Splendid colour tips for quilters: Using multicoloured, patterned fabrics

Image
There are quilters who avoid using many multicoloured, patterned fabrics together because combining them feels daunting. Many address this challenge by purchasing curated sets of multicoloured fabrics because the designer has already done the matching. However, combining a variety of fabrics from a variety of designers does not have to be a problem. In this splendid colour tips post, you will find my quilt thinking on the topic of multicoloured, patterned fabrics: what to watch out for when using many such fabrics together and how to use them successfully. What to watch out for when using multicoloured, patterned fabrics Your worst enemy is chaos – unless you are looking for a chaotic effect. My process when making the Goodwill Among Neighbours quilt is an example of how multicoloured patterned fabrics may not always want to play together just like that. I deliberately chose pretty strange combinations of fabrics to some of the blocks thinking that a simple, geometric block wil...

vetoketju pussukkaan! 6 vinkkiä vetoketjun ompelemiseen.

Image
Haluaisitko ommella vetoketjupussukan, mutta vetoketjun kiinnittäminen tuntuu pelottavalta? Ehkä olet kokeillut vetoketjun ompelemista housuihin tai takkiin ja todennut sen vaikeaksi? Kannattaa rohkaistua! Pussukkaan tai laukkuun on paljon helpompi ommella vetoketju siististi, koska kappaleet ovat suorat ja kankaaksi voit valita joustamattoman puuvillan. Löysin aikoinaan erinomaisesti kuvitetun pussukan ompeluohjeen, jonka avulla opin tekemään vetoketjupussukan. Olin varmaankin tavallista pöljempi ompelija, koska minulle oli ylitsepääsemättömän vaikeaa tajuta, miten simppelisti tällainen vetoketju kiinnittyi! Valaistuin aikoinaan netistä löytämäni ohjeen ansiosta, mutta huomasin nyt katsoessani, että blogi on täynnä ärsyttävää mainontaa ja ennen niin hyvää tutoriaalia on vaikea katsoa. Päätin siis päivittää suositun blogikirjoitukseni, jonka julkaisin jo 1.9.2010. Muinoin löytämässäni ohjeessa oli erityisen hyvää se, ettei siinä lähdetty liikkeelle tietyn mittaisesta vetoket...

They can’t all be winners: 5 quilting projects I wouldn’t make again

Image
A few weeks ago, I came across a blog post where a quilter shared a finish. She mentioned being vaguely unhappy with it even though there wasn’t anything wrong with the blocks and the design. I’m pretty sure that most of us have experienced something similar. Looking at a quilty finish and thinking “this may be okay, but I am so done with this: never again”! Of my around 640 quilting projects, these are five that I would not re-make. I’ve analysed the core reasons and shared my learnings. Spectrolite: Problems all along Many years ago, I enjoyed a fun sew-together Saturday with my quilting guild. One of us shared a clever sew-and-cut method for creating a quilt block. I’d seen a quilt that she had made and oh, it looked so good! I wanted to make something as nice as that one! Because I didn’t quite understand value contrast back then, many blocks had too much of it while others didn’t have enough. I used patterned fabrics which read darker than I thought. But the begi...
