terest 20 february 2017 asterism asterism is the second of two quilts that i will show at quiltcon in savannah georgia 23 feb 2017 26 feb 2017 asterism is a typographical term a group of three asterisks traditionally set in a triangle but more commonly printed in a straight line that serves as a visual section break in a longer chapter at this dark pivot point in our history i look for the path that will lead us to a brighter future i constructed the quilt top both the improvised field and the precision pieced asterisk medallions entirely from used jeans some of them mine and some second hand i made the three medallions several years ago from the same batch of jeans i wrote about my series of salvaged cushions in 2011 i called this particular iteration asterisk i went with pressed open seams on the rectangular background to manage seam bulk the curvy medallions came together cleanly with seams pressed to the side the backing is a pretty neat combination of orphan units from a wedge curve class i attended with sherri lynn wood way back when and a bunch of indigo cross weaves and chambrays i love the back of this quilt i quilted on my domestic machine with a walking foot marking intermediately spaced lines with painting tape my inspiration was falling water i filled in the interstitial quilting with 1 2 1 spacing chambray binding finished by hand i made this photo into a button hit me up and i ll give you one at quiltcon while supplies last here i m blocking the quilt after washing i like this picture because it gives a good idea of the quilting and the color i had such a hard time getting the indigo right in the photos asterism 81 x74 begun 2011 completed 2016 pieced and quilted by daniel rouse at 8 32 pm 22 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest permanence permanence is one of two quilts of mine that will be shown at quiltcon in savannah georgia 23 feb 2017 26 feb 2017 like the quilt in my last post it is a large scale raw edge reverse applique quilt the technique was inspired by an antique quilt presented at a guild meeting several years ago the torn top of the quilt revealed an equally tattered quilt sandwiched inside worn to the point it served best as batting the layers suggested the rich history of our shared quilting tradition this particular design begun in 2012 was prompted by day of the dead festivities the top layer incorporates a bunch of prints from the daisy janie shades of grey print collection provided to the east bay modern quilters as a fabric challenge and a bunch of other gray and red prints and solids the reverse applique piece is a lonestar pieced of upcycled denim some of it mine and some thrifted i beefed up the seam allowances of the denim for durability i usually trim away the excess patchwork around the border of my reverse applique for this quilt i kept the entire lonestar in the quilt sandwich in fact i quilted the denim batting backing using a heavy jeans like thread before completing the applique you can clearly see the outline of the star on the quilt back the i added the top layer sewed the applique outline and cut out the excess to leave a raw edge i quilted the gray and red bits on my domestic machine using a flame motif permanence 96 x96 weight at least a ton begun 2012 completed 2016 pieced and quilted by daniel rouse at 11 08 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 18 february 2017 the poetry of manners and motion i have three quilts in shows next week and i hope to post about each of them today i m writing about the poetry of manners and motion the quilt will be hanging at the mid atlantic quilt festival in hampton virginia 23 feb 2017 26 feb 2017 it is the only quilt i have remade the first iteration i designed and sewed in 2011 i wrote about it here i sold that quilt the same year and immediately missed it five years later i decided to give it another go enlarged and with new piecing and quilting challenges i lifted the title of the piece from the writings of john muir observing a blacktailed deer in yosemite a fine specimen of the blacktailed deer went bounding past camp this morning a buck with wide spread of antlers showing admirable vigor and grace wonderful the beauty strength and graceful movements of animals in wildernesses cared for by nature only when our experience with domestic animals would lead us to fear that all the so called neglected wild beasts would degenerate yet the upshot of nature s method of breeding and teaching seems to lead to excellence of every sort deer like all wild animals are as clean as plants the beauties of their gestures and attitudes alert or in repose surprise yet more than their bounding exuberant strength every movement and posture is graceful the very poetry of manners and motion mother nature is too often spoken of as in reality no mother at all yet how wisely sternly tenderly she loves and looks after her children in all sorts of weather and wildernesses the more i see of deer the more i admire them as mountaineers they make their way into the heart of the roughest solitudes with smooth reserve of strength through dense belts of brush and forest encumbered with fallen trees and boulder piles across cañons roaring streams and snow fields ever showing forth beauty and courage john muir my first summer in the sierra i began this quilt as i did the first one constructing the green reverse applique from cotton prints using a disappearing nine patch pattern many of the prints were the same as the first iteration many were different but i stuck with the same range of greens caroline at trillium design generously sent me a fat quarter of the joel dewberry hummingbird print which absolutely needed to reprise its role next i set about the background i employed sherri lynn wood s wedge curve technique for the background of this and one other wildlife applique quilt i started with curve segments from a series of wedges maybe a dozen at a time