I love your version. Rich in color and cheerful.
I have made a number of sampler or scrap quilts thinking I could get rid of stash or scraps and you can't tell I took anything out. I am beginning to think that fabric is like rabbits and if you leave it alone too long it multiplies.

I love Jen Kingwell patterns, I made her ‘long time gone’ and added squares around because I wanted it bigger. It did not make a dent in my stash.

This is so cute. Thank you for sharing it with me.
I'm so glad you will be joining me sewing Long Time Gone. I am a big fan of sampler type quilts and this is one I've had in my "Quilts to Make" pile for awhile. Each block or section could become its own miniature or small quilt instead of making it as one large one. I look forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.

Dee, I am having fun following along with your Saturday lessons. Just bought the pattern, Long Time Gone. It is definitely not my typical style but with this isolation it is a lot of fun to have someone to sew with. Typically I make bed quilts or miniature and this pattern seems to have some of both.
Wanted to share a Churn Dash or Monkey Wrench quilt, it is 11"x11". We were visiting my elderly mother-in-law for several weeks and I finished what I was working on and bought a charm pack and some back ground fabric and make a couple of miniatures.

Love, Love, Love them.

You told us to try a couple of churn dash blocks. Do I get extra credit for over achieving?

HST units 1 7/8"
rectangles 1 1/2 x 1"
center square 1 1/2"

Beautiful block and perfect from what I can tell from the picture. I am so glad the tips were helpful to you. Thank you for sharing your block.

I really don't. I know others do but I haven't experienced much difference when I do. As always, do what is best for you and that helps you get the results you are looking for.

Dee, you did a wonderful job teaching about piecing small blocks you hints were great. I was wondering if you ever shorten your stitch length, just a little, when dealing with small pieces?

Oh Debbie, I used 2 1/2" squares & I also used my Acorn glue & pressing solution to make it lie flat. Just wanted to see what you thought.

Hi Debbie, I watched your show Saturday & tried the tips you gave. I wanted to show you the Spinning Star I made using the 2 12" blocks. The first time I had all my seams meet & did not have to tear out. I held my hand like you said close to the foot & using my Sew Steady helped my get the end & beginning of the piece even. I have learned to much from your classes & so glad you are guiding us.

2 squares of background at 1 7/8"
2 squares of feature fabric at 1 7/8
4 rectangles of background at 1 1/2 x 1"
4 rectangles of feature fabric at 1 1/2 x 1"
1 center square at 1 1/2"

It was Easy Press Solution by Acorn and can be purchased from The Quilt Show Store under Saturday Sampler. It is a great product for those pesky seams that don't want to lay flat.
