Sew Let’s Quilt Along Segment 2 Wrap Up

Posted on July 6, 2019 | 7 comments

 Block 9 of  Segment 2 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is finished.

This fun block includes appliqued lettering.  I am going to show the back so that you can see that the letters are machine stitched…it is difficult to see from the front.

I changed the lettering from the original design.  The cute block design is called “In Stitches” designed by Kathleen McCormick.

To wrap up Segment 2, participants are asked to show a photo of our four blocks together.

“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

July OMG Goal 2019

Posted on July 2, 2019 | 15 comments

I have never made a Disappearing Nine Patch (D9P) quilt.  Don’t ask me why this has been on my bucket list; it just has.

So when I saw that Julie Cefalu was hosting a D9P quilt along, I decided that now was the time to make one.

Julie’s instructions, diagrams, tips and even a size chart (for 5″ charm squares) is making an easy project just that much easier.  I really appreciate her efforts!

I have fabric that I want to use up (and thread, too), so I am making blocks with choices that I would definitely not normally choose.  That’s okay…someone somewhere will like it, and I am learning about value and design.

I have sewn 20 nine patch blocks.

I have even ‘spun’ the intersecting seams!

My goal for July is to cut these blocks up and sew them back together into a flimsy.

Thank you, Julie, for the diversion and the fun!
