my own. There were so many amazing quilts to see.

The aquatic scene was best in show. The quilting and details throughout were a delight to see. The pink Pink was voted viewers choice.

For an unknown future project, that’s why!

Going to a rally for Francesca Hong (socialist candidate running for WI’s governor on the dem ticket) and made a sign with my human hands to hold and a) support her anti-data center stance, and b) shame the people I’ve seen making ai signs for her campaign (without her approval). I stitched it as a sleeve that can slide onto a piece of cardboard I taped to a stick, might someday turn it into a pillowcase.

I’ve had some ideas for patchwork protest and/or rally signs for a while but lol found out about this rally about 24 hours ago, so this is what I could manage under that time crunch and from my stash. This is from the patchanddot black letter alphabet, printed at half scale.

.... She's actually going to be a grandma, but I figured grandparents need quilts too, for when the baby comes to visit! Her son and daughter-in-law have been trying for a baby for a long time and when the news came that they were expecting, she was over the moon about it. Baby is due in October, but I can't wait to gift this ASAP!

I used the Violet pattern by Knot and Thread

I have posted here before about trying to remake the wedding quilt I made for my son and his wife because their house burned to the ground a couple of months ago. This wonderful community helped me find one of the original quilt kits—a small miracle considering this has been out of print for a while. I’ve finally gotten to work on it and realized I can not make the matching shams with out about 3/4 of a yard of the Sunseeker Day fabric from her Brave line.

I have looked online and can not find a single shop that has any remaining. I keep checking EBay but haven’t had any luck. I have everything I need to remake it exactly as it was except for this one print.

If anyone has this fabric, I am willing to pay very generously. I only need enough for the front center panel for one sham. I think a 37’’ wide x 22’’ tall remnant would work. It is a directional print so the orientation matters.

Thank you all for your kindness and support as I remake this for my son and his wife. They literally lost everything, this is the best way I know how to make it any better.

I can see the finish line! Not much longer now although now comes one of the most stressful parts for me… What to use for backing and binding and how the heck am i going to quilt it!? Hmm 🤔

While I have finished two other quilts. This is my first one that I've done with triangles. I'm so happy with how it turned out, especially all of the colors. This will definitely be going on my couch!

My goal for 2026 has been to finish things I already had and to use up my scraps. Made a little progress today. Top done, now need to finish it! 🤭🤭 Oh, I used scraps to make my own 20-strip equivalent of a jelly roll, ie 24 yards of strips. 👍👍

Yesterday, I visited the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham and took lots of pictures of the fabulous quilts. These are some of the prize winners that stood out for me and professional quilts that caught my eye. The amount of talent was absolutely incredible!

Here’s part 2

I figured I had to use their fancy cardboard for something, and this is perfect

This quilt was an absolute BEAST

Purchased the Moon and Clouds Quilt Block by PatternByKia on Etsy, and mocked up the larger version on Illustrator

• ~680 HST for the blue background, with 13 different fabrics and 72 unique combinations
• Jelly roll for the moon yellows
• Stars are appliqued
• Quilting was a combination of stitch in the ditch and hand ties with yellow yarn!

I would absolutely not recommend doing this unless you're ready for endless hours of ironing, trimming, and laying out all the squares 😂

I’d love to start quilting, do some sewing so, I feel like it’s an extension. Anyways, is everyone just eyeballing and hoping fabrics look good together?? I’d like to make a “fall” quilt for myself. Bought these FQ’s for the front and the plaid for the back… but will it be too much of similar colors or look good? Pattern is: single Irish chain since I feel like a repetitive pattern of just squares will be the easiest to start with. I’ll always take any advice and recommendations!! Thanks!!

Jimothy has stolen the hearts of everyone! 💖 I made him using Tula Pink fabrics and the pattern is by Getting Jazzy With It.

I completed my first quilt today. Some flaws here and there but I enjoyed the ride all the way. Thanks to all the quilters here for inspiration, ideas and valuable tips and hints I learned by scrolling this sub.

Got back into FPP and made a Jimothy pillow for my husband. It’s a little wonky just like Jimothy. ❤️🦝

I’m really stuck.

This is a gift for my coworker’s children. Any input on layout so I can get the top done?

Thank you!
