Liberated Houses!

Liberated Houses!

CIMG5223-001

Liberated piecing = liberated houses!  I took a “liberated houses” class at a local quilt shop but my blocks didn’t end up in a quilt!  Congrats! to Kristin for getting hers done.

I had a riot quilting this one!

 

 

 

 

Superior So Fine 50!

First, having a large supply of Superior Threads So Fine 50, helped with thread selection.  I matched the fabrics so the thread added quilting texture.

Warning:  picture overload!  Each house block has a different fill design and uses the 4 thread colors.  Quilting fun and liberating!

Design Wall Monday – a dilemma

Design Wall Monday – a dilemma

vintage flea market blocks

 

I have a dilemma.   I love this partially sewn quilt.  This is the second appearance for this vintage UFO on Design Wall Monday!   My dilemma is how to construct these pieces and parts into a quilt.  I am tempted to re-cut each block into a uniform shape and then sew it together.  Some of the seams have slight tears and this would solve that issue.  I like the randomness of the blocks, but I don’t want to find holes when I go to quilt it.

Any suggestions?  How much work would you put into “vintage” blocks from a flea market?

I know it’s Tuesday but check out other Design Wall Monday projects here!

Thanks for looking and would love your comments about my dilemma!  🙂 Linda

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 10

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 10

Block 10

 

Here’s my Block 10 for the BlockBase Sew Along!  Thanks to my quilting buddy, Candace, for printing off the paper piecing templates for me!  This was a fun block to make and I really like the interlocking illusion of the colors.  The outside color is bright blue but it doesn’t look that way on my computer!  Oh well, it could be my camera, too.

 

Check here to see other versions of Block 10.

Thanks!  🙂 Linda
