BlockBase Sew Along – Block 6
Here’s my Block 6 for the BlockBase Sew Along. A big thanks to Candace, my quilting buddy, for the paper piecing templates! Like blocks 1, 2 and 3, this block finishes 8 inches. I followed the color way featured in BlockBase, combining vintage and new fabrics.
Check out how others Completed Block 6 here.
Six blocks done! Six to go! I love the look of them and it will be fun to incorporate them into a quilt.
I can’t believe we’re almost to the end of 2012! Stay tuned for customer quilts and Christmas gifts posts!
Thanks for looking!! 🙂 Linda

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 5
Here’s my 5th block for the BlockBase Sew Along. Like Block 4, it finishes at 9 inches. The units are 3 1/2″ squares with 2″ squares in the corners (sew and flip method). The fabrics are from the vintage stash recovered from my sister’s house! I love it! This would be a great block to design a quilt around.
Here’s the link to check out how others completed their block.
My boss at Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop, hosted the most fabulous Christmas party! She drove us around Iowa for our own shop hop! And yes, I did increase my stash a little. I was most excited about the stores that had scrap bags for sale! I love getting those bags of remnants, I might need some medication for that sickness!
Thanks for looking. I’m behind on posting customer quilts and when I get a break from Christmas quilts, I’ll catch up!

Jordy’s Lil’ Twister
Jordy is one today! We celebrated his birthday last week and like his cousin, Anabel, he got a Lil’ Twister quilt! However, this is not a dolly quilt but a “color mat”. A fun way for him to learn his colors.
It’s hard to believe he’s one already! Seems like yesterday I was finishing his Tummy Time quilt the night he was born!
Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda
It’s little, but it’s another November finish! I’m linking with A Stitch in Time to celebrate!

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 4
My design wall is bare today, except for Block 4 of the BlockBase Sew Along.
For this block, I used 1 1/2″ strips and 2 1/2″ squares in the corners. This block finishes 9″ and my other blocks are 8″. The 3 x 3 grid element of this block made it harder to complete as an 8″ without paper piecing. It’s such a simple block, I decided let it be 9″. We’ll see what happens with the next block!
Once again, the fabrics are from my newly acquired vintage stash! It’s a little busy but I like it!
Check out Judy at Patchwork Times for other design wall Monday projects!
Thanks for looking! :)Linda
