Mia & Stripology Quickies🏎️

On August 21st, Gudrun at GE Designs had a Stripology Quickies quilt along! The pattern is Mia, and here's my finished version!!!

Quilt Info:

Pattern: Mia from Stripology Quickies by Gudrun Erla

Size: 57" x 85"

Batting: Quilter Dream 100% Cotton Deluxe

Thread: Glide--Lightning

Pantograph: Modern Meander ⤵️ from Urban Elementz

Modern Meander is a pantograph I first heard about from Primitive Gatherings in Larsen, WI. They do weekly videos that include recent client quilts they've quilted. They said they put Modern Meander on 50% of all quilts they quilt! Not sure if I remember that right, because that sounds like a lot! But if it's that good, I wanted to try it out, too! I do love the diagonal texture it adds to this quilt!

I used fabrics from Yuzawaya in Tokyo, Japan, in every color!⤴️⤵️

More Japanese fabrics pieced together for the backing.⤵️

The Mia pattern is from Gudrun's newest book, Stripology Quickies. She did a teaching video on August 21st, which is still available on YouTube, here. You need the book, as well, to make the quilt. And having a Stripology Ruler is helpful, too. It really is a quick, fun quilt!!!

Quilt Info:

Pattern: Cut-offs from Frequency by GE Designs

Size: 20" x 18"

Batting: Quilter Dream Bamboo

Thread: Glide--Lightning

Pantograph: Indigo ⤵️ from Quilting It

This quilting is a Japanese sashiko design, so it fits perfect with these Japanese indigo prints! I don't use this pantograph very often because it is difficult to keep lining it up with the previous row, especially on a lap sized quilt or larger. There's a bit more control on a small quilt like this one.

I'm squeezing this mini quilt finish of mine in here. This was made from the cut-offs of my Frequency quilt, pictured below.⤵️ I didn't want to throw the trimmings out, so I arranged them into a squarish mini quilt.

It finishes 20" x 18".⤵️

Some leftover batting and backing, along with the cut-offs, makes this a free quilt, right?!

Gudrun is doing a year long quilt through her new Stripology Quickies book, which includes prep videos and class videos for 12 more of the patterns in her new book. Being a big GE fan, I signed up for it. The Mia quilt along was free, but there is a class fee for these 12 quilts.

Here are the 12 patterns we'll be making ⤴️, and the schedule over the next year ⤵️. We'll see how many I'm able to make!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
