Hello Sewing Friends! I'm excited to share my Woven Stripes Mini Quilt from my June Maxie Mail Subscription Box. Woven Stripes is a fun pattern that uses striped fabrics to create a mesmerizing design!
Don't worry - even though this quilt looks complicated - it's NOT plus Maxie shows you tips and tricks! Hint - use your your Fussy Cut and Square-up Ruler set and your Strip Stick from your Cool Tools Box from May!
Let's chat more about the June Maxie Mail Box-
- Legendary Art Gallery Fabrics by Pat Bravo - Fabric for Quilt top, backing, AND binding!
- Gutterman thread
- Make it Simpler® Fusible Interfacing
- Olfa Rotary Cutting Blade
- Pattern plus Video
- Tea
Let's start making our Woven Strips Quilt!
First - admire the gorgeous fabrics! I just love the feel and quality of Art Gallery Fabrics! Plus the top floral is my favorite!!! Wouldn't it make a gorgeous whole cloth quilt or dress or shirt for myself?!?!
Before I start cutting or sewing my Maxie Mail project, I ALWAYS read through the included pattern and watch Maxie's videos. Her videos are so helpful and explain every step! I love being able to learn new sewing techniques every month.
Tips:
- Use your your Fussy Cut and Square-up Ruler set to trim your blocks. The lines on the ruler - make it super easy! The Fussy Cut and Square-up Ruler set is absolutely amazing!!!
- If you haven't changed your rotary blade in a bit - do it! A sharp rotary blade makes it so much easier to cut your fabric and trim up your blocks! Plus Maxie included a new blade in your box - hooray!
- Use up your batting scraps by fusing them together with the Make it Simpler Fusible Interfacing. You can machine quilt over the interfacing just fine - no gumming up of your needle!
- I chose to add a zipper to my Woven Stripes Quilt so it could be a pillow too! I love a versatile project!
Don't worry - you can still order the June Box and sew yourself a Woven Stripes Mini Quilt. You will LOVE it!

I enjoy receiving my Maxie Mail Subscription Sewing Box each month! I love how Maxie always teaches us a new technique and includes the supplies to make the project! It is truly a "class in a box". The Maxie Mail Subscription Sewing Box is great for anyone who loves sewing and quilting! I love how I can take a class right in my home! Plus the projects are always useful and beautiful!
