Baby Quilt Progress



The quilt top is done!



This block is the 



In the end I did not follow the layout shown in the book.


I opted for a more graphic, modern version 
and used the extra units I made in the corners of the borders.

So I am calling this quilt 
Starry Lanes 
because the setting creates an elongated diagonal star.

I am going to leave this on my design wall while I think
about how to quilt it
as I catch up on some blocks
for swaps and BOMs.

It is very windy here in the northeast and it is cold on my back
in my sewing room because of the large west facing windows.

So I may sit in the warm chair 
and do some cross stitching today.

Happy Stitching and Sewing!

Dust Off A Quilt Book ~ My Day!


Sunny Lanes Baby Quilt 


"Easy Four Patch Quilting" 
by Joanne Stauffer and Sandra Hatch





I have made this block by this name before for a block swap from


but never sewed it into a quilt.

I like the instructions in the book much better. 



Lots of strip and chain piecing.

I started it here

My kind of sewing!


I made one change from the pattern
I added tags to some of the four patch blocks  HERE


The 47" by 59" baby quilt calls for 12 of these 
Sunny Lanes Blocks.

I am sorry that I do not have a finished project to show you.



I am still working on this quilt.

I have been suffering from sinus related headaches this month.

This is not uncommon for me in late winter,
when the house has been closed up for months.
It slows me down even more than my normal snail sewing pace.

Silly me,  my love of books, blog hops and quilting
had me signing up for two blog hops in the same week
and I know how slow I sew.
