Q-Squirrel Pt 2

Here we are at almost mid-July and the 

self-quarantining continues.

Since I left you after part 1, 

here is just a bit of 

what I have been up to....

I participated in a Virtual Trunk

that ended up being a FAB

way to introduce myself to 

new followers.

You can see it HERE!

I like to be prepared so here

was my set up that day with

pages of notes, phone stand,

and a rack of quilts behind me:)

I continued playing with my friend's

Twelve Days of Christmas

that you can read more about

HERE.

Here is a test block for a new 

paper piece and applique' quilt

coming soon to AQ Magazine:)

If you like bright tropical colors,

this one will be right up your alley!

I finished the top of the little 
signature quilt 
started HERE and started
the next little quilt the 
group decided on.

Then (more) baby gift preps started!
Seems as if you just keep finding 
fun things to give the new family.
A space theme had been decided on
and this little art piece of mine
was perfect with lots of family heritage.
Read about it HERE.
The project it was intended for
was dismantled and the piece
came back to where I believe
it was meant to be all along!
It is framed and now hangs
over his changing table.

Then onto making a unique little

onesie for our new little one:)

My husband designed this

and was excited to have me

make it come to life.

SO EXCITING!

Next post will have all the details and

pictures of our new sweetie!

Quiltmaker's Blog Tour

Hello Quiltmaker fans!  Today is day 3 of Quiltmaker's Blog tour to launch Volume 6 of the very popular 100 Blocks.  Welcome and let's talk about my block, Tropical Flags!

 

It is an honor every single time to be included among so many wonderful designers, some I call friend as well.  This time I worked out of my normal color pallette and kept with the paper piecing...it is just too much fun.

Tropical Flags Block #522 on page 28

If you go to town and make all the above blocks, you get a really nice size quilt (48 x 60) even before borders.  I also really like the secondary pinwheels.

Want a bit more bang for your buck?  Try breaking the block apart and alternating the quadrants with other blocks.  In this variation, I used half square triangles.

 

Put a bunch together for this variation.  With 12" blocks, you will have a 48" square wall hang in no time.

 

I have so many ideas once I get going on one of these designs because the possibilities are endless.  Have some fun with the design and send a picture when you finish:)
