Fairy Panel Quilt Update

We went on a road trip down south to visit family and enjoyed a few weeks travelling regional town. I took some hand stitching with me but did very little. Now we are back home I'm looking forward to working on the Fairy Panel Quilt.

I'm using Moda Blockheads to surround the panel ans will put inner borders to get the sizing right. I love the way so many different blocks can be made from one block pattern.

Here are some variations of block 9.

 

I'm looking forward the heading downstairs to sew.

Moda Blockheads Update

For Moda Blockheads 6, I'm not making one big quilt - I will be making a few different sewing projects. I posted block 1 - Regatta a few weeks ago, and above is block 2 - Crossroads designed by Lynn Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters. These two and more are going in a photo wall-hanging for our stairwell. The second set of blocks are going around a fairy panel.

This panel is called Enchanted Fairy Panel. I used the colour panel on the selvedge to chose the colours for the blocks. 

I made my second block 1- Regatta by Vanessa Christenson, in a different way using some of these colours.

 

I don't think I will use this block as the light blue is too light, and I don't think it really goes with the panel - but we will see.

Block 2, Crossroads second block is better.

Putting the two blocks together one can see how block 1 really doesn't match.

So I made the other blocks darker to match the panel. I made another block 1 in an alternative design that I liked.

Block 3, Sunday Best designed by Ann Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs

Today I finished block 4, Cats Cradle by Kiley Ferons of Kiley’s Quilt Room. (Sorry I can't link as my firewall would not let me - Google it). A beautiful block and I will make another one in a different layout, but I had so much trouble with the rectangle blocks. Apparently there is a special ruler that would make it easier, so I'll have to try and find one. 

That's it for this week. I am going to try and finish one top next week and hopefully also quilt it.

Finished and Started.......

I finished the second last row of Between the Lines, row 2 - Roundabout. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Only one more row to do, then finishing it off. I'm in the process of making that last row this week. I'm starting to enjoy foundation piecing.

I started the 2025 Moda Blockheads 6 this week. Block 1 is designed by Vanessa Christenson and named Regatta. There are many different colour combinations and variations of the block, so it took some fiddling with different combinations to decide on the final block. This is my 6th Blockheads, BH1 is still in a box waiting to be sashed and finished off. 2,3,4, and 5 were made into quilts - and I think I finished most of them. I'll have to find photos of the finished quilts and post them.  

This year my first project for BH6 will be a collection of wall-hangings for the stairwell at home. I will include photos, so like a photo album. As this years blocks are all 9" I might make the second project as a large border around a fairy panel.

This is block one - the first column of the wall hanging will be reds.

I'm going to try a new browser to see if I can upload this blog on parties that I haven't been able to upload to the last month or so.
