I’ve been cranking these blocks out for sure! I generally don’t do “scrappy” very well, I’m kind of picking the fabrics at random from the two fat quarter bundles of Blueberry Park fabric that I’m using. I think they’re all coming out great! 🙂 Block #8 – Starboard: Block #9 – Spin the Bottle: Block… Continue reading In Progress – Quilt Block Cookbook QAL
My top for this quilt is almost finished! The final layout was released on February 2nd and I’m just now laying out my blocks. I really like the color scheme I chose. I’m debating about adding a border around the outside to make this one a little bigger, but I’ll decide after I get the… Continue reading In Progress – Meadow Mystery Quilt

This quilt top is in the home stretch now. I’ve added a small border around the edge and I’m debating about not adding the flags like I was planning. I made a mistake when I was doing the math and ended up cutting the sashing strips for the flags too small. I think I may… Continue reading In Progress – Home Sweet Home Quilt
I got a little bit behind on my Fat Quarter Shop 2016 Designer Mystery Block of the Month blocks. I finally got 7 & 8 done last week. These are going to look so cute when they’re all put together! I can’t wait to get the kit for #9 next month. 🙂 #7: #8:
I’ve finally finished up all sixteen of my Swoon blocks. Now I need to decide on how to set them and what sashing to use. I’ll probably end up using the same Essex linen that I used for the background. 🙂
I’ve had The Quilt Block Cookbook for several months, but hadn’t gotten around to doing anything with it. Back in December, I saw that Amy over at Stitchery Dickory Dock was getting ready to host a Cookbook Quilt Along, so I decided to join in. I’d been hoarding two fat quarter bundles of Blueberry Park… Continue reading In Progress – Quilt Block Cookbook QAL
I saw this Hometown USA Quilt and decided I wanted to make something similar. I already had the Summerville kit for the center portion and the Stars & Stripes pattern for the outer border. I’m going to add a plain border instead of the pinwheel blocks around the Summerville portion and then the outer border… Continue reading In Progress – Home Sweet Home Quilt
I’ve been flipping back and forth between three projects for the past week or so. mel_is_a_swapaholic on Instagram is hosting #SwoonQAL2017 and I’m participating. I’m using the Swoon Sixteen pattern and the Boo! line from Cotton + Steel with Flax Essex linen as the background. I’m very proud of myself because I pulled all the… Continue reading In Progress – Boo Swoon Sixteen Quilt
The 2016 Finish-A-Long helped spur me to complete 18 projects, so I’m going to continue with it this year! Here are my proposed finishes for Q1 of 2017: 1. Bonnie & Camille Log Cabin Block Swap Again – I’ve completed and mailed my blocks, so I should be receiving my return shipment in mid-February. I’m… Continue reading In Progress – 2017 Finish-A-Long – Q1 Proposed Finishes
