Alaska Cobbelstone Quilt

For this quilt I used one pack of "Sample Alaska", 49 10 inch Pre-cut Batik Squares from Sew,n Bee Cozy in Seward, Alaska. I added a few additional squares from my stash. Backing and binding also from my stash.

I cut the squares in half, and made 16 strips with 6 blocks in each. Then I added a "half" block on left or right. The half block is 5,5 times 5 inches. Sew strips together.

This was a quick and easy project, and displays all the beautiful fabrics very well.

Log Cabin pot holders

My dream has come true, we are now owners of a log cabin in the Norwegian mountains. We are still busy getting installed in the cabin. A log cabin pot holder I have made for the cabin.

Three pocket tote

I have made two three-pocket totes to give away as presents.

Ran into the woods next to my house to get the picture, got eaten up by mosquitoes. But it is so pretty with the sharp green new growth on the blueberry brush and the pine trees.

Tea Time Quilt

Tea Time Quilt in the snow at Vegglifjell, Norway.

Fabrics used was Christmas Play and Chinese Fan from Panduro Hobby, Kona Snow (for sashing) and some scraps. The pre-cut fabric was very inaccurately cut, so I had to trim them down to 4,5" before piecing. Blocks are  the traditional 9-patch blocks. Quilted in the ditch on my Bernina Aurora sewing machine. Sizee of quilt is 50 times 80 inches.
Here is a small tutorial on the very versatile 9-patch block. 

Sew together 9 4,5" blocks. To get the pattern in this quilt, place dark red (small squares) in the middle, varied colored blocks in the corners and remaining blocks are sashing colored fabric.

Cut the block in the middle diagonally and horizontally.

Rotate blocks as in the picture above.
