Block Review

How about a block review today? I thought I’d show you my progress on a few of my ongoing projects. The rest of the sewing I’m doing is secret sewing for now, so not much I can show you there yet.

Moda Blockheads 2

We are now on Block 13 of Moda Blockheads 2. I’m enjoying it so far, and the pace seems to be just right. Here are Blocks 11, 12 and 13, starting at top left and going counterclockwise.

Block 12, Jace’s Star, was a little challenging. Those little HSTs in the star points finish at 3/4 inches! The ripper and I had some deep, meaningful conversations over this block.  Block 13, the flower, was a very fun block to make. The blocks vary in size in this quilt along, with the largest (so far) being 24 inches. I can’t wait to see the final layout. Soon I will post a photo of all the blocks, when I find a place to lay them all out.

Gypsy Wife

Here’s where I was the last time I posted photos of my Gypsy Wife blocks.

This is the only block I’ve added to the group so far. At our last sew day, I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped.

I’m slowly making progress, though. Soon I’ll be able to start making filler blocks and then constructing the sections!

Fat Quarter Shop Quilt Along

Here’s a peek at some sewing I’m doing for an upcoming quilt along with the Fat Quarter Shop. I can’t show you the blocks, but I can  show you my progress. The fabrics I’m using are Harmony by Sweetwater and white Bella solids. Harmony is a very bright, cheerful line.

This is a quick, fun quilt. Keep an eye on my Instagram account and I’ll show you more progress as I go along.
