Hi all!
If you're like me, you
love seeing other people's finished projects almost as much as your
own! Of course, it always makes me a little green, but hey,
green is my favorite color! LOL
Ruth just finished an
awesome quilt that is an excellent way to feature a collection of fat
quarters, or just use up a bunch of your stash.
http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=26645
Ruth
started with an AMY BUTLER SOUL BLOSSOMS fat quarter bundle from
Westminster Fabrics.
She used a "hinge
& flip" technique of "quilt as you go".
This technique uses finishing
strips to cover the seams that join the individually quilted blocks.
As well as this pattern,
we carry several books
that have complete step-by-step instructions for a variety of
QUILT-AS-YOU-GO techniques.
Check out Marti
Michell's MACHINE QUILTING IN SECTIONS for 6 different "quilt as
you go" techniques and lots of other tips.

on-line here:

Another fun book, CRAZY
QUILT SHORTCUTS, also uses the finishing strips technique to
join blocks that are already fully quilted. Check out the book

Another
great quilt came in this week. Mary's sister Kathy solved the SODUKO
PUZZLE and stitched it. Her sister Helen quilted it on her
long-arm. But this small quilt could easily be a QUILT AS
YOU GO project, using the small sashings as the finishing strips.
Again, check out the
CRAZY SHORTCUT method VIDEO by clicking here:
SASHING
YOUR CRAZY SHORTCUT QUILTS
This quilt comes packed
like a giant CANDY
BAR - a SODUKO puzzle comes tucked inside with 81 fabric square,
ready to be used to solve the puzzle. Make 9 blocks and you're
almost done!
What a fun SODUKO
project to do with a friend, of any age, quilter or otherwise!

A lot of you liked Mary's version of Marti Michell's GOOD
NEIGHBORS pattern, this month's Marti's Club feature. Mary, an avid
gardener, created a darling quilt of BRIGHT BIRDHOUSES!
She got it finished with
some "light quilting" and it is ready to hang!

KIT here:

Here comes MARCH!
Will it enter as a LION or a LAMB? The past 2 days have been
pretty "LION", so who knows?!
St. Patrick's Day is
celebrated March 17. Even if you're not a bit IRISH, this little
quilt will put a smile on your face and in your EYES!

Very
popular! We've cut all we can cut now, and when these last few
are gone, they're gone!
Mary's small LITTLE CLOVER
quilt kit, her own design, you can only get it here at
Charlotte's Sew Natural!
The
instructions are included in the kit featuring gorgeous Hoffman
fabrics.
Celebrating SPRING and
St. Patrick's Day, this little quilt fits perfectly on the wire TABLE
STANDS, or lays flat on a table or can be pinned to the wall.
Or slip a pillow in and cheer up a chair!
