Speedy Stitching

It's no secret that I love making quilts with Cake Mixes!!!  I have made my Royal quilt, Turning Time quilt, Jack and Jill quilt, and Gingerbread quilt all from Cake Mixes!!!  I just love using these papers to make fast and fabulous quilts!!!  So when my wonderful friends at Moda asked if I wanted to help with some Market sewing by making a new Cake Mix quilt, I of course, was all over it!!!


And of course, you can't made a Cake Mix quilt without making a bit of a mess ;)  First you sew, then you cut, then you rip papers and all in all, it makes for some fun trash!!!   If you have never made a Cake Mix Quilt, you can learn more about them here ;)    But like I said, it goes fast and you don't have to do any trimming for your units to be ready to be pieced into blocks.


Which is great, because did I mention Speedy Stitching!!!   Ya, this fabric (getting a little sneak peak before Market ;)  arrived at my house on Tuesday evening.   And the quilt will, hopefully, going back in the mail on Saturday.  So it's a good thing these Cake Mixes are fast!!!  I have the blocks all made and ready to be sewn in a quilt top today, quilted tomorrow, and bound and in the mail on Saturday.   I love me some Speedy Stitching ;)


I will share more of this quilt after Market, which as I mentioned, is almost here so you won't have to wait long to see this finish!!!   And speaking of finishes . . . be sure to pop back in tomorrow!!  I will be sharing a new quilt and free tutorial for the Year of the Fat Quarter and this month it's all about Aqua!!!   I can't wait ;)


Thanks for popping in today and I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

  1. I have to laugh...I don’t do anything speedy, especially sewing. I’m just pokey to the core! I hurried, once......;). Look forward to seeing the big reveals!

  3. Looks interesting! Have you ever thought about tossing some of the smaller fabric strings outside for the birds. They'll grab them to make a next. I've done that with my serger threads and embroidery threads. I cut the longer pieces smaller so they won't get tangled in their beaks. When we had a Pomeranian pup, I'd trim her hair and toss it out in the flower bed. The birds would pick it up while I was still out there. LOL
