Hey, Suzy Quilts fans, Laura here! You may remember me as the guest host of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along or from my other blog posts on the Suzy Quilts website. I'm the Managing Editor and Communications Director here at SQ, and I'm excited to be back to share our best tips and tricks for making the revamped and renamed Summer Haze quilt pattern!
With so many children's books available these days, it can be hard to know the perfect book to get for your favorite quilting family. Sharing our love of quilts with younger generations is so important. And before you can sit a child in front of a sewing machine and teach them to quilt, you can read them books about quilts.
Can you believe our voyage is almost over? It's Week 7 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along, and it's our last week together! By next week, you'll have a beautiful, completed Voyage quilt top. For this week's post, we're not only finishing our top, but we are also talking about quilting ideas and labeling your quilt.
Welcome to Week 6 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along! It's time to assemble all our blocks! After chain piecing last week, we're putting the finishing touches on our blocks to prepare for finishing the entire Voyage quilt top during Week 7.
Can you believe it’s already Week 5 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along? It’s flying by, and we are going to start seeing our quilt come together this week, because we’re chain piecing our blocks together!

Welcome to Week 4 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along! This week is all about a block that may feel new and intimidating to many quilters who have joined us on this journey. We’re talking all about half rectangle triangles!
Before we dive into this week’s best tips and tricks for making easy and accurate HRTs, I want to cheer you on!
It’s Week 3 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along! And that means we’re starting to work on the block that forms most of your quilt - half square triangles. We’ll be making as many HSTs as possible this week, but don’t worry if you don’t make all 296 required for the Voyage quilt.
Good pressing takes time and practice, but it can make any quilt shine. That’s why tailor’s clappers are one of our favorite tools here at the Suzy Quilts HQ. We wanted to learn more about this beloved quilting tool, so this post is all about the science of getting flat seams using a tailor’s clapper!
Welcome to week 2 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along, quilt pals! Last week, we talked about choosing fabric for the Voyage quilt and I gave you tips for both the multi-color and two-color versions of Voyage. This week, I’ve got tips for both versions as well, but we are talking all about cutting!
