Today’s video is a Remembrance Day quilt project, and I’m sharing it as a tribute to Canadian Armed Forces members—those currently serving, our veterans, and those who have passed. I made this quilt for Quilts of Valour Canada, which is all about wrapping service personnel in a hug of warmth and thanks. I’m using a gorgeous Northcott Canadiana fabric collection I’ve built up over time (lots of bits and pieces from friends and leftovers from other projects), but this design would look absolutely fantastic in a completely scrappy version too. I walk you through my planning and “quilting math” for a very simple, very effective block that behaves a bit like a half square triangle (or even a half log cabin feel). I’m working with 2 1/2" strips and squares to keep it truly scrap friendly, aiming for a 6 1/2" block and a layout of 10 by 12 blocks (120 total) for a quilt around 60" by 70". I also share my pressing strategy—nesting seams instead of pressing open—so assembly goes faster, plus a few practical tips for sprinkling standout fabrics across the quilt. The magic here is the layout: just twisting blocks in different directions creates beautiful rows and furrows with a bold, graphic look.
