Variable Fan for Cheryl

The next photo below is the key. This way you don't have to cut wedge shapes. For this example I used 2" strips, but sometimes I use 1" strips. That looks pretty cool. 

Just stitch and flip, by eye.

When your block is bigger than the ruler, trim. Of course you could use any size ruler, and any shape. Even triangles...this gets pretty interesting!  Have fun!

Pincushion Photos for Etsy Banner

Pinsies are Beaded Pins!

Have you noticed all the pinsies on my pincushions lately? I just made a batch of them and thought they looked pretty fantastic in a big mass like this! I like the Dr. Seuss style pin in the middle with the red and white beads reaching into the sky.

My pattern for this quilt is available here. This is one of a series of 11 Stairstep quilts. Take a look.

Collage Doll Quilt

This series of colorful doll quilts turned out to be doll size, but also very suitable for use as a wall quilt. They're all about 16" X 20." There's no hanging sleeve, but you can just hang them with two straight pins.

I love all the pretty images in this collage quilt: a big green pansy, cupcake, eggplant, geometrics, and all kinds of leafy, flowery, abstract goodness. These fabrics are designed by Kaffe Fassett, Martha Negley and others at Rowan & Westminster in the UK. Quilters recognize these fabrics in a second!

This quilt is available for sale for $25 at www.etsy.com/shop/karengriskaquilts.

Also see the companion quilt to this one, and many others as well.

Wall Quilt for Foodies

 This is a wall quilt for foodies. The photos were taken in bright sunlight so the quilting shows up very clearly, more than it will show up indoors. This $25 Doll Quilt Sale on Etsy is so much fun.
