Cuttin' Corners Quilt

This quilt pattern is from Quilting in the Rain. When I first seen the quilt, I thought it might be difficult to make with all the different pieces. It fooled me.....because it was really quite simple.

Here are the Moda Layer Cake Park Avenue squares and backing I started with.

 

The first step was to sew the squares together.

 

Next I taped the cutting lines and cut away. Put it together like a puzzle and ended up with this:

 

This is the finished quilt!

 

Tablecloth

Made this tablecloth using a "recipe" from www.modabakeshop.com. It's made from two charm packs. It starts with making nine of these 9-patch blocks.

 

The next step was to cut the 9-patch block, turn the sections to create a new pattern and sew those together like this:

 

Sew the strips, make the backing, take it to the quilter, machine and hand sew the binding and ta-ta.....this is the finished product!
