Fun Quilts You Can Do Too
I don’t think it’s any secret that I am a cat person. Perhaps not as passionate about them as when I was a child, but I still love having a friendly cat around the house to admire my quilting and to test my quilts.
This week though, cat art seemed to specifically catch my attention all over the place.
It started with a picture of a mummified cat I saw on Kathryn Kerr’s site for her 365 challenge sampler……

Let’s begin March with a ‘Bang”! At least, we probably would if this was a real balloon koala. It is so hot here today that balloons taken outside would not last very long at all. Luckily, March’s first balloon animal for the Love with a Twist quilt along is of the more permanent variety and totally chilled. “Kuddly Koala” is not going anywhere, having found the perfect spot to hang out on my Love with a Twist quilts.
Also impatient as he is cute, Kuddly Koala introduced himself early on Tuesday. But now we have the free download ready to go, so let’s have a proper look at this appliqué. Keep reading to collect your koala balloon pdf pattern and find out all the details for making the most of the next block of the Love with a Twist quilt along.

It’s only the 24th of February and I have completed this month’s planned Love with a Twist February blocks. And even better, the patterns too! Wonders never cease!
Today’s Love Balloon pattern is the second option for the large centre block of the Love with a Twist throw size quilts. You’ll also need it for the twin size quilt. It’s an easy block, I think the fastest so far. It only has two fabrics and no extra details to embroider.
Grab your pdf pattern download below, take a quick look at the assembly order and go for it. We all love a quick project. Also, once you have grabbed your pattern, it’d be great if you’d share your win with your friends. It’s always good to share the love around!
Continue reading “Love with a Twist Signature Block”February’s first block for the Love with a Twist quilt along is “Happy Hog”, the prancing balloon pig. It seems only fitting to do the pig block next as the first block of the new Lunar year.
Too cute and ready to play, today’s pig balloon appliqué is one of the centre block options for the throw size versions of Love with a Twist. Of course, you will also need to collect Happy Hog if you are making the full twin-size quilt. In the latter, she struts her stuff in the top right hand corner.

Finally, it’s here – the first appliqué for the Love with a Twist quilt along! You will find the free downloadable balloon poodle appliqué pattern within this post. And a short pictorial on how to put it together too.
You know how I have always had every intention of this quilt along being a little relaxed and random in its delivery?…. Well, that is still so. But I didn’t really intend for it to be quite this long between the throw-size quilt construction instructions and the release of Block 1A. Apologies! But with my Triangle Friends magazine quilt publication, and my big 2018 Island Batik Ambassador finale quilt due, and getting set up for the new 2019 Island Batik Ambassador year, it’s been kinda crazy here. I hope you have enjoyed the eye candy in the meantime. And I hope you’ve got your Love with a Twist fabrics all ready to go.
Yes? Well, let’s get on with the 2019 Clever Chameleon quilt along then! I am loving this one already.
