Category: Block of the Month
Well, it looks like I am participating in a Christmas Block of the Month. I admit I was a bit surprised when this arrived in the mail. I recall seeing it and being interested, but I actually have no recollection of joining and ordering it. Oops. Must have been shopping with chardonnay again. I do […]
I know there seem to be an awful lot of sew-alongs going on right now. You may have held off joining in on any of them. The current Serendipity Sew-Along hosted by the Fatquarter Shop might change your mind. This is the quilt Fatquarter Shop is making. They are using Corey Yoder's Spring Brook fabric […]
2020 is turning into The Year of the Sew Along for me. In our current lockdown situation, so many designers, quilt shops, and groups are hosting the most fun sew alongs. If we are stuck in the house, surrounded by our fabric stashes, why not make the most of it! I have an all-time high […]
I've been tossing BlockHeads 1 blocks right and left. I stare at my blocks on the design wall and see one that looks too dark, or one that looks too light, or one that has too much orange and "snap", it's out. And good grief, is anyone else troubled by blocks that look like swastikas? […]
When I realized I needed more six inch blocks for the setting I have in mind for my BlockHeads1 sampler quilt, I started searching for block resources. The Summer Moon Block of the Month was quite popular last year, and a book has been published to go along with the sew along. The blocks in […]
This is the first completed block in a Kim Diehl table runner that is made up of seven of these little guys. It took quite some time to put it together, as each of those block triangles is actually two folded corner triangle units sewn together. You do the sew and flip method with the […]
What a wonderful peaceful weekend I had! On Saturday I got three more ModaBlockheads blocks done. You will notice one of them is a remake. I ended up remaking the block on the right with a darker background. I was going to try tea dying the lighter background one, but wasn't sure if after a […]
On the left we have a 6 1/2" block. This was Block #1 in the 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along. I like it a lot. The block on the right has a 4 1/2" version of Block #1, surrounded by star points. That block is 8 1/2" square. I am crazy in love with […]
Welcome to the final reveal of the Blogger Girls BOM, hosted by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. This beautiful design of Monique's has been such fun to work on over the past six months. Monique designed a total of six quilt blocks, one a month, starting in January. She had clever alternate color suggestions, […]
It doesn't seem possible, but month six in the Blogger Girls BOM program is here already. My two blocks did come out quite different looking, which is good. I started with the variation block (pictured on the bottom), because I was really challenged by the difficulty of making sure I cut out the right fabrics […]
