Working on a Lap Quilt

Last week I worked on a lap quilt using Moda Blockheads 5 patterns. Some of the blocks were made earlier in the year, and I've already used some for a table runner. I'm making a 9 block lap quilt for a friend.Deciding on the layout with what I had left meant that I needed 3-4 more blocks.

Using a different, but similar pattern to the top left on the board I reversed the colours to add a block to the bottom right (see top picture). I liked that look so repeated the idea for the bottom centre block. I enjoy making flying geese this way.

 

 

 

 

Last block to make (I think) will be for the top right, using the bright dark blue in the middle block, and the matching on the bottom. Will make it this week - or next.

Between the Lines

A few days late posting this week - having fun with family visiting for a few days. 

Last week I finished the next row of the Bernina Sugaridoo sew along - Slanty Strips. I did unpick the first block to match the strips, and tried my best to match the others but it didn't always work, close enough though. That's the last 5 rows stitched together now.

I also started getting the fabric needed for Bonnie Hunters 2024 mystery quilt - Old Town Mystery, more on that next week.

Hello November

Hello November, the last month of spring and boy its going to be another hot summer. I'm working on the Bernina Sugaridoo sew along. This row is called Slanty Strips, and it is a lot of sewing and matching. Above is the first block and I didn't match the 'strawberry' strips very well, so I think I will unpick and try again. I matched the black strips ok and forgot about the others.

I did manage to hand sew one more block of the Focus Cutting sew along. This is block 35 - R is for red. My backing papers are recycled travel brochures - hence the odd colours showing through.

Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt colours came out yesterday, so I will be thinking about the colours I will be using. I do try to stay away from purple pink and teal - but they are so pretty together.
