Top Notch Quilt in Reverie Fabrics

Today I'm sharing another version of the Top Notch quilt pattern - this is the Ruby Star Society Reverie Top Notch quilt.

Reverie is a new line (heading to quilt shops in October!) from Ruby Star Society designed by Melody Miller. It has a beautiful combination of warm and cool prints and for this quilt I chose to mix both together in one quilt. 

Top Notch patterns are available in my shop here

How To Sew A Partial Seam

 Hello and welcome to any new visitors!

Today is my turn on the Back to School Blog Hop - a chance for all of us to learn some great new tips, tricks, and techniques from 16 different quilters.

Today I'll be sharing a piecing technique that's a great one to have in your tool box. At first it might be a little intimidating but once you learn it, it really unlocks a lot of great block ideas and patterns. 

Have you heard of partial seams? Partial seams are not difficult - the best way for me to explain partial seams is to show you...I'll step you through it, using a tutorial for this 6 1/2" Wrap Around quilt block. 

And if you'd like the full Wrap Around quilt pattern scroll to the bottom for a link to download.

I've been working away stitching up several samples of this pattern and I can't wait to share them all with you. This bright and bold version is the one on the pattern cover. 

Top Notch is a one-block quilt - there's minimal cutting and these blocks are super quick to stitch up.

Star Trails Quilt in Nantucket Summer Fabrics

I'm trying to get caught up on sharing more of my finished quilts, and I figured it's about time I shared a little more about the cover quilt for the Star Trails quilt pattern. 

I've shared a pink scrappy version here, and a red white & blue version here if you'd like to see them- but THIS is the one that completely stole my heart and gets to be the cover model for the pattern.
