Somehow my little hashtag quilt top got forgotten until now…
When I needed a quick handmade baby shower gift! I love finding almost-finished projects just at the right time.
This quilt top is sewn from nine 12’’ (when finished) blocks with 3’’ sashing strips and a 3’’ border – with cornerstones. It finished at 48’’ square.
After sandwiching it with some batting and backing fabric, I used straight line quilting in a grid pattern, following the seams in the piecing as a guide.
Easy peasy!
Then I made a quick Studio Chat video to show you. I love being able to do that!
By the way, I re-organized my Free Sewing Patterns tab and now it is organized by category. Click above to check it out. The Free Quilt Patterns and Classic Quilt Block Patterns sections are all about quilting!
I wish that there was some way you could show me your quilts in a video too.
So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.

Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!
Sew an easy beautiful apron with this free sewing pattern that only uses one yard of fabric! Whether you are sewing for yourself or for a friend, an apron always comes in handy and makes a great gift. This blog post includes a link to a free template that I digitized for you.

These Beautiful and Bright Coil & Crochet Rainbow Baskets are perfectly on-trend and I’m in love with them! Little baskets are so handy for keeping important little items right where you need them for when you need them…and why not make them perfectly beautiful?! Lots of people who sew also crochet so I thought you’d like to see this fun technique with fabric and yarn.
It’s Friday, and what a busy week it has been for me and just about everyone I know too. I’m so happy that we can feature Stephanie from Swoodson Says for today’s Friday Spotlight!
Right before school ended, I was at my kids’ elementary school volunteering when I noticed the old, coffee-stained tablecloth in the teachers’ breakroom. It was just awful. So I decided to make a new tablecloth for them as an end…
Earlier this year I was emailing back and forth with Nancy over at Free Spirit Fabrics to let them use some of my projects for their promotional materials and then out of the blue she invited me to participate in…
This morning my baby girl Chloe (she’s really 8 years old) had her first swim meet. I was up late last night finishing up a red and black racerback swimsuit from Jalie’s well-known pattern. I had heard good things about…
Your quilt is beautiful! I love it!. I made a quilt years ago using moms sewing scraps. It was just a basic scrap blocks design. It took me about 6 months to complete and did it all by hand. Its special to me. You have me wanting to make another one but this time I will probably use a machine! The post is over a year old but I went ahead and linked it anyway. Have a great weekend!!! Lisa
Cute pattern!
