I can’t believe we have finished this quilt along! Seems like we just started. The Bella Skill Builder quilt along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop! Has been a great quilt along. I was very impressed with their quilt kit and each months instructions were perfect. I love that they almost always provided another option if you didn’t have the ruler.

Finishing!!

We made it!

Slow and steady we finished the race… I have to say I really love this quilt.

All the detailed piecing and the fabric choices really came together nicely..

I really pushed myself to get this top quilted! One so I could show you guys and Two… if it ends up the finished tops pile it takes me forever to get to it. 

I chose to do and all over stipple design for my quilt. It’s not perfect, but it’s done!

I even remembered to get my tag on there! Love these. 

Hope you guys have had a great time following along! I loved seeing all the different color combos people chose. 

While this quilt definitely stretched my skills… it was worth it! The finished quilt is stunning!

Moving along my quilty friends with Block 6 in the Bella Skill Builder quilt along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop!

Block 6

Courthouse Steps

This months block is Courthouse Steps.

This is another classic block… and another I have never made before!

I used the 12″ Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool Two ruler, which also does Courthouse Steps. It will help you create perfect 6″ and 12″ finished Log Cabin, Half Log Cabin, or Courthouse Steps blocks.

You can find this ruler HERE on the Fat Quarter Shop website. This ruler has quite a few uses and I think will be money well spent!

This was a fun block… I just kept working my way around and everything went really smooth. Just enough fabric to trim so everything comes out square, yes!

I am loving trying all these new blocks without having to make 100 of each and these new rulers are pretty awesome!

Enjoy Sassy’s!

Block 5

Half Square Triangle

Another classic block in the world of quilting…. simple, yet the options are truly endless! 

There are also lots of ways to put these bad boys together…. 

This pattern recommends using Triangles on a Roll…. you can find these at Fat Quarter Shop HERE.  

I do have to admit I love these! The process is easy and each unit comes out perfect!!!

There are a ton in this roll… you just cut off how many you need and layer them together with your two fabrics facing each other. A couple pins to secure your paper to the fabrics is perfect.

The instructions are right on there too, genius!

Then just stitch along the dotted lines following the arrows. Shorten your stitch length so the paper is easy to tear off when you’re done. 

Cut on the solid lines, tear off your paper and… Voila! Perfect Half square triangles…. trim the little dog ears if you like! 

Then just sew them together according to the pattern…

Done! 

We are getting there Sassies! This quilt is moving right along… here’s a pic of mine all together.
