More Prairie Cactus

KT Winner

Congratulations to our winner this week:

Tu-Na Quilts -Of course, throw my name into the hat to win this box of scraps. I'm making a 1.5" postage stamp quilt so I can handle even small scraps. Very lovely quilts you've featured.

I hope you enjoy your box of Prairie Cactus scraps. Send pics of your finished postage stamp quilt. Sounds awesome!

More Prairie Cactus

If the Cactus Stars lap quilt from last week is more than you want to tackle before Christmas, how about a smaller project perfect for gift giving? Perhaps a runner...

 ...or a pillow?
Both of these projects are from the Prairie Cactus booklet along with last week's Cactus Stars quilt. The runner offers a generous background for a centerpiece without competing with the quilt's design. It features our small diamond template. The cactus points are made just like the Cactus Star. Layer a diamond over a triangle, topstitch, sew half squares together, done! 

The pillow is even simpler using just 3 Prairie Cactus fabrics and the large diamond template. It makes an 18" pillow with a split back so you can easily cover an everyday pillow for the holidays.

Kits are available for both of these projects at ktquilts.com. 

Don't forget our November Special - Prairie Cactus fabric is $9/yd. and the Prairie Cactus booklet with 6 projects is $12.  

Comment this week to win a fat quarter 6-pack of assorted Prairie Cactus fabrics.

Watch for a special post this Friday for a chance to win some super prizes from Martingale and Moda - Martingale's new Moda Mini Marvel's book or a bag of 15 Moda Mini Charms. So fun! We'll have the link here.

  11. I love that table runner pattern. Table runners with plain centers work best for me since I tend to put a vase or some other type decoration on top. I hate to cover pretty patchwork so I prefer the plain centers.

  15. Such a fun table runner. And it could be made quickly. At this time of year I like quick. But I also like it to look like more than fabric slapped together. And you are so smart to suggest the pillow be just a cover. I don't have storage for pillows that I only display one month a year. Thanks.
