In this tutorial, we are going to make a quick and easy quilt using half square triangles. I am using a layer cake for this one and it is the Let it Bloom by Little Forest Atelier for Riley Blake - I just love the floral patterns. If you don’t have a layer cake, no worries — you can cut your own 42 squares at 10' x 10'. Here is a link to a separate tutorial on how to cut your own layer cake squares from yardage. Materials Used 1 layer cake - 42 x (10'x10') squares Contrasting fabric -| Alanda Craft

This quilt-as-you-go (QAYG) method would have to be one of my favourite ways to use up leftover fabric scraps to make a beautiful quilt.

Note from Alanda Craft: Carylanne has created a beautifully bold hexagon table runner as a thoughtful gift for her nephew. Using our tutorials on how to make and how to assemble a hexagon pinwheel block, she has made a lovely centerpiece using just one large block. The black and white fabrics (always a winner) on the front create a dramatic contrast, while the Nordic red backing adds a pop of warmth and festive charm. I like how Carylanne has finished the hexagon by adding the black and whi...| Alanda Craft

In our recent Temu haul we received a number of practical and useful items. We have decided not to do a haul video but instead we will talk about the products as we use them. The first item we reviewed was a bundle of polka dot fabric, and we made a quilt from that bundle. Now this knitting bag was something I was interested in getting. I have spent years using little knitting bags and this looked to be much more practical. It's actually a backpack which I think is a great idea, being able to...| Alanda Craft
