Sunny yellow and brown blocks for Rachel and the Love Circle. These are quilt-as-you-go log cabins. You can find the tutorial on Rachel's blog, Stitched in Color. They measure 14.5", unfinished. I normally don't use a lot of brown because it is my least favorite color. Luckily I had enough browns to use here thanks to a recent scrap bag/Instagram destash purchase.
April blocks for Stitch That Stash are called Low Volume Charm Plus blocks, requested by Deb. Low volume with a center plus sign in a fun fabric. This is going to make a great quilt. You can find the tutorial on Deb's blog, Life on the Selvage Edge.
Also, I've joined The Pillow Talk {Swap} on Flickr for round 10. I'm so excited about this. I've always admired all the great pillows that come out of that swap, and now I get to participate. Here's the mosaic I posted to guide my partner (click through for photo credits and additional details):
And here's a little mock up of what I plan on doing for my partner, using fabrics from Denyse Schmidt's Chicopee and some natural Essex linen:
This is four blocks (called Evan's Star) joined together with a thin border added (or possibly piping instead - if I can figure it out).
Lovely blocks! Did you like the quilt as you go? Have you ever made a quilt or anything with this method yourself? It interests me but I have yet to attempt it. Deb's block is so fun! :) And I like your pillow idea. Look forward to seeing it come to fruition.

ReplyDeleteWow, your mock up for the pillow is great. I can see how nice that will look in Chicopee!
