Several months ago, Fat Quarter Shop announced their 2016 Designer Mystery Block of the Month.

My first block, along with the finishing kit and backing set arrived a few days… Continue reading In Progress – FQS 2016 Designer Mystery Block of the Month – Block 1
Wow! I can’t believe we’re six weeks into the Summer Sampler 2016 QAL already!! This week’s block is called Corner Canyon. Isn’t it pretty? Each new block just solidifies my love of this color scheme further and further! 🙂 Here are all six of my blocks so far: This is going to be such a… Continue reading In Progress – Summer Sampler 2016 – Block 6
I know I say this every time I post one of these blocks, but I’m having so much fun making this quilt! Block 5 is called Sugarhouse and I used Kona solids – white, Jamaica and Persimmon. This turquoise and orange color scheme is really speaking to me. 🙂 Here are all five of my… Continue reading In Progress – Summer Sampler 2016 – Block 5
I got a lot done this weekend! I wanted to get the pieced backing done for my daughter’s Minecraft quilt so I could get it off to the quilter. I’d like to have it done by the end of June so I can count it as a finish for Q2 of the 2016 Finish-A-Long. I… Continue reading In Progress – Minecraft Quilt – Almost Done
Kelli over at That Looks Like It Needs Stitches posted a picture of an Ender Dragon that she is going to make for her son’s Minecraft Quilt.

I made the four quadrants that each look like this: The four quadrants get sewed together into an X… Continue reading In Progress – Summer Sampler 2016 – Block 4
A couple of weeks ago, I signed up for Wifeoferp’s Bonnie & Camille Barn Quilt Swap. I’m not usually one to participate in swaps, but this one combined one of my favorite fabric designers with barn quilts, which I also love, so how could I say no? 😀 After I received my partner’s information, I… Continue reading In Progress – Bonnie & Camille Barn Quilt Swap

My daughter loves it already. 🙂 Kelli over at That Looks Like It Needs Stitches posted a picture of an Ender Dragon that her son drew up. My daughter… Continue reading In Progress – Minecraft Quilt – Top Almost Complete
I’m quilting along on my Summer Sampler 2016 quilt! This week, block number three was released and it’s called Snow Cone for obvious reasons. 🙂 This was the first time I’ve ever made a quilt block with curves and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. I used lots of pins and… Continue reading In Progress – Summer Sampler 2016 – Block 3
Yay! It’s block number 20 of 20 blocks needed to make the quilt top! This block turned out to be the most “complicated”. Complicated in quotes because it was still super easy, but it had smaller pieces to deal with than any of the other blocks. Still fun to make though! 🙂 I stole an… Continue reading In Progress – Minecraft Quilt – Block 20 – Slime
