Another week of making blocks!

I have some many WIPs and QALs at the moment as well as a few bees that I seem to endlessly making blocks, but you know what? I love it. I love the variety and I love seeing a few more blocks added to my piles regularly. And this week, on top of a Foret Noire, that has caused me quite some trouble....

was no exception with a range of blocks being made.

I finally finished my January (!) block for Fat Stash Bee, a lovely pineapple blocks which isn't paper-pieced. It wasn't difficult at all but somehow I dreaded it so I took forever to get started...

and also made the March block, a nice fast an easy one!

Also one little geese block, I still have quite a few to finish and my goal for March is to have all of those done and out of my house!

More of these tiny blocks for the 365 Quilt Challenge. I am not caught up yet but at least I am not falling further behind too much! 8 more to the pile this week

I also finally got back to the Town and Country Quilt Block a Day. For this one I am very very far behind but I am happy to have finished 6 more blocks! Plenty to catch up with still though...

My daughter is preparing me the #hkqal blocks for me to sew and she is a real slave driver so I pieced 5 blocks this week with more ready for me! Love how this is starting to take shape, even though the girls haven't guessed yet!

And finally Stepping Stones which is block #4 of the Modern HST Sampler run by Alyce.

A nice start with 23 blocks so far in March for the 350-blocks project.

    Wow, Celine, you really rock on all the blocks you have made. That cake looks delish. I am also doing the 365 challenge, three days behind. Have not done the center yet either, so I guess that is really 5 days. I want the center to pull things together, not sure what fabrics to use yet. I have not printed the pages as I go (saves time), but will have to go back and print 2/28-2/29.
    Love all you work.

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.
