Ohio Star Quilt Palette Cleanser! 💖 #TulaTalk | Happy Tuesday my friends! This video was filmed last month in November but I can’t get over how rad this quilt turned out so I have to show you! This... | By Tula Pink | Hi friends. It's Tuesday. I'm Tula. We're talking about quilts and stuff because why not? So fall slash winter setting in which is very exciting for me because my sweater game is generally pretty strong. So I look forward to this time of year. Um my jacket and boot game is also very solid. But you guys don't really get to see that unless we film outside. Um but so today I thought you know these videos we base like I get up Cameron comes up and he says hey we gotta make a video today it's Tuesday and then I go okay and then we look around and then we find something to talk about. That's about as elaborate as these things get. So I was I wanted to show you something I've been working on this past week. So sometimes I need like a palette cleanser right like I've been designing designing designing or making making or filling out lots of paperwork more often than not and so every once in a while I needed to like clear the slate and the best way for me to clear the slate is to just sew like sort of that like absent minded sewing you know is sort of where I really get to like clear all the cobwebs out clear everything out of my brain and sort of start fresh so I gave my a week to sew just anything and I really wanted to do something that I could really play with color on so that was sort of my main goal is to take all these new fabrics I have all these true colors all these solids now we've got tiny dots and tiny stripes to work with and just really play with it so that's what I did so I took Lily's apparently something to eat on the floor over there. It's very adorable. Anyway Lily's the dog by the way if not like a human. Um so I mean our humans don't eat off the floor. I digress. So what I did is I took all my solids. Like the whole lot. Which is 40 something solids. I took like a just a fat quarter bundle of all the solids. And then I took fat quarters of a lot of the true colors. I think the only one I didn't use was the hexi one because I feel like I used that a lot so I wanted to really play with the other ones more. Um so I took the Y flowers. What else did I take? Uh the mineral print, was it really just those? No, fairy dust, tiny dots, and tiny stripes. So, I took all of the colors and I didn't pre-plan any of it and I cut the same fabrics out of each one. So, I knew I wanted to make this little Ohio Star Block. That was my only objective is I I've actually never made an Ohio Star Block. I mean, it's it's I've made a lot of derivatives of it or like sort of variations of it like an eight point star. I've made about a billion of those because it's my favorite block but I've never really made like a like a traditional Ohio Star Block. So, I worked out the math. I just looked up the math on how to figure out an Ohio Star Block and decided on my block size which was just six inches and then cut all the fabrics for all of these for this piece, this piece and the background from every single fabric of 100 fabrics. Solids and true colors. And then just mixed them up. Like as I went there was like no plan for this in the beginning other than 106 inch Ohio Star blocks. So that was my only objective. And then it was just so another thing that I do kind of as I go like as I'm cutting out things for different quilts I will fussy cut a 2 1/ 2 inch square. Do it all the time. Um just to have lying around for something someday. Um so I had all of these centerpiece 2 1/ 2 inch squares. They were all fussy cut from all different fabric lines. So what's in here is mostly tinybeasts because that's new and my favorite right now. So but I have all these ones from old collections too. Just these two and1/ 2 inch squares that I just have like I keep in like a little project bag. And so that's how I came up with the six inch block because the block is divided into three sections. So two and 1 half inch squares equals a two-inch finish blocks so that equals a six-inch block. Basic math. Um so and it's a lot like my hundred modern blocks book. Six inch blocks. So I knew how to work with that amount of blocks in those sizes. So I took each little center and then pulled this piece then the points and then the background to go with each one and it was super fun because I was choosing colors on the fly. So that's one thing like if I'm making one block 100 times that can get really really boring. Um so then it becomes about color. Right? So that's what makes it interesting. And that's what keeps it fun. So I just took a week and made 10Ohio Star blocks out of all these fabrics and all these little two and1/ 2 inch squares that I had laying around and I'm crazy psyched with how it turned out. Um I love a traditional quilt. Like a really tried and true traditional quilt. Um it's why I like to quilt instead of doing other things. I love the traditional quilting. I love the look of traditional quilt. The only different is color. So like I just like to do it in brighter colors. Beige is a perfectly fine color. It's just not one in my repertoire. So So, here's what we turned out with. You can't even really see the whole thing but hundred Ohio stars in 100 different fabrics. But what turned out really fun was the combination of fabrics. So it was really fun to go in and do some of the things that were sort of expected like this block here. Right? So I have the little bear from Tiny Beast. And then these the.and the stripe here are almost the same but just reverse. But then in order to create contrast because I don't really work in light and dark so much. I tend to create contrast through color. I pulled the from this little bee that's in the very center of this little bear's forehead and that's how I chose the background so I tried to choose colors that sort of match the fabric for the center two colors and then something really high contrast for the outside. So like same with this block. So this block here this color this color here is pulled from that. This color is pulled from the from the ladybug and then this dark green here is actually pulled from the ladybug's little antlers. So it's like the smallest color in the piece and I do that and so it was really fun trying to like pull out colors that would give it some other vibe make it look like something else and then just getting to do that over and over and over again and then I set it when it came time to setting that was a little bit trickier because I basically use like every fabric that I have so I had to go outside of my own fabric which is difficult and foreign territory for me but I found this really great stripe from Robert Coffman and it's like a chambraid stripe. So I ended up purchasing the wide stripe and then the matching sort of narrow stripe. So my plan is to make this to add borders to this and take the coordinating stripe. Like I love having the same fabric in two different sizes and using that to play off of because typically you'd use your smaller fabric in the sashing because it's a smaller piece and then your larger print in the border because it's a larger piece of fabric. That's just common sense. So but whenever I'm sewing I'm always looking to like flip those things around. I mean it's not like a crazy concept or anything but it's kind of