More mindless sewing

This is a kit I bought at my LQS a couple weeks ago. I cut it out last night and finished piecing it today. I thought the fabrics were cute! The pattern is a simple stack, slash and shuffle the pieces. Similar to a Turning Twenty.

Hi

We always need a project now and then where we can just put the pedal to the metal and sew to have something done without too much thinking. Creativity is great, but now and then I have to have something done quicker rather than later. The pirate kids are cute.

Love the Whirlpool quilt. The colors are absolutely fabulous. Just wish I was better at curves. Mom can do curves and I can do needle-turn applique but not the other way around.

Is there another name for the turning twenty quilt? I looked for it in Quilters Cache and it wasn't there. Everything is there! ACK.

?Url_String It's a quilt pattern rather than a specific block. But basically it's a way to efficiently cut up stacked fat quarters into different sized pieces, shuffle the pieces then sew them back into fat quarter sized blocks that are different from each other. Clear as mud?? KJ

Jan, Turning Twenty is a booklet that has the "pattern" for the quilt. It is more of a technique sort of thing, I think. It uses 20 Fat quarters, and you cut them certain ways, very similar to Yellow Brick Road. So you won't find it for free.... sorry.

Thanks Pat! I figure I'll have something stashed away in case I need a little boy gift sometime. KJ

I love the pirates. I've always believed I was a pirate in a former life. And I love the whirlpool quilt. What pattern is that? I would really like to give it a "whirl" so to speak. hehe

The whirlpool quilt is from a pattern by Virginia Walton of Creative Curves.

bought the pattern and fabrics as a kit. I'm still waiting for it to talk to me and tell me how it wants to be quilted. Actually, I think it's going to talk to a longarmer. She might be able to speak its language better!KJ

It's cute, KJ. But I *love* that bargello quilt top.
