Happy New Year, friends! If you’re anything like me, your scrap bins are positively overflowing from last year’s projects. One of my quilty resolutions for this year is to use more scraps than I make. So with that in mind, let’s make a scrappy quilt!
I'm so excited to bring you this free quilted tote bag tutorial because I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bag lady. Big bags, little bags, bags inside other bags, you name it, there's just something so exhilarating about having the perfect bag for every outfit and occasion.
We've talked a lot about the Modern Fans quilt pattern here on the blog. We've covered color schemes and block layouts, sewing techniques and cutting tips. We even had a nine-week sew along full of videos and prizes to help get you excited about sewing curves.

This week you have one mission, should you choose to accept it: Chain piece all of your blocks into rows.
Are you ready for something totally different and crAzY?! Well too bad. We're still sewing blocks. Welcome to Week 7 of the Modern Fans Quilt Sew-Along! A couple weeks ago we set the cruise control and we're still sitting back and letting her ride.
It's your tour guide, here! Back from vacation and ready to lead the way into another week of pretty much doing the same thing we've been doing – sewing blocks. Welcome to Week 6 of the Modern Fans Quilt Sew-Along! We just gave away $100 to Fabricworm so I'm still feeling fresh and excited.
