Sewing and Searching

I have been doing a wee bit of sewing, but not as much as I should be doing.  I decided it was time to get my blocks for guild done. 

This block is called Twice as Nice.  Sorry not a great picture, of course when I went to take a pic it was cloudy and rainy.  The black on white was the guild fabric, I was supposed to add a cool, bright fabric. 
I had to look up what a cool bright color was.  Thank goodness for Google. 

I also got my bag lady block done.

Once that was done I contemplated....what to do? 

I decided it was time to do another one of Jeff's shirts. 

Three inch shoo fly blocks. 

I am still in search for a buttery yellow reproduction fabric for my saw toothed square block, so I keep accumulating, but not being very successful. I also wanted a couple of more neutral blocks. 

Since the color for the month of September is orange, I started looking for a few. 

More orange and yes--Chicken fabric.  I also needed some neutrals and the strip pack with 24 strips for $12 fit the bill. 

I love Lecien fabrics, especially the soft colors.  I saw this line called LaConner and I knew I needed to make a quilt out of the fabric.  

There was even a free pattern, which fit the bill, so all the fabric to make the quilt is here.

Finally I have class this Saturday for the Quiltworx quilt.  


I got all of my pieces done.  I think we are getting close to final construction.  Can't wait.  Only 3 more classes until the final reveal.

  2. Looks like progress :) Be careful with that strip set and measure before using, I bought a charm pack of that brand and found them to be 4 3/4" not 5"...a problem when the whole point to buying them was to use them as 5"!!

  5. Jeff's block looks fantastic as does that Quiltworx section. That is going to be gorgeous.

    I'm a great fan of Lecien fabrics too.

  6. Gosh, only 3 more classes - can't wait to see what it finally looks like. Lecien fabric is always lovely. You have chosen a very pretty bundle. Jeff's next t-shirt blocks looks great.

  7. Wow! Your blocks all look great. I love the border you used on Jeff's John Deere block. Someday, I hope to be able to match points half as well.
