Scrap Quilt

The Art of Piddling

December 8, 2020 by Amy Cook

I recently attended a quilt retreat. It was super-fun and while there I completed a few projects, including one long-term quilt. I was exhausted when I got home and could not possibly commit to another project right away so for the last few days I’ve been piddling. I don’t know or care how Webster defines … [Read more…]

Another Quilt Is Born – The Full-On Scrappy One

October 28, 2019 by Amy Cook Leave a Comment

In a recent post, A Quilt Is Born, I talked about one of my bucket-list quilts, the giant gingham. I mentioned the one I made is moderately scrappy and I quite like it, but I decided to make a full-on scrappy version and a totally non-scrappy one to compare and contrast. Today, I started my … [Read more…]

A Quilt Is Born

October 14, 2019 by Amy Cook Leave a Comment

For months now, I’ve been working on a couple of projects that seem never-ending. This weekend, I wanted the satisfaction of a finish, so instead of doing what I know I should have done, which is to continue with my WIPs, I started something new. I did end the week with a finished quilt top, … [Read more…]

Ugly Quilts

May 21, 2018 by amy Leave a Comment

Aloha, y’all. I have a confession. Sometimes I make ugly quilts. On purpose. Not for nothing though. That would be crazy, right?  You may be asking yourself, “Why would anyone intentionally make an ugly quilt?” Believe it or not, there are several reasons. When I made Churn Dash Aflutter, I was living in Alaska with my … [Read more…]

Narwhals Are for Real

January 1, 2018 by amy Leave a Comment

News flash, People… narwhals are NOT fictional characters. They actually exist. Maybe you knew that, but until today, I did not. Just in case you are even less informed than me, narwhals are whales with a unicorn-like horn. Google them. They’re fascinating. So basically, I just experienced a paradigm shift. My mind has been blown. … [Read more…]

Sliding into 2018 Like…Woah!

December 25, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

I love the week between Christmas and New Year. I enjoy reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the coming one. What’s amazing is that I’m not super depressed by all the goals I didn’t accomplish this year. The list is long, but staring at the face of a fresh, new beginning, I … [Read more…]

How to Get Rich in the Quilting Industry

December 18, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

The person who invents a self-sharpening rotary cutter is going to be a multi-billionaire, no joke, and  I will be her biggest fan. Today I trimmed a thousand half-square triangle blocks. It was really only 72, but it felt like much more, because I cut half of them with a dull blade. Sheer foolishness. Most … [Read more…]

It’s Binding Time

November 13, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Today, I machine-stitched the binding to the front of my Positively Scrappy quilt. All that remains is a few evenings of Netflix binging while hand-sewing it to the back and the quilt will be cuddle ready. I love this quilt for many reasons, even though it’s probably not the most beautiful one in the world.  … [Read more…]
