365 Quilt Challenge

I started the New Year with 2 Block of the Day (!) programs.... what was I thinking?? I guess it was almost obvious that I wouldn't be able to keep up...

The Town and Country BOD, I have very quickly completely fell off the train... hopefully I will pick it up again one of these days, after buying the pattern and all the background fabric.... I have only made a handful of blocks.

I fared better with the 365 quilt chalenge and manage to keep it up more or less for almost the frst part of the year but after that I completely fell off the wagon and never managed/tried to catch up again. The program is running again from January so let's hope it works for me as a 2 years project!

Last week-end I decided to sew up the 3' blocks I had to add one more border to the medaillon.

Lots of blocks to catch up with for the next 3 borders and I am hoping to work through these in the New Year. And I also have 3 tiny 3' blocks and 18 bigger 6' blocks ready for the next round!

So in addition to the center piece and the 4 borders, I made 99 tiny 3' blocks and 22 bigger 6' blocks,

    Love your colours in this 365 Challenge. I too fell off the wagon. I am presently working on July's blocks. Since I have downloaded all the blocks as they were coming in, I don't have to re-join next year. Glad to see that you will continue on the journey too. Happy holidays. ;^)

    I started with the 365 circles this year. After a little while I mailed them to my friend in California...just in case she fell behind on her 365 circles that she would be able to fill in with a few of mine. :) It will all work out. Have a great holiday.

    I fell off the wagon too. I do hope to finish this one next year. I'm not as far as you are in though. I love how yours is coming along.

    I fell off the wagon on both too. I fell out of love with both to be honest. I've used my blue batiks in another quilt and the 365 blocks have gone in my orphan block bag. They'll get used eventually for something xx

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
