Hi , 

Have you ever built a custom quilting tool for your sewing space? There are many quilting tools I have built to fit my space that help me construct beautiful quilts. 

The one I use daily, and value the most is my design wall(s)! A well-built quilt design wall allows you to:

1. Arrange quilt blocks easily without pinning.
2. Has space to allow you to step back and see the quilt from a distance.
3. Helps you pick colors and fabrics to compliment your quilt blocks.
4. Generally improves your patchwork and design skills with every quilt.

See how I construct a design wall in less than 60 seconds in this video:

Build a Design Wall the Easy Way

The best part about a quilt design wall is you can build them yourself with materials you can find easily at your local hardware store and Walmart. In my opinion, if you're serious about quilting and want to design your own quilts, a design wall is an essential tool for success.

Awesome Accessories Included in August!

This month we have some really great deals on Grace Qnique longarm machines and the Little Rebel - which are being bundled with a huge accessory kit - valued at over $1000 in quilting supplies:

My favorite accessories in this kit are the 3 Piece Hopping Foot Kit and Qnique Laser light. Having more feet and bobbins, and the ability to trace designs from the front of your machine will help you get started longarm quilting on the right foot.

The Free Motion Starter Kit is also a great accessory filled with fun gear for a beginner quilters. Click Here to find my tutorial series using the Free Motion Quilting Starter Kit!

Do You Use a Design Wall?

I really hope today's tutorial will inspire you to construct your own design wall if you don't have one. Oh, and if you're interested in the 4 patch blocks shown in the video, check out my free scrappy 4 patch quilt pattern here.

That's it for this week, . I can't wait to share more about where I'm setting up these new quilt design walls... 

By the way, did you enjoy seeing a quick clip of James in the video? He's grown quite a bit since the start of the Free Motion Quilting Project and now he's taller than me! Hard to believe this was us just 16 years ago...

Let's go quilt,
