Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day with the “Luck of the Irish” with Lucky Shamrocks!

“Clover Medley”
Designed by Phyllis Dobbs

This traditionally pieced & appliquéd quilt measures 51″ x 74 1/2” when finished.
The quilt blocks are 10” finished & 10 1/2” unfinished.

This “Clover Medley” quilt pattern features appliquéd Shamrocks in TWO (2) sizes to form an asymmetrical quilt. Use your scraps or precuts for the Shamrocks to give it a scrappy look!

Here’s a closer look at one of the appliquéd quilt squares:

Here’s a row of the pieced background with some more appliquéd Shamrocks:

They speak St. Patrick’s Day in a big way!

One row with borders would make a festive table runner for a St. Patrick’s feast!

Quilt Dash is all about “Smile & Wave” this Month!

Posted on August 19, 2021 by TK HarrisonAugust 19, 2021

The inspiration for this quilt comes from the Penguins in the original Madagascar movie!

When the penguins are sitting on the bench in Times Square, the police start moving in, to try to capture the escaped zoo animals. Rico is the leader of the Penguins. He tells his two friends to, “Smile & Wave” so they don’t look too conspicuous.

In other words: If you’re confronted with anything that’s not to your liking, all you need to do is “Smile & Wave” it away!

“Smile & Wave”
Designed by TK Harrison (that’s me 🙂 )!
This traditionally pieced quilt measures 67″ x 79” when finished.
The quilt blocks are 12” finished & 12 1/2” unfinished.

There are only TWO (2) blocks in this quilt if you make it as shown. Although you can make it larger or smaller depending on your preference.

: Very Berry Cake Quilt Block

: Raspberry Cheesecake Quilt Block

There are SIX (6) rows that make up the “Smile & Wave” Quilt. They’re repeated THREE (3) times each:

There’s some Square in a Squares, several Half-Square Triangles & a few Flying Geese! If you can sew these elements together then you can make this quilt! Especially if you’re able to chain piece everything together!

Quilt Dash is all about “Summertime” at this Month!

Posted on July 15, 2021 by TK HarrisonJuly 15, 2021

Enjoy this quilt made with the “hot” colors of summer!

“Summertime”
Designed by Phyllis Dodds
The size of the quilt is 57” W x 76” H.
The blocks are 10 1/2” x 10 1/2” unfinished and 10” x 10” finished.

The blocks are asymmetrical in arrangement. An appliqué flower is pieced above each block on the sashing at the top of a flower stem. 2 leaves appliquéd to each block.

This is a pieced row of the “Summertime” quilt pattern! You almost can’t tell what the quilt’s going to look like just by seeing this row!

This is the Tulip appliquéd row! It’d rather pretty & fussy! It goes above each of the pieced rows!
