BlockBase Sew Along – Block 5

Posted on by
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’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!

Check out other November finishes here!

Christmas quilting

Christmas quilting

 

It’s always fun to quilt other people’s Christmas quilts!

Marty used up her Christmas scraps and made 2 awesome Christmas quilts!

Christmas Pinwheels

Christmas Ribbons

Here’s a couple of table runners by Marilyn.  It pays to plan ahead and make your backing big enough to load both table runners on the same piece.

It’s hard to see the quilting from the front but it shows really well on the back!

 

Thanks for looking and have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

New Pantograph

New Pantograph

 

My new Freedom came with 2 pantographs and this baby quilt by Joanie was perfect to try Jessie’s Swirls Simplified.

I love the swirly design with the square element of the quilt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This pantograph will definitely be used again!

 

 

 

 

 

Combine Freedom with Bliss and you have very round circles!  As a freestyle, no computer quilter, I love that!!!

Thanks for looking!

BlockBase Sew Along – Block 4

Posted on by
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