my original idea was a random series of waves and curves that would give a landform effect much like the bear quilt which you can find on my instagram until i blog about it the first bit i constructed was this keyhole shape here stuck up on the design wall on top of the backing of the bear quilt and my imagination latched onto how multiple keyholes would fit together so i made four similar bits trying to keep them a similar size using trimmed scraps from the two quilts for the keyhole centers with one of the four pieces sliced in half i almost had a rectangle i filled in the voids with a combination of wedges and scraps and then the reverse applique trimming the back and cutting the front the most nerve racking step i love an elaborately pieced quilt back so there i went i started with forming the scraps of the trimmed stag into five circles then surrounded a couple of them with leftover wedge curves i finished the composition with all the scraps and bits of yardage quilting on my domestic machine and binding in green i love the quilting front and back the quilting at the bottom is inspired by grass and wildflowers there are a few more motifs in irregular bands moving toward the top where i finish with a windy pattern the finished quilt is 84 w x 78 h if you get a chance to see the show i would love it if you could send me a photo of the hanging quilt if you post to instagram tag me dsrouse at 10 56 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 27 june 2016 quilts for pulse the orlando modern quilt guild organized a quilt drive for all the injured and the families of the lost following the pulse nightclub mass shooting in which 49 people were murdered and 53 wounded the orlando mqg suggested a heart theme based on the the block design of allison harris of cluck cluck sew i completed a quilt top this weekend read on if you would like to know how i put it together i started with the 10 square version of her heart block but i split the two 10 1 2 x 5 1 2 rectangles into four 5 1 2 x 5 1 2 squares so i could pixelate the hearts the finished quilt is 60 x 60 i made six heart blocks in each of six different colors and then i mixed them up for each foreground color i picked a low volume background print mostly they fade to the distance but i like that a couple are more noticeable i followed allison s stitch and flip method for the half square triangles and corners but on the larger blocks i also sewed a second seam at a half inch offset and trimmed between the seams to create bonus hst units i have a plan if you would like to make a similar quilt here is a quick summary really more a series of hints than a pattern check out allison cluck cluck sew s tutorial for more information materials foreground prints 6 red prints 3 4 yard total 6 orange prints 3 4 yard total 6 yellow prints 3 4 yard total 6 green prints 3 4 yard total 6 blue prints 3 4 yard total 6 purple prints 3 4 yard total background prints 6 low volume prints 1 2 yard each from each of the 36 foreground prints cut four 5 1 2 x 5 1 2 squares from each of the 6 background prints cut twenty four 2 x 2 squares and twelve 5 1 2 x 5 1 2 squares some of my six background fabrics have more personality than the others i especially like the metallic violet paisley i paired with the yellows and the pink dot cotton steel voile i paired with the purples they create an interesting halo effect and the voile just feels so good to work with i followed allison s stitch and flip method for the corner triangles and then sewed another seam a half inch away and trimmed a quarter inch between leaving the heart corner block and a bonus scrap hst unit i did it this way rather than a 2 from 1 square hst method because it was easier to maintain direction with directional prints and i have a plan for the bonus units anyway for each of the 36 foreground prints make a left point unit a right point unit and 2 lobe units with the 2 flip and stitch corners in the diagram below sew along the dotted lines and trim along the heavy diagonal reserve the extra hst units for another project assemble 10 four patch squares by row pinning as necessary to match points the four patch blocks alternate split hearts pont above lobes and whole hearts now combine rows 1 2 and 3 then 4 5 and 6 finally combine the two halves i didn t intend this as a proper pattern but do let me know if you have any questions especially after reviewing the cluck cluck sew tutorial a few notes i substituted similar fabrics in a few situations where i didn t have enough yardage i didn t go for perfect symmetry some of the block placements are a bit dissonant because i liked the way it came together you can put your blocks wherever you like at 9 46 am 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 14 january 2016 good hair day a few months ago kim

i would finish the edges of my lonestar circle coasters i liked the idea of double fold quilt binding but it seemed like it might be tricky especially the curves and the relatively tight diameter i decided to try it on one coaster and then decide what to do with the rest it turned out exactly like i wanted i ll show you how i did it i used 17 lengths of 2 1 4 bias strips for my 4 1 2 diameter circles if you re working with a different sized circle the length of your bias strip will be diameter 3 14 3 this will give you about 3 4 extra length for wiggle room please note that you must use bias cut binding strips binding strips cut on the grain will not conform to the curve and your finished project will not sit flat bias is essential mark a 45 degree diagonal line on the wrong side of one end of the bias strip starting at the top right corner pay attention to the diagonal orientation top right corner to bottom left edge it won t work if you draw from the bottom right corner press the strip in half begin pinning the strip to the front of the circle leave a 4 unpinned tail at the marked end carefully pin t...
