In case you were wondering, these beautiful navy and coral fabrics are from the Wanderlust collection from Monaluna. See my unbundling video here.
I sewed it together using quilt-as-you-go techniques, which, looking back, are not really suited for diamonds.
Trying not to let the corners of my diamonds get sewn in the seams was like trying to hold water in a leaky bucket!
But I still love the quilt and am thinking about making another one.
What do you think? Is my ‘Huddle Quilt’ one that you’d like to have a pattern for? (It would be a regular quilt pattern, not quilt-as-you-go).
Let me know in the comments. ❤️
And now I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on this week… Does anyone have a Designer Zipper Bag to show me? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.

Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
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.

Sew up a cute little bag to fit inside your purse – voila! Organized purse! This easy sewing projects has lots of pockets and uses easy to find and inexpensive felt so you can make one in every color.
I’ve been sewing a long time and I’ve received lots of wonderful birthday and Christmas presents. I’ve also received a lot of crummy ones (cheap sewing kits, anyone?). So I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite gifts… ideas for what you can give your sewing buddies. Or maybe something for you to share with others so they know what you get you, wink wink!
One of the first things I ever learned to sew was doll clothes. I think I was about 8. My family never had a lot of money (9 kids!), so I had to make my own. I cut up clothing that was destined for goodwill and made clothes for my stuffed dolls, stuffed animals, and even my younger siblings, lol!
I recently needed a gift for a little guy’s birthday party, and with just one day to spare this little project was perfect. I had heard that this tutorial was great but let me tell you, it ROCKS! This is…
Look what I got this week! A pop-up camper. I’m so excited. I’ve been saving my pennies and searching craigslist for something just right for our family and I finally took the plunge.
Now I’ve got a delightful makeover project ahead of me, it makes me giddy just thinking about it. I mean, look at these vomit-colored curtains and mattresses with no quilts.

Quilting is a so relaxing and zen activity. Your quilt is beautiful!
I would like to see a pattern for the quilt. I really enjoyed the videos for the designer zipper bag. I’m planning my next project since I’m recovering from surgery and can’t sew now.
Please provide a pattern. Sorry it provided a challenge as a QAYG project but I would say it was a successful recovery!! I love your quilting design!!!
Caroline, I love the huddle quilt! It looks like a simple pattern just right for a short term project. I’d love it as a regular pieced pattern but I’d also love to learn how you did the QAYG method. I love your blog. Thanks for your abundant info and inspiration. I’m blogging at SeamlessPiecing.com
I’d love a pattern if you have time. There is just something about blocks on point that I love. I don’t know why, I just love them. Your quilting is awesome.
I think we all need a Huddle Quilt Day. Every once in a while I try to make a small quilt that I can finish in one day. I would like to have the pattern/

I’m a bit late to the party but wanted to let you know I’ve been making Designer Zipper Bags. Love, love, love your technique! These bags are so neat and tidy when they are done and they go together so easily. Thank you so much for the videos! Maybe I can link a photo on the next party.
Huddle is a great modern quilt. I would like the pattern. I can see it made with a colored background and resize for a twin bed. I need twin bed quilts for Grandkids and right now way to many quilts are only squares It would make a great ISpy Quilt I follow you almost everyday as you are very creative and not just quilts or just other sewing.
Oh, your quilt is so beautiful. I can envision it in my den with the colors of the room. A pattern would be great. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

How do you get all this done! You have a beautiful site – when mine grows up I hope to be able to get as much done as you! And this particular quilt is just beautiful!
I like that you have a link to your journey with mental health. I have been thinking of doing the same, but haven’t had the courage to "come out" so to speak. The closest I’ve come is a blog post on a quilt I made as a self portrait called Someone’s War. Good luck – and know that you are admired by many! – Aggie, Lavender Quilting Farm
