The Godfather

Vinny Nardi

tested by Loretta Nardi

28" x 20" paper pieced

Today's pattern is the very first from our youngest ever designer, Vince Nardi!

From Vince:

I am 13 years old and love building legos, leather tooling, and wood carving. Since my mom couldn't figure out how to use the quilt program, she told me I could pick the next movie themed design if I'd learn how to work the Quilt Assistant program. I created the pattern and she sewed it.

Harry Potter: S.P.E.W.

S.P.E.W.

Jennifer Ofenstein

tested by Jo Minvielle

10" paper pieced

I'm celebrating 20 years of Harry Potter all month long with a new free HP inspired pattern each Friday!

Many, many moons ago, I originally designed all of my stand-alone Harry Potter inspired blocks at 5" because they would fit on a single sheet of paper. I always thought S.P.E.W. was too small at 5", so it lingered in the "unfinished" folder. For many years now, my patterns have been much more than a single page (imagine!) and I decided it was time to dust this one off and make it a generous 10".

For those of you not in the know, S.P.E.W. is a society created by Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. It stands for Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. Read more on Pottermore.

More Harry Potter Awesomeness Here!

No House Elves were harmed in the making of this website.

UFOQAL2017 - Choose Your UFO Your Choice Quilt Along

Pull out those UFOs and join us for the Choose Your UFO Quilt Along! (#UFOQAL2017).

As we near the end of our event, we want to encourage you to keep on working on those UFO projects. It's never too late to start!

There was a recent discussion in the Facebook group about binding. I've been lucky enough over the years to learn many tips and tricks from some awesome local quilters. There are lots of way to create binding for your quilt and we encourage you to use the technique that works best for you.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Machine Binding Tutorial from me (Jennifer Ofenstein)!

Machine binding to the front with a hand stitched back.

Machine binding with piping.

How to Bias Bind a Quilt (for quilts with curves)

Do you have a favorite binding technique? We'd love to know!
