My grandma taught me how to tie a quilt by hand with yarn almost 35 years ago. Today I get to share her method with you. It’s easy, don’t be intimidated. Just like sewing a button on but easier. Toughest part is getting the yarn in the eye of the needle but there’s a gadget...

I originally had another denim stained glass pattern in mind but, our friend was small so wouldn't have been able to cut any 12" squares (unless I left some leg seams in them which I thought might make the quilt even heavier less comfortable). I saw the idea for this quilt for a similar style but with smaller pieces on The Flemings Nine blog. There doesn't seem to be a pattern for it but, color blocks are pretty popular these days so a quick search will give you plenty of free blocks...

I spent this past Saturday sewing. I accomplished a lot. I finished The Princess's costume for her upcoming performance in the school Christmas musical. She is going to be the innkeeper. It's not a fancy costume, but it's not supposed to be. It was very easy to make using a Simplicity pattern. I also spent time sewing together the 2 1/2-inch squares for Goldie's quilt. I think I have become addicted to sewing these little squares together. Finally, I finished the Snug as a Bug Super Sized...

Okay -- Let's talk fabrics, and what you'll need! Your quilt will end up about 45"x60". This is considered "crib size," although I find it to be the perfect size for a lap quilt, or for snuggling under on the couch. This is a great size to start with, as it will be manageable for you to quilt, you can purchase a prepackaged batting in this size, and it is possible to avoid piecing fabric together for the backing. I suggest using 9 to 10 fabrics in your quilt to make your layout easier later...

Rosewood Lane is a quick and easy quilt pattern that includes 5 sizes - Baby, Lap, Twin, Queen, and King. This quilt is made with large blocks and very few seams to match. I love that it looks scrappy yet is made from a single block which makes for quick chain piecing. This is truly a weekend quilt pattern, even the twin size.
