Category: Block of the Month
Here is the latest update on Hourglass, the Block of the Month I have been doing with Quilt Spot. I pretty much saved it up all year and only just started making the blocks in the last month or so. I have completed all the alternate log cabin blocks and all the monthly blocks through […]
Going into the weekend I thought I would share with you a few things I worked on this week and a couple of great books I am enjoying. This quilt block is the 9th in the Moda Blockheads5 sew-along. It is called Candy Stripe Holly Star or some such thing, but I call it Day […]
I have not shared much about this block-of-the-month program, because I haven't been working on it. I signed up a year ago and the 11th month just arrived yesterday. The box where I was storing the monthly packages was getting full, so I opened it up yesterday and decided it was time to start in […]
I actually LOVE this Moda Blockheads Block 8 by Robin Pickens. My execution of it? Mmm, not so much. I had a devil of a time with the square in the square block units. First off, I made four perfect units in the wrong size. And of course, you can't trim those down. I am […]
The next step in the Sampler Spree Quilt project is to sew each group of four blocks into a larger 13 1/2" block with lattices. Here are my first two blocks. 23 more to go! Next, these four block quadrants will be separated by another lattice of cream and brown Grunge fabric. This has been […]
I joined the Designer Mystery 2023 block of the month sew-along, but up until this weekend, I had not made a single block. I spent Saturday and Sunday starching all my fabric and got two blocks made. I decided to make the block frames and latices as I go so I don't end up with […]
I didn't sew much yesterday, but did make four blocks for month 3 of the Halloween Figs sew along by Quilt Spot. I made two little orange "simple stars", the top block on the right that looks kind of like four flowers, and the little orange and black pinwheel block below it. This is a […]
I did it! I got all the blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022/23 project finished! Now, I have to say, those bold log cabin alternate blocks absolutely make the quilt, don't you think? I am quite pleased with how it all came together. I'll start sewing the blocks together in rows today. My gorgeous border […]
Good progress is being made with the Log Cabin alternate blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022/23 project. These are actually fun to make and are going together quickly and accurately. It helps me pass the time while sewing to listen to a good audiobook, and I've listened to a couple of them lately, which will […]
I am calling this my Americana Sew Along Sampler Quilt. I made it as a block of the month saga during COVID. It was a sew-along sponsored by Debbie at Piecing the Past Quilts. I forget the name of the sew-along, Comfort and Joy, Peace and Happiness? I forget. It is my Americana Circus Tent. […]
