So busy around here that there hasn’t been much time or energy for sewing. But I have managed a little bit of blue stitching. Dark blue column done for the Brickyard quilt inspired by Julie of Me and My Quilts. Even though it’s a curvy line on the floor, it’s sewed straight! LOL
The dark blue chevron is complete for the zig-zag quilt from Diann at Little Penguin Quilts. I’m only planning to do one more row for this top, in orange, then lay out & see if I’m happy or need more rows. Yippee!
I actually made seven new blocks for the July-August Covered in Love block drive . This makes 12 for me & I still have more time next month to add to the pile. I continued my fun in making lots of different blocks. The top is Twinkle Lights from Pat Sloan’s current sew-along called Summer Soiree. The wonky star with the blue background is a tutorial from The Silly BooDilly. Sawtooth star with a blue string center. The bottom four are Whirlwind blocks I made from the same 3 fabrics as opposites. I used a free pdf of the Fabric Stash Block from the April/May 2011 issue of Quilt Magazine. I printed several of these patterns to use this month as I was looking for stars, but I literally can’t find them anywhere on the interwebs now. I thought I’d pinned them, but no, & Mr. Google isn’t helping me. So any basic Whirlwind block pattern you have will do the job.
Have a great week finishing up dark blue & looking forward to August’s color announcement.
You are making lots of star blocks for the CIL block drive. I got 2 finished yesterday. Maybe I should try for a few more. You are doing a better job than me on RSC blocks. I need to hit up the light blue again and fill in more of most of the colors already announced. Have a quilty week.
