Hello everybody,

Here is an easy block to make with templates or without templates (by replacing the "flying geese" by two half square triangles).

This block is made up of 4 shapes that can be chain cut and chain pieced, watch the video for some more information about it.

I will be preparing a PDF if the video is not enough.

You can use this block to make different designs, the same background for all the blocks with different colors for the stars, in the PDF I will make different suggestions that can be used.

You can follow my progression on my instagram anytime (alice_and_co_designs) or join my facebook group: Designing a Quilt Together

I will get some more projects together.

Have a nice week

Hello Everybody,

I watched the movie A Star is Born and thought that would be a cool idea to look into stars in the quilt world, there are lots of stars, that can either be made from pointy diamonds or just with half square triangles and quarter square triangles.

I had a closer look to 3 star blocks that are famous in the quilt world, and made a little video to show them to you.

I am sure you can come up with some other ones, do leave me a comment with there names and I can prepare some quilt tops with them.

Have a nice week.

Hello every one,

I did a Live on Facebook for this subject, but I thought it would be nice to turn it into a video with examples.

I love traditional blocks, but adding a little bit of eccentricity to it can be fun, and so I found a useful way to put it into action by just placing the motifs randomly on a nine patch block.

Hope this video gives you lots of ideas for you futur quilt tops.

Hello,

I have prepared a new video that will take you through the color aspects of the fabric.

The subject of this video came to me as I was browsing through a social network, I saw a quilt top that unfortunately had really nice color choices but had a big mistake in it.

You will understand what it was in the video.

When starting a quilt it is important to think about how the colors are going to interact with each other.

Colors behave differently with each other. 

So find out all about it in this new video.

Have a nice weekend.
