"Pinning" for Friday: Kaleidoscope Quilt

"Pinning" For Friday is a weekly segment I will be posting every Thursday. What? Yes. Thursday. It's a pun on "Pining" for Friday. Huh... huh... Get it? I will feature a pin from one of my Pinterest boards and the clicking journey it leads me on!

This Thursday I'm featuring my Kaleidoscope quilt pin from Berlin Quilter. On this journey I discovered some great tutorials... one of which I was just talking about making to my mom on Saturday! Here's my journey:

These pictures used do not belong to me, but belong to:
Pinterest, Flickr, Berlin Quilter, and Red Pepper Quilts.

1) My pin.
2) berlinquilter's Flickr displaying the lovely finished quilt. I then went to her profile page, and discovered she has a quilting blog called...
3) Berlin Quilter. She has lovely fabric choices. My favorite pictures were of a gorgeously fun rocking chair she re-upholstered in giant pink and yellow HST's!
4) I then clicked on a button on the right side of her blog that took me to Red Pepper Quilts. This blog is filled with awesome colors and great tutorials! I may or may not have pinned a few things from here...
5) My favorite tutorials I found on Red Pepper Quilts are...
6) the Butterfly Block Tutorial. I was just talking about making a few pillows of these for my cousin and sister. Glad to have found this tutorial!
7) the Binding Tutorial. She zig-zags the raw edges of the binding together to keep it from moving and bunching... what a great idea! I'll have to try this on my next binding.

I enjoyed my journey, and I hope you did too! Maybe you'll go explore your pins now and discover some great new resources like I did. That reminds me... did you enter the Sew Me A Song Giveaway yet!? It ends tomorrow, Friday, May 17th at 11:59 pm.

"Pinning" For Friday: Fire Drill

"Pinning" For Friday is a weekly segment I will be posting every Thursday. What? Yes. Thursday. It's a pun on "Pining" for Friday. Huh... huh... Get it? I will feature a pin from one of my Pinterest boards and the clicking journey it leads me on!

This week I re-fell in love with the above pin. I love the colors and the layout of the quilt. Actually, this pin is what inspired the "Pinning For Friday" segment. I wanted to know what it was called, who made it, what it was inspired by, where I could find the pattern, what fabric was used, etc. Let's begin!!

These images are not my own and belong to: Timeless Treasures, Pinterest, Flickr,
Erica Jackman, ginapina, Erica Chapman, and C&T Publishing.

1) My pin.
2) Flickr post of the picture. What I learned here: Erica Jackman of Kitchen Table Quilting made this quilt.
3) Blogged on her website. The pattern is called "Fire Drill" created by Elizabeth Hartman found in her 2nd book. What is her second book!?
4) ...side note... The fabric used is Habitat by Jay McCarroll.
5) Search for "Fire Drill Quilt"
6) Lead to this blog post, by the Erica Chapman. Here I found out her second book is called Modern Patchwork: 12 Quilts to Take You Beyond the Basics.
7) Book found here! Which I will be ordering soon! I also found out I already own one of her books: Practical Guide to Patchwork which I love!

I hope that you enjoyed this journey, and that it will lead you to check out some of your pins a bit more carefully!
