Pieceful Monday

October 15, 2018

In today’s Pieceful Monday post, I thought I’d show you a little review of the blocks of the month I’m working on, and a little peek at my current project.

Starting Small

Remember that little peek I gave you awhile ago of that tiny little paper pieced block? I can finally show you the front of the block, since it’s been given to my sister-in-law (she liked it).

Here’s the photo I posted, with a thread spool by the pattern so you can get the idea of the size.

And here is the front.

It was a little kit. All the fabrics were cut and ready, so  it was done pretty quickly. The mat was provided in the kit. I could have bought a frame, but I thought I’d let my brother make one.

Moda Blockheads 2

I wanted to see all of my Blockheads blocks together so thought I would share them with you. I’m happy with all of them except the one on the bottom right. That one will be redone; it’s a bit too dark.

I think we are about halfway through the blocks now. Two of the current blocks, 25 and 26, are missing from this group because I haven’t made them yet. The largest block (upper center) measures 24″. The four on the sides of that block measure 12″. The flower block is 6″ x 24″ and the little blocks finish at 6″. I’m using Kim Diehl and Jo Morton fabrics in my stash. This is going to be a big quilt!

Gypsy Wife

I have completed all of the large blocks for my Gypsy Wife quilt, Now I can work on the filler blocks and begin to complete the sections. I am really having fun with this project. Not only do I get to work on it with friends, but I get to dig into my scraps and see what I can come up with!

Fireburst Mystery Quilt

Here is my completed Fireburst Mystery quilt top. This mystery QAL was hosted by TishnWonderland. I have enjoyed participating in this with several of my quilty friends!

All of my fabrics for this quilt came from Bernie at Needle and Foot. The fabrics are actually brighter than in the photo. I had a difficult time getting the right background and lighting to show the true colors.

I did a little practicing for the quilting on my latest project. I really enjoyed this design, and I think it will work well for the project! This is all I can show you for now. The reveal of this project will be for the Art with Fabric Blog Hop. My day to post is November 8th. I hope you’ll stop by to see what I’ve made. Fingers crossed that it turns out, but I am having a blast working on it!

Today I’ll be working on facing my Autumn Drive quilt. Wednesday we are heading up north, so I want to take it along for a photo shoot, just for fun. I might be snapping photos in the snow!

What are you working on this week?

Linking up today with Beth at Cooking Up Quilts.
