Yay! I’m all caught up on my Summer Sampler 2016 quilt blocks! I finished up block #8 today. It’s called Deck of Cards. It used a paper template piecing technique that I hadn’t done before, so I’m still learning new things with this quilt! 🙂 Here’s my Deck of Cards block: Here are all eight… Continue reading In Progress – Summer Sampler 2016 – Block 8
Well, it’s about time I finished this one! I think this started out as the Spring 2015 Mystery Quilt for a Cause by Heather Spence Designs. I got the top done pretty quickly, but then I couldn’t figure out how I wanted to quilt it. I knew I wanted to use red thread, but that… Continue reading Finished!! – Double Cross Mystery Quilt
Curves, curves, and more curves!! I really haven’t gotten to where I like sewing curves, but they’re coming out pretty nice, so I can’t complain much. 🙂 This is block #7 for the Summer Sampler 2016 and it’s called Trail Crossing. I really like this one! Here are all seven blocks together:

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 decided I wanted to make one for Alison’s quilt too and I wanted to try my hand at making my own pattern. In order to get the… Continue reading In Progress – Minecraft Quilt – Pieced Backing
I’m quilting along on my Summer Sampler 2016 quilt! This week’s block is called X Spot and it’s my first block made with foundation paper piecing. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it might be. 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
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
