Good Vibes Only Blog Tour

Today is my day to share my project with you on the Good Vibes Only Blog Tour, hosted by Shayla Wolf of Sassafras Lane Designs.  Shayla is the designer of this bright and sunny line from Windham Fabrics that is sure to make you smile!  I'm so happy to be a part of this tour and to spend a bit a time with you! 

For those of you who don't know me, I have a crazy piecing method that's fast fun and fabulous, that I first used when I designed as Buggy Barn, and which I now continue as One Sister.  It's a stack, cut, shuffle, and piece-it-all-back-together method and is lots of fun!  And I do have demos on my homepage: just hover over the DEMO tab and click to select which demo you'd like to view.  (Any of my books with "Crazy" in the title uses this method of piecing). I selected this Sew Crazy Stars block from the Crazy Favorite Things book and I think it's a great way to showcase Shayla's Good Vibes Only fabric!  I added a black and white checkerboard sashing and binding that just makes those blocks pop! Some serious good vibes :-)

A candy cane binding is a fun way to finish a quilt, whether its a red and white striped binding for Christmas, or this fun black and white combo!  And its a snap to make!  Here's how I do it:  

1.  Cut 2-1/2" strips of your two color choices.
2. Stitch the strips together lengthwise, alternating colors, black, white, black, white to make a strip set with about 8 strips.  
3.  Cut your bias binding strips as shown below:

I hope you're having as much fun on this tour as I am! And the fun continues so just check out the schedule below and click on the links for each day and it'll be Good Vibes Only coming your way!  I have to share that Shayla's grandma, MaryEllen is a good friend and it's been so much fun to see how successful Shayla has been, first as a pattern designer, and now as a fabric designer! So congratulations Shayla, and keep up the great work!
