Little Ruby Quilt Along - Part 3 - Fat Quarter Shop

How quickly this lovely Little Ruby Quilt Along together with Fat Quarter Shop has been flying by. I have been busy sewing together all of my rows for this beauty. You can get the free pattern from here to make one for yourself.

These video tutorials are great and go through all the sewing details.

Once all my stars were sewn then it was quick and easy to arrange and sew together all the rows for this quilt.

I will be back on the 11th July to show you the full reveal of this quilt. I have sent mine out to be professionally Long Arm Quilted as this quilt is going to be for a very special gift.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing all the other makers and their quilt tops

Little Ruby Quilt Along - Fat Quarter Shop - Part 2

Back today with Part 2 in the Little Ruby Quilt Along together with Fat Quarter Shop. You will find all the details for the start of the quilt along in my first post here. It has all the links for the pattern and all you need to get started as there is still plenty of time to join in.

I have enjoyed cutting out and starting to put my star blocks together. This pattern by Camille Roskelley of Thimble Bossoms is just a beauty and I have to say that the Creative Grid rulers have been fabulous and easy to use.

You can check out the Video Tutorial here.

I haven't used the Creative Grid rulers and I have to say that these worked a treat. With the circle indents in them cutting out the triangles quickly was a breeze. It also saved lots of turning around of the ruler as you go so there was a lot less movement in my strips as I went.

These star blocks have been quick and fun to sew and make. The key being to pin and gently press your Triangles as you go.

Hope you are enjoying making your own Little Ruby Quilt.

Happy sewing
