SHOT COTTON PLUS

Yesterday I managed a few minutes in my sewing room and finished piecing the blocks for this quilt.
I'm stopping at 20 blocks which will give me a nice lap size quilt

I hope to be able to show you a finished quilt soon : )

After shoving the scraps aside cleaning up a bit, I found my 100 modern blocks book and made a couple more blocks.

Have yourself a lovely week end

CHOOSE YOUR OWN BLOCK - ALONG

With Christmas sewing nearly done, I took a bit of time to work on my 100 modern blocks. This chapter is all about triangles

We are closing in on the big day!  How are your projects coming??

BACK AT IT

Quite some time ago, I started working on the blocks from Tula Pink's book 100 Modern Blocks.
Like most projects, it got lost in the shuffle somewhere. Cindy has started a sort of quilt along where we choose which project we are going to purpose to work on. It's called "Choose your own block- along"

I thought of these blocks right away , especially after seeing she is doing the same ones.  Perhaps with each others help, we can get this quilt done  : )

So, this week I made a few more

Here they are all together.   I'm nearly a quarter of the way there

It's been fun reviving this project and I think the accountability will really help me keep at it
Is there a quilt you want to revive?  Why not join us. The more the merrier  : )

A FEW MORE MODERN BLOCKS

While shoveling out my sewing room, I found a couple of blocks for the 100 Modern blocks quilt I started way back when. It seemed like a good time to get re-acquainted with them so I made a few more

These are fun blocks to make so I don't know how I ever got sidetracked. Oh wait! Maybe it's all the new stuff??

How's your weather?  We had some rain. A lot in a very short time...........

Scary stuff!

If you haven't yet entered my give-away from the previous post, there's still a bit of time  : )
Hope you are staying dry

WEEKEND SEWING

This past few days has only allowed for a few hours to myself. I have some blocks that I have to make for March bees, but I only managed one.

This block is for the Humility Group of do.good stitches

It's a big one at 15" finished

The other day, I picked up this lovely bundle so I could proceed with my 100 Modern blocks. You know, because I didn't have enough..........

block 16

and 17

I'm hoping for a few days to sew this week but that may be wishful thinking           : )

100 MODERN BLOCKS --AGAIN

At long last, I got re-aquainted with my 100 Modern Quilt blocks by Tula Pink. If I just did two blocks a week I could have this thing done this year!  I guess that's a goal I will keep in mind.

block 8

block 9

Some finished quilts are starting to pop up on-line and they are gorgeous!

I finished my hat too.

Not a great picture--but it's done!

Have a great day  : )

SEPTEMBER BLOCKS

This month I sort of procrastinated doing my blocks but I squeaked them in under the wire. Perhaps the wedding quilt took priority   : )
This is the only one I snapped a picture of before mailing.  This goes to Janet in the Simply Solids bee

Last week we got in some Tula Pink fabrics. I bought some fat quarters because I thought they would work well with the fabrics I am using to make the blocks from her book.

Block 2

I can't believe I sewed these little bits together. I usually toss pieces this small!

So far so good. Only 96 to go !