like whatever's expected. I want to do the opposite of it. Um so I bought these two fabrics. I bought equal amounts of these two fabrics just to play around with. I wasn't really sure in the beginning how I was going to set it all together. Um but once I got them I think I was in my mind always intending for these two to be flipped. But then once I got it I thought well that would be really cool to switch it out and have the big print in the smallest piece and the little print and the biggest piece. But my plan is little bit more intense than that because I cannot leave well enough alone really at any time. So my plan is I found this there's this vintage quilt in in a book I have that has applique words on the border. It's essentially the quilt label is written out on the borders in applique lettering. So I'm going to attempt to do that on these borders which is why I think the smaller print will work. So I'm going to take all the colors that are in the center and applique where the quilt was made, the date it was made, like all the things, well not all the things but a lot of the things that would normally be on a quilt label, really small on the back. I'm going to embroider or not embroider applique large around the edge. So, that's my plan which is mildly ambitious at this point but this quilt has no like general purpose necessarily. It's not for anything so I feel like I can take as long as I darn well please on it. Um you know it's oh this is one of my favorite blocks. We have to show this one. Now I'm looking at all the blocks. Um so this is one of my favorite blocks. With curiousr with Jojo's little face. Or Alice. Sorry it's my sister Joe. But her little face peeking up over the block. I thought that turned out really cool. There's another one of her down here. So there's another one. Cuz her face wouldn't fit in a two and 1/ 2 inch square. And so that was another fun thing. Like the image doesn't fit in the place you're trying to use it don't try to center it why it doesn't fit throw it off and make it something else so I feel like these little blocks look like a window with her sort of peeking out of it and I did that on a few of them you know on this one you've got the octopus sort of off center what else we got here what else is in here all different things but so there's pieces oh here's one where it's sort of more centered so got the queen from Curiouser Centered. You know sometimes when you're cutting stuff out like this one is just the center of the frog's belly from the prince charming frog. Um Sometimes what happens when because I design real kind of biggest prints is you get you're left over like once you're done cutting something out from a quilt you're I'm often left with like pieces that aren't to hold anything. Right? And that fabric still has a purpose. Like I can cut out a weird bit of it. You know it doesn't need to be smack dab center in the middle of a thing. Like I can cut out something from the fabric that's you know maybe doesn't seem as useful in the moment like we've got the little crab from curiouser here and I'm a cancer so not that that's a big thing in my life but I am and we're crabby so there's that we've got like just ahead from one of the cats that was left over like I had cut out of that fabric a whole cat and I cut into the cat above it so he had no legs very sad but then you can always keep him close but So I just had like a random floating head with no body. So cut that into a little two and1/ 2 inch square. So I do that as I'm working as I'm making a quilt. I'll take the little bits if there's something left and just cut a two and1/ 2 square out of it and just set it aside. I've been doing it for years. And so I have these bags in two and a/ 2 inch squares. And so I could make a million things with them. Um so for this one I just picked out the ones that I thought best worked and that would give me the most variety. But what was really was just picking out the colors and having sort of surprising color variations. Let me see if I can hold this up. So you can see sort of the whole the whole ish thing. Here hold the whole time. Oh can you still see it that way? Just hold tight. Trying. Trying. Trying. Yeah. So here's where we finished it. And by we I mean me because I'm the owners of it. Um but I think the stripe makes it move around like a solid sashing wouldn't have created nearly the interest I like it when something's dizzy and full and exuberant you know that looks happy and fun and like every area sort of an opportunity for something and then I used these little because I was using a stripe and this is a really important part of this because I was using a stripe in the sashing it was really important that I have a cornerstone which is what this little pieces that goes at the corner of each block that's called the cornerstone because if I had just sashed these pieces like this and then turned the stripe this way and ran it straight across without a break here where this stripe going this way hit this stripe going this way it would have looked weird like it would've you would have seen the break of the stripe right like a bit changing directions where it hits each other and clashes so I added the cornerstone kind of last minute. Um so that it looks intentional all the way around and it wasn't hard to cut as long as I cut across the stripe. It doesn't have to be like you can see it's not centered on here or anything. That doesn't matter because it's not hitting another stripe because this cornerstone is breaking breaking where the stripes hit. So, a lot of times people are like a little nervous about working with stripes but stripes can create kind of the most dynamic quality in a quilt in my opinion and you just have to be just a little bit more like on the ball with how you're breaking it up so you have to pay attention to it a little bit more but it's really not scary as long as they're not running into each other then you don't have to be super careful with them like I was not super careful when I was cutting out these stripes and then for the cornerstone I chose this from palms one of my true color palms fabric like just because this blue sort of touched on the blue that was in the stripe that's the only thing I thought about so I wasn't thinking about like what fabric matches every in the quilt. There's no fabric that's going to do that unless it's like rainbow vomit which sounds amazing but would have maybe distracted from because I really wanted you to see the blocks but just because the blocks are the focal doesn't mean that the sashing shouldn't be considered like I think the sashing is a really important part. It's what holds the whole thing together. So, keeping that interesting is really important to me also. So, that's my thought process. This is my palette cleanser quilt. So, I can start designing again and looking at things again and sewing again and all of that stuff. Sometimes I just need to clear out the brain and that's with something that there's no like big emphasis on. Like I don't have to finish it for a deadline. I don't have to it doesn't have to serve a purpose. It doesn't have to sell a specific fabric collection or you know highlight a specific feature but just something where I just get to sew for fun while I watch Buffett Vampire Slayer on on Netflix. That's just basically my my thing. So my Ohio Star quote. That's it. Thanks.
