67 days since I started

50 Quilt Blocks in 67 days!  I'm a little behind.  Since the challenge was 100 Quilt Blocks, 100 days!  I may not make it.  When I sew each block, it is just that.  But when they're all laid out, then I get really excited.  Each block measure 6.5" X 6.5".  Not big!!  I will have to make extra and/or decide how I want to put them together.

Still sewing on my quilt

 



Still sewing quilt blocks!  I'm up to 35.  It's a slow process and some of my blocks are a little wonky?!?  The next section of blocks is triangles.  So that part will go slow too.  I keep plugging away!  Last weekend bought myself some solid blues, washed and ironed them and that helps break up the oh' so many different patterns. 

It'll be fun to see when all the different shapes of blocks come together and I have a feeling there will be a few blocks that are my own design.

Latest projects

 Well, I'm working on several things.  I went thru my stash before leaving Arizona and brought with me a bunch of blue fabric.  I want to make an all blue quilt.  Found a book called Tula Pink's City Sampler 100 Modern quilt Blocks.  Not sure what I was thinking. LOL. So far I've made 25 block.  They measure 6.5".  It's gonna take a lot of blocks.


Had to take a little break from making quilt blocks.  So I started a pattern by Ann Wood , called Dastardley Owl.  Went out and thrifted some fabrics and had at it.




I'm having fun with this pattern.  Made a few adjustments.  Added a belly gusset and more fabric around the face.  Last thing to do are the feet.  I will post another pic, when he's all finished.
