Sugar Grove PDF Pattern Gift-Away!


Happy Friday, quilty friends!

Mid-month means new pattern releases and fun gift-aways!

And there have been so many questions as to when I would be releasing Sugar Grove

"I have to make this!" "Oh, I just love the motion!" "This would make such a great Leader & Ender project!

And I am delighted!  I'm also delighted that the folks at  Cotton to Quilts are also providing 2 fabric rolls for our gift-away - read on for more details!


My inspiration?  This antique quilt I found on one of my jaunts - I LOVED it then, and captured a photo to use as one of my "Quiltville Quotes" and I had thought to myself "How crazy does someone have to be to make a quilt out of so many scrappy triangles?

Well, evidently THIS crazy!  Because before I knew it I was pulling strips and making blocks.


Unlike the quilter of yesteryear who likely used a cardboard template and cut her pieces by hand - I pulled strips from my Scrap User's System - matched neutral strips to colored strips with right sides together and quickly cut triangle pairs ready to sew using my Essential Triangle Tool.

I was on a mission.  These strips needed a place to shine.  

I was matching really odd things to other odd things and coming up with combos that made ME happy and put these strips to good use.

The plan was to cut as many triangle pairs as I could from each pairing - and they could be used in several different blocks in different locations within each block.

No strips were to go back in the drawer!


Check these out!

I absolutely adore the hedgehogs.

So fun!

(And I spy some Downton Abbey too!)


Everything came together with the quilting.

(Do you spy some sparkly Y2K??)


I quilted with a sand colored thread using an edge-to-edge design called A Little Bit This by Barbara Becker. Perfect as there is a whole LOT of THIS and of THAT in this quilt!


I bound it in blue - happy to use up the last 1/2 yard of this fabric from the stash, leaving a bit more breathing room on my shelf.

Sew many happy scraps!

If I had to say what my favorite part about this pattern is - it's a toss up between the 3 ways included to make batches of half-square triangles and how I pressed so all blocks will nest when sewing block to block and row to row to complete the top.

(No, I'm not a press everything open girl - I get giddy when seams nest and lock into place!)


Captivating Triangles!

The ultimate in scrap stitching! This pattern includes full color photos and graphics and 3 different methods to ensure triangle success! Yes, you CAN make a dent in the scrap stash and have fun while doing it!

Quilt Size: 80’’ X 90’’

I'm going to call this quilt "potato chips." So cheerful and fun!

Is so fun to see the scraps up close. It’s also sort of bad though because I have so much fabric I need to use up but seeing all the fun randomness in your quilts makes me want to go collect more scraps :-) jennessa

We all have so many projects going but using leaders and enders will make this one a no braoner to start yet another project! 🤣

What a cool quilt! Seems totally random until you look closer and see the method. Genius!!!!

Jody said...

I am totally using this as my next leader and ender project (should I say also my first, I have a lot of those 'seeds' already though)! Will cut a bunch more for hsts as soon as I finish quilting Rhododendron Trail, but before I start the next quilt project ;-)

Tracey Honig said...

Another FABULOUS job!! Definetly a great leader/ender project! I love it when you give the close-ups and then play "I Spy" with the fabric! :) Ivy's pose was too sweet. Have a wonderful weekend!
