PetalliQuilter 2023 - Mid July Update

Rainbow Scrap Challenge - I had a couple of scrappy orange squares and butterflies to finish off when we got home and that was May blocks finished. I also made a different Modern Triangle Quilts block - not sure what I'll do with.

June was pink, and didn't do any blocks at all as we were travelling. Now July, it took me ages to find the colour for July. My usual go to had not been updated. Finally, by searching Instagram I found the colour - this month is red. Let's see how much I can get done before we leave on our next trip.

I am hoping to start two new projects this week. The first one is a Fat Quarter Shop Halloween project that I found others posting on Instagram - I love it, so I downloaded the free patterns while away and will make a start this week. The second project is a lap quilt for our very tall son in law to use on these cold winter mornings, while his 'girls' are snug and warm in bed. I drew up a pattern while away, but today I saw a better one, so I might  make that.

New Project...

...because I don't have enough projects on the go!!!!

Well, how can one pass something like this up?

This new project is from the Fatquartershop Blog, and looks so much fun, with no pressure!!

Snapshot Quilt-Along

Kits can be purchased, and each block also has a video tutorial for each block.

Blocks are released the 15th of each month and are free, with a suggestion of a donation to their St Jude Children's Hospital campaign.

So I think I might make a few of each block so I can make place mats, and wall-hangings as well.

Sounds like a plan!!

I was getting the washing from the machine and my eyes jumped to a Robert Kaufman kit that I had purchased form Missouri Star Quilt Company a few years ago. (My fabric stash is stored in our laundry) I'm thinking this will be perfect for the Snapshot project.

Block One - Let them eat cake!

Fatquartershop have videos of each step - watch Snapshot Block One video here!

 These are the fabrics I chose for Block One - should have realised that the background print was directional, but maybe I was thinking I was appliquéing :)

 Pieces all cut out.
