Postage Stamp with a Twist Scrappy Quilt Pattern

New Post: Hexie Fun!

New Post: Hexie Pincushion Tutorial

When machine sewing I like to use an easy stitching project as my anchor cloth.
This is a stack of them, held by a clothes pin, waiting to be pressed.

Anchor Cloth Quilt Project

On the Glossary page of my site I describe an 'Anchor Cloth' as: A scrap piece of fabric sewn through, before and after chain piecing.
It anchors the threads and prevents the machine from eating up the edges of your fabric.
Sewing over a scrap is a great idea and saves you from the 'beginning' problems that can happen when you start sewing.
Even better is to have an ongoing project (like my Loving Our Earth Tiny Scrap String Project), which you sew, instead of the scrap fabric.
You cut/prepare the patches in advance, and keep them by your machine to use each time you sew.
That way, eventually, you have a bonus quilt put together.
Since I've started collecting fabrics I have cut a strip off of each and sewn them into these blocks.
I now have one finished double sided quilt and enough blocks to do another.
And I love the way I am able to adore bits of each of my fabrics by looking at this quilt
[This pattern is available on the site as my Charm Quilt.]
