Happy Scrappy Prize Pattern Day!

Here is my Block 1 for my new scrappy quilt!

The pattern is 

Magnitudes @ Canuck Quilters Designs

I love this scrap friendly star pattern.

Joanne @ Canuck Quilter

was one of the sponsors of the

Beothuk Star Quilalong @ mmm!Quilts

and I was a lucky winner.

I sew for fun and not for prizes, but two new patterns to sew is fun, fun, fun.

So I went on a mini shopping spree and picked my two prize patterns

Canuck Quilter Pattern Shop on Etsy

I love the fact I can use small strip scraps in the center of the Magnitudes Star block

and scrap stash for the rest of the block pieces.

I will be working on this quilt while I am sewing other projects.

I love to pick up and sew a scrap block or two as I go along.

My other prize pattern pick was this gorgeous

26 Snowflake Complete Set

This is a foundation pieced pattern and very detailed.

I have seen these beautiful snowflake blocks online and

this pattern has been on my to-do list.

I am sew lucky to now have the pattern.

Since I am very much a seasonal sewist, 

I will not be working on these blocks until the snow flies.

Winter in New England can be long, though, and I have plenty of blue snow fabrics

and a beautiful white tone-on-tone snowflake fabrics for the snowflakes.

So I will have plenty of fabric and time this winter

to work on these blocks.

Thank you to 

Sandra @ mmm! Quilts

and

Joanne @ Canuck Quilter

 for making this a happy day

and a wonderful quiltalong!
