This original design quilt was designed via code written in JavaScript and constructed of half square triangles and 2.5″x2.5″ squares. It uses a mix of Kona Cotton solids, aurifil thread, and was machine quilted on a Juki machine.
Uncharacteristic indecisiveness for my next quilt, so I made two test blocks with favorite fabric choices. Also uncharacteristic to go with a floral textile! The Art Gallery solid is more "me", but I do love that Art Gallery floral print with Essex linen and kona cotton in white. Where to go with this....I need my sewing class with @kathleenbaden and the ladies for opinions! #sewing #quilt #quilting #piecing #machinepiecing #modernquilts #modernquilting #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #essexlinen #essexyarndyedlinen #konacotton #artgalleryfabrics #stephskardalquiltsnov2016

Baby steps this weekend with our non-napper. Also, a "that was dumb" moment here, I'll have to trim off 3/4 inch from the inside since I didn't allow for seam allowances there. Oops/oh well. #sewing #piecing #quilting #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #essexyarndyedlinen #konacotton #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
Aleks is fine dining in Switzerland right now and I'm getting my few minutes of sewing time in before I pick up the kids from daycare. Almost 10 blocks finished, needing trimming. I ran out of stripes and floral strips to make more, so ill have to go back to that. #sewing #quilting #piecing #quiltinprogress #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #aurifilthread #aurifil #konacotton #essexyarndyedlinen #artgalleryfabrics #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
More prepping and piles today. Planning on 16 blocks total here. #sewing #quilting #quiltinprogress #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #aurifilthread #aurifil #konacotton #essexyarndyedlinen #artgalleryfabrics (floral) #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
17 blocks, finished. I guess I need to decide what I'm going to do with them! #sewing #quilting #quiltinprogress #aurifilthread #aurifil #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #konacotton #essexyarndyedlinen #artgalleryfabrics #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
Playing around with a few layout ideas. Definitely considering the quilting on this to pick a winner. #quiltplanning #quilt #quiltinprogress #sewing #machinepieced #machinepiecing #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
Just a bit of sewing today - fixing mistakes on my finished blocks to cut them down to 8.5 inches and prep other quilt pieces. I'm going a bit more simple on the layout than planned because I love negative space quilting, but planning on mixing up Essex linen and white on the remaining layout for some interest. #quiltplanning #quilting #sewing #piecing #machinepiecing #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #originalpattern #modernquilting #modernquilts #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
Behind the scenes quilt math, algebra and trig. I didn't have enough Essex linen for my first calculation, so I had to rerun the numbers. Ready to be pieced, but I need to figure out how to minimize y-seams! #quiltplanning #quilt #sewing #math #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
No y-seams, so far. But 4 are up next to finish this quilt top. #quilting #quiltinprogress #sewing #quilts #modernquilts #modernquilting #piecing #machinepiecing #aurifilthread #aurifil #makersgunnamake #creativelifehappylife #stephskardalquiltsnov2016
