My first block. I'm using Folktales by Lella Boutique
It needs a good press! |
Really pretty, Sus.....I love Leila’s fabric collections.
|
Thank you for the link. I just printed out the first block
|
Such a pretty block, Susie! I love your fabric choices. I'm working on my block and will hopefully have it done today.
|
That is beautiful SusieQ! I'm waiting on my fabric to come in so I'll have some catching up to do once it gets here. I can't wait to start!
|
NZ- I'm so happy you're joining us! I know your time is limited but glad you're here :) When my boys were little I had to make time for sewing but I really needed it.

I feel the same way, Susie, I definitely need sewing in my life! I've been sewing since I was about six and quilting since high school. It's the glue that holds my sanity together and always makes me feel happy.
Here's my first block. I'm hoping to cut out the second today. |
Love your block NZ! Love the glue analogy- so true
I'm proud to say I taught all 3 of my sons how to use my machine when they were little and have treasures they made for Mommy :) |

Here is my second block.
|
NZ, you blocks are beautiful! So pretty. I'm glad you decided to join in. I'm STILL waiting for my fabric. Frustrating. I'll have some catching up to do.
|
Great looking blocks Susie and NZ. I’m on the fence about doing this one as I have already started two other BOMs but I’m printing the patterns...just in case. I am all caught up with the A Quilting Life January and February blocks so I might just get sucked in...
|
Sharongn, I look forward to seeing your blocks and fabrics!
|
Oh that's lovely, NZ! I love Bev McCullough (the designer for this one). I'm in her FB group. I have mine partially done. Hope to finish today.
My Singing in the Rain quilt for Arden was Bev's design. jmoore- I'm in 2 others but keep them in separate bags so I don't get mixed up! ha |

My second block.
|
So pretty SusieQ!
i keep losing the thread too. I still don't know why it was moved here. I haven't heard back from the moderators about it. I did see that my fabric order was processed today. Yea! |
I love all your blocks!! I am looking to make a throw quilt for a friend from a bright half yard bundle I bought from Craftsy before they went out of business. This may be it. I am off to download the blocks.
|
My fabric came in today! Yippee!!!! Now, hopefully, I'll find the time to make my blocks this weekend. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

These are the first 3 blocks i made. I purchased the exact recommended fabric this time. I liked the colors.
|
Sharongn - Love your blocks - they look fantastic!! You have been busy!! You just got the fabric yet have all three blocks done - wow. I have downloaded the directions for my blocks but currently I am back in the mask making business for my niece who is an elementary school teacher.
|
Sharongn, your blocks are fabulous...so crisp and sharp. It will make a beautiful finished quilt.
SusieQ I love your fabric collection and it too, is going to make a lovely quilt. I’ve already got my hands full with two BOMs and a king size quilt for our bed but I love seeing the work on these projects. Great job everyone. |
Sharong, your blocks are gorgeous!
I'm looking for this month's. Nevermind- it comes out tomorrow (Tuesday) |
Thanks for everyones kind words.😊 i starched the living daylights out of the fabric this time. I usually starch but not as heavily as i did this time. I'm hoping it makes a difference for me. I love the colors and hope to love all the blocks so i wanted to do my best this time. Lol. There are a couple miss-alignments but not enough to bother me.

Here are my first three blocks.

Beautiful, dluvs!!! Love your palette.
I did the 4th one today. Need to take a pic. |
Dluvs, those are super nice! I love your colors.
|
|
As much as I dislike templates, this month has 2. They weren't bad though. As I said- only 2 .

That looks great Susie Q! Your colors are so intriguing. Rich and unexpected with the grey and rust color. Your quilt is going to be stunning.
|
Thanks,Sharongn- I'm using Folktale by Lella Boutique

SusieQOH-love your block and especially love your fabrics. I need to check into that line of fabrics. Any information on where I could find it?

Here is my 4th block. I really like this block pattern! I don't care much for templates either. Funny, i recently ordered rulers for triangle in a square but haven't received them yet. There are several patterns I have on my list that will have them so figured i should have the rulers. The curved look is what appeals to me.
|
Btw, i will probably re make the triangle on the left. I'm not happy with the gap, which i just noticed. Lol
|
Hi Jordan,
I did an initial search for the fabric and found these. Fat Quarter Shop Old South Fabric I also noticed several links to Etsy. |

Wonderful seeing all the new blocks being made! Sharongn, you caught up quickly! Lovely blocks and fabrics! Susie, your soft colors are going to make a beautiful quilt!
I am two weeks behind but hope to catch up soon. I wasn't thrilled to see templates as I don't have a way to print them off right now. Maybe I can adapt it to doing the same shape without templates. I had our Baby Madailein on February 25th. The homebirth went smoothly and I'm recovering well. Madailein was 8lbs 2oz and is perfect in every way! She's so small and cuddly! Everyday I fall in love with her more and more. Her three big sisters absolutely adore her! |
