Lots of Blocks






















































































































































The sewing fun continues!  First up is a grouping of all of the blocks for Donna's quilt along.  I finished number six and really like how it fits in with the rest of them.  Three blocks are done for the Christmas quilt that Trish and I are each making.  I love seeing how we each are using the same bundle of fabric to get different blocks.  Trish is such a dear friend of mine that sewing together across all these miles is very special to me.  I decided to tackle my fear of templates and join in with Charise and her Vintage block quilt along.  I am thrilled with how the first two turned out.  The pink one is called "Rose Dream" and required curved piecing and the yellow and aqua block is called "Night & Day" and required sewing Y seams.  The rest of the group is way ahead of me but that's ok, I'll make it slowly so I don't make a bunch of mistakes.  What are you working on today?

Smiles,

  5. Now that looks like fun! I love your combination of fabrics. I especially like the block in the first photo with the pink, yellow and turquoise. Looks like you're looking through a curtained window into a bakery shop :)
    Had to put away my fall table runner that I've been working on as I knew it wouldn't get done in time. Top priority is the Christmas stocking I'm making from a kit for grandchild #6.
