Welcome to another “Three of 3 on A Tuesday”.
I will have THREE things or links of 3 topics for you to visit/read every Tuesday to either showcase tutorials, inspirations, random daily thoughts or it could be any fabric/notion sales running that particular week.
So for today, here are the THREE of 3 things:
Picking fabrics, playing mix and match with the fabrics from my stash, auditioning them for a quilt or any patchwork project is my favourite part of the quilting process.
While I do love using the pre-made original bundle of fabrics by the designers as in the quilts I made HERE, HERE
, and HERE….
there are joy and more of my own touch in quilts that I make by mix-matching fabrics from various designers and fabric line. Examples of such quilts are HERE and HERE.
In this post, I am going to share my process of picking fabrics for a quilt. Maybe you have a similar process as I do and would like to add more, or maybe you’ll be picking up something new from this post.
Whatever it is, let’s share it. Leave a comment. Pin the image by clicking the Pinterest button on the top left-hand corner 🙂
Progress matters than perfection.
Little by little you’ll get there.
I love that the process of making a quilt is really about making small progress each day/each session you have.
It reminds you that in life if you want anything – make progress towards it every day. Even just a tiny step.
Even if it just means what you do that day is simply a two minute pray.
I believe in miracles, I believe in the impossible.
I believe that all big things come with little steps.
And I hope all of you are making that tiny steps towards whatever you are aiming for, be it a calming life, a farmhouse life (my dream), a creative dream or even just to live life the fullest.
Best read for the little progress, big dreams: Cultivate + Make it Happen.
Anyway, today I have a little update on what’s cooking in my sewing room:
Welcome to “Three of 3 on A Tuesday”.
This is the very first edition of this, hopefully, that it’ll be something fun to have on this blog.
I will have THREE things or links of 3 topics for you to visit/read every Tuesday to either showcase tutorials, inspirations, random daily thoughts or it could be any fabric/notion sales running that particular week.
So for today, here are the THREE of 3 things:
I love scrappy.
Especially tiny pieces of scrappy fabrics pieced together.
And my favourite way of using small tiny pieces is using a foundation paper piecing technique.
Now, if you have not heard or tried this method. Or even fear of it. Please don’t. You will be missing out the fun.
It may seems intimidating at first to do paper piecing. I knew I was too, when I first started with paper piecing, but the final look of it really just surpasses my fear. Perfect point, no worries about the seam allowance. So, it was totally worth it.
Now, if you don’t want to start with all the complicated paper piecing, start with a simple log cabin.
And if you want to add in a bit more fun AND a little bit of challenge, try this pattern!
I have a few W.I.P projects that made some progress over these two weeks:
Here is a little progress photo
I am just popping in quickly to let you know a great deal of quilting books on sale!
I love collecting and browsing through quilting books, and magazines…
They are just eye candy. And I love it that whenever I don’t have a project in mind, I can always refer to any of them and pick up some new inspiration and be ready to go.
While I am working on my double wedding ring quilt, and quilting away, I got an idea to quilt hearts.
And since I ran out of 
Besides, it gets boring just working on one project at a time. Says me – who can never really focus on getting one thing done at one time. 😛
I hope you are not sick yet of seeing this double wedding ring quilt.
It will be a marathon with this one, I am in the attempt to try and finish this soon. So, I made it as my January UFO finish, just to keep me accountable to finish it.
I am doing a UFO challenge with APQchallenge this year so, let’s hope this is a great start.
I have always loved reflecting back at the end of the year, listing out all the things that worked and things that didn’t, so I can plan for a better coming year. In this post, I review a little bit of my progress as a quilt blogger.

This year, I thought I would do a reflect and planning here on the blog about my blogging business.
Yes. I am calling it a business now.
You’ll understand why in a while.
But before I go deep into that, I do want to make a little clearance first onto why I decide to write this here and share them with you.
