I just finished March’s block of the month for quilt guild. I did this one in red, so now I have green, orange, and red. I am thinking each block will be monochromatically themed, and will result in a rainbow quilt.
This is my blue scrap stack for April’s, which is a fan block:
I just love fabric.
I would love to make a nice big string quilt one of these years. I have started a few blocks, but I’m not sure what I want to do next or where I want to go with these.
This Orange pentagon crazy patch is for the block of the month for my guild this year. You just draw a random pentagon, and add and trim until you have a block the size you want.
I have figured out a formula for how long it will take me to finish this quilt. I will finish the blocks in November, since that’s the last time our guild meets. I expect it will be done by next August, which is the time of our annual guild show.
So, based on these blocks, can you guess my favorite color? It used to be blue. . .
I finished my diamond quilt! I love this fabric line.
I can tell I am totally restless to get this baby out, because I have almost finished this quilt. I never finish anything unless someone’s baby is due or the birthday/Christmas/Quilt Show is coming! This is it a couple of days ago, and once I finish sewing down the binding and the rain stops I’ll shoot the completed thing.
I love how versatile half-square triangles are for design.
I would never sew in stilettos. However, I would sew WITH a stiletto. I didn’t know that they moonlight as a sewing tool until Christmas time, when a friend from quilt guild made these adorable things for everyone in the guild:
They are really useful for holding down little pieces of fabric in spots where my fat fingers just dare not go.
See? I think this stiletto’s grandmother was a shish kabob stick. And look where she is now!
