TTMT #523 - @nmjewells - September 24, 2024 - A Dapper 3 Yard Quilt

This week I show you my finished Dapper Den 3 Yard Quilt as well as a pillow cover I currently have in progress using a giant quilt block. This balloon block is unnecessarily complicated, imo, and I think the method of construction might be a deterrent to some quilters/sewists, but it's not really difficult, just awkward. I think it would be cuter if you used a single fussycut piece of fabric for the balloon itself instead of piecing it around a charm square. Regardless, I think it's going to make a fun throw pillow!

All the fabrics I used in both the quilt and the pillow cover, as well as the 3 yard Quilt book I used and the Balloon Fiesta Quilt pattern, were purchased at Hip Stitch.

Stay Crafty, Y'all!

This week I show you a new quilt top I started on Sunday and have almost finished. The pattern is Stepping Stones from Pretty Darn Quick 3 Yard Quilts by Fabric Cafe. While I found the prep and cutting rather time consuming and kind of exhausting for me and my arthritis, the sewing/piecing is super fast and easy. I'll get the border on this week and hopefully in a couple weeks will be able to show you a finished quilt. The big squares are Dear Stella (not Art Gallery, oops!) Dapper Den Toile in Space Blue, the white tonal is Dapper Den White Headdress, and the brown is Decostitch Elements Cinnamon Sugar by Art Gallery. 

Stay Crafty y'all!
