Lets Sew Quilt Along Layout

Posted on September 7, 2019 | 18 comments

I have started to sew together the quilt blocks from the Lets Sew Quilt Along into a flimsy.

The deadline is September 23. I don’t think that I am going to make the deadline, but I am giving it a shot.

I’ve chosen to border the sewing machine block with black and white tiles.

You can see my inspiration from this post, where I share my sewing studio makeover (How can it be seven years ago already?).

So here is what I have accomplished so far:

Lets Sew Quilt Along Segment 3 Wrap Up

Posted on September 1, 2019 | 14 comments

Block 13 of Segment 3 of the Lets Sew Quilt Along QAL is called Who’s Got the Thimble? and is designed by April Adams of Janda Bend Quilts.

This was a fun and easy block to make! The shelves of colorful thimbles are a great addition to this quilt along!

And I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the resident feline made off with the missing thimble!

To wrap up Segment 3, participants are asked to show a photo of our four blocks together.

Next up, setting all thirteen blocks together into a flimsy!
