Pre-Cut Linky Party Time

It's been a while since we've shared some pre-cut love, so let's have a party!! Before the sharing begins, I just wanted to show you a couple of pics I've recently been sent by Sewmotion customers, funnily enough based on the same pattern, my disappearing four-patch quilt, Square Dance.

Kath is a lovely lady and fellow quilter at my local quilt group, the Village Quilters in Middlesbrough. A prolific quilter, if she's not making beautiful quilts for family and friends, she's making the cutest Christmas items, in fact, we call her Mrs Christmas! This is her version of my Square Dance quilt, complete with the linear quilting, isn't it beautiful!!

My second project is from another lovely lady we first met at the Harrogate Autumn Quilt show last year. Jan bought my Charming Vintage Rose quilt, sadly now out of stock. I love how she changed the layout so the colours run diagonally across the quilt. Jan also made this gorgeous cushion to match, those stars are so cute!

Pre-Cut Party Time, and so many HSTs!

Before I say anything else, can I just thank all you lovely people out there who took the time to read and join in my first Pre-Cut Linky Party last week. As a new venture, I was a little worried that it would go unnoticed, so when you joined in I was over the moon! As well as some link-ups, you also left some interesting comments (again, thank you) and it does seem that many of us buy these scrumptious looking fabric bundles because they look so cute and pretty, but then put them on a shelf and never use them.

Well, hopefully this will be the chance to change this, if we can share as many pre-cut projects and ideas as possible, together with my free monthly patterns (subscribe for free here) we can all bring those beauties off the top shelf or from under the bed, unwrap them and get cutting!

To get started this week, I thought I'd share some of the beautiful linkies from last week... who would have thought the humble square could look so good!

This week I've been working on a new quilt pattern using my 12pc fat quarter bundle in these bright prints from Red Rooster's Basically Hugs collection. This pattern, which will hopefully also be a kit, uses the ever-versatile half-square triangle. There are so many ways to make these little gems, but my favourite is still the foundation-piecing method, you can read my tutorial and download templates for seven different sizes here.

Each of my sixteen blocks are made up of 28 HSTs which makes 448 in total! ahhh!! Good job these templates make 12 at a time! Wish me luck :)

My wonderful husband has just sprung a surprise few days away for my birthday next week, so rather than invite folk to a party and then not turn up myself - how rude - I'll see you again in a fortnight, but back to today...

Now it's your turn - grab the button below for your sidebar, and join the party! Don't forget to check out these other great linky parties too - Let's Bee Social, Midweek Makers, and Needle & Thread Thursday.
