What's Up Wednesday: Getting Old
You may think from the title that I am referring to my old age, but in fact it's these great granny squares that are getting old! I have made quite a few great granny squares since last Wednesday's post, but first I want to show you a few other things I am also working on.
Heart Block |
This heart block was made using Diary of a Quilter's tutorial. Amy's instructions are very easy to follow. However, I am ready for some blocks with not as much piecing and matching of seams ;-)
Ugly Fabric Challenge |
I should keep that in mind when selecting the modern block to make for our guild's ugly fabric challenge. This book is a great go-to book for 12" modern blocks. I already have a few choices in mind for this challenge. Any suggestions on how to use my "ugly" fabric? I don't think it's ugly so I'm thinking of making a block that will showcase this fabric.
Added to the library |
I've been browsing these two books on stitching. I highly recommend them both. I've compiled another list of projects I want to make. I am running out of journals!
Block Seven |
Block Eight |
I won't bore you with showing individual pictures of the latest seven, but they are up on Flickr if you are interested in seeing them all.
Block Nine |
I am sure I mentioned before that most of the prints in all these blocks are from Kate Spain's Serenade line. The white used is KONA white.
Block Eleven |
Occasionally, however, I have included prints from other lines just because I was running out of combinations with the Serenade for variety. The above block for example has Verna (also from Kate Spain) in the center.
Block Twelve |
I guess I ended up showing you most of the latest seven after all. I have to say I am ready to move on to a different project. You may or may not see more of these great granny square blocks around here. I do have three more blocks cut out and ready to go. I'm thinking I might as well finish those too. I like to have a few extra blocks in case some of them don't turn out or play well with the others ;-)
What's up with you this Wednesday? Hope you have a wonderful one.
