Machine Quilting Shining Brightly: A Color Block Quilt

Do you see fabric scraps everywhere?

This is my fifth year of publishing monthly scrap quilting patterns called Color Block Quilts.  In short, I cut all of my scraps into 2 1/2" squares, group them into color families, stitch them into 16-patches, and then stich them into simple quilts.

This year, all of the patterns are designed for babies!  I made this decision in the summer of 2024 before I knew I'd have a new grandbaby this year (June) and another one coming December/January!  (Build it and they will come)?

My latest finish is named Shining Brightly.  All of the quilts for 2025 are grouped together in a free (for now) class.  Once you "buy" the class (for free), it's yours forever even if a price is eventually attached.

This quilt is great for my hometown sports fans (Go Steelers!) but would look great in whatever colors you choose.

I decided to custom quilt this because I was listening to a good audiobook and wanted something to do while listening.

Head to the class for the pattern and machine quilting tutorial.

Get stitching, because you never know when a baby (or two) will enter your life!
