Want to get your quilt blocks done faster?
Here are a few simple things I do to keep my sewing moving:
✨Pre-cut all my pieces
✨ Use design boards to keep everything
organized
✨ Chain piece whenever I can
✨ Keep a little ironing station right beside me
These simple tricks help me stay organized, keep the sewing flowing, and finish my blocks with less stopping and starting.
What are your favorite tricks for getting your quilt blocks done faster?

Okay, but… which one would you pick?
Making the blocks for my Prairie Memories cover quilt was such a joy! I loved pairing each pretty print with a coordinating solid and watching every block take on its own little personality.
So many pretty combinations… and way too hard to choose a favorite!
Which one is yours?

Pretty in Pink!
Here are my September blocks for the Two Peas QAL hosted by Delia @a_stitch_is_a_stitch. I am so happy with how the little pink flowers and the pretty @artgalleryfabrics pure solids pink go together. It’s like they were meant to be!
Have you finished your blocks for this month?
