The Daily Block

365 Challenge ~ March 18

Mosaic

3" finished block

I was able to sew today's block.

Here is Pepper, my quilty helper while I am staying with My Girls.

Pepper and I are hoping for a little more sewing time 

after the Little Miss takes her nap.  

It is a lovely sunny spring day here,

a good day to go out and play.

The sewing machine will be waiting.

The 365 Shuffle

365 Block ~ Feb 26

Economy Block

3" block finished.

The size of the square cuts were in the 16ths.

I have always liked the Economy Block.

Here is yesterday's block ...

Squares Squared

and ....

2 catch-up blocks from January.

That and I designed a new summery quilt for someone special.

It was a productive day.

A Day in the Life of a Quilter

Some blocks are easy ...

365 Challenge ~ Feb 24th

...like this "Broken Sash" block.

Some blocks are ...

Crazy!!!!

365 Challenge ~ Feb 23rd

Like this "Capital T" block

3" Finished Blocks.

I hope never to make this second block again ...

at least not that small.

This was my "catch-up block" of the day since yesterday was taken over by 

Toady Time

After that last block I may decide I like applique better than piecing.

Daily Block + 1 Plan

365 Challenge ~ Feb 22

X-Quisite Block

3" Finished

plus

the catch-up block ...

Small Triangles ~ Jan 23

So far the Daily Block Plus 1 Plan is working well.

:)

365 Challenge ~ Daily Quilty Lessons

365 Challenge

Dutchman's Puzzle 

and

Broken Dishes

3" blocks finished.

I like making flying geese so the Dutchman's Puzzle block went together easily.

I have never made a Dutchman's Puzzle block before, though.

I think it was because it looked complicated to me.

Now I have learned it is not that hard at all.

Interestingly enough, it was the easy Broken Dishes block that I had to use my seam ripper on.

I discovered that if you sew the seam on the opposite sides when putting the two halves 

of the block together that you get a pinwheel block. 

I learn something new about quilting everyday ... :)

365 Challenge ~ February 20th

Sawtooth Star Variation

3" block finished

My 365 for the day.  

I did the block for today and one from the past.  

The current plan is that if I make the daily block and one of the ones I missed,

I will eventually catch up ... hope this works!

365 Challenge ~ February 19th

365 Challenge ~ February 19

Tea Leaf Block

3" Finished 

I like this block ... :)

Here are my blocks so far.

Many more to go.

I really am enjoying sewing these little blocks.

The Daily Block Revisted

365 Block ~ Feb 18th

Attic Window

3" block finished

I am still catching up the blocks I missed.

I realized today that every time I sew one or more that I missed 

instead of the day's block

that I miss another one.

So from now on I am sewing the daily block first 

and then I will see how many of the ones I missed I can do 

until I am actually caught up.

I think this makes sense. 

365 Challenge ~ Feb 2 Block ~ Block 33

365 Challenge ~ Feb 2nd ~ Antique Frame

3" Block Finished.

The HSTs in this block were trimmed to 1".

'nuff said ... ;)

365 Challenge ~ Block 31

365 Challenge ~ Block 31 ~ Jan 31st

Flock of Geese

3" Block Finished

Those small HSTs are trimmed to 1 and 1/4" 

I think that might be the smallest HSTs that I have ever sewn into a block.

I am pretty happy with how these little geese are flying.
