A Flower Bouquet Block 10!

Yes! Block 10! That means we are half way through the Quilt A Long! This is Pat Sloan's QAL called A Flower Bouquet. Check out her blog for other QALs and past ones. They are all still available and they are free. 

Block 10 Picking Flowers.

There are two different layouts and I finally decided to do the second layout. Otherwise I would only have to do one of each blocks. This means the other block similar to this one I need to make one more of each of those blocks and sew them together. I also need to start adding the sashing and cornerstones. I'm excited about how this is coming out and can't wait to see this quilt all put together! Maybe it's because this is my first red and white quilt and I'm lovin this fabric!!!

Now off to work on her other QAL Out Of This World! It's a monthly QAL and this month there is 4 large blocks to do! I'm so excited about this QAL too and can't wait to see how this will all come together!

So until later!

Spinning My Wheels

That's what I feel like sometimes! The wheels are turning, but I'm not getting anywhere! Well another OMG was not finished... Last month I wanted to get my OH MY STARS quilted. I forgot I didn't have a backing ready for it! I did get the backing finished and so for this months OMG I want to get it quilted.

 Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal March Link-up

Here is the backing with the top folded on top, waiting to be basted. I did an improve strip along the back and it was so relaxing. No worry about having the right size, you just make it up as you go! I'm thinking a whole quilt would be fun to do! 

Here is my block #9 for Pat Sloan's QAL, A Flower Bouquet.

 I'm loving the fabric in this collection and can't wait to see this quilt all together! It was done in time to post a link to Pat's blog, but I was trying to get some other projects out of the way. If you are playing along with Pats QAL I strongly encourage you to link up every week. Last week I found out I won a box of Aurifil thread!!!! This is the third time I was lucky enough to win just by linking to someones post. I don't link to win, to me it's a way to get people to my blog and feel like part of the quilting community. But being a lover of Aurifil makes me do a happy dance when I do win! So I encourage y'all to link and show off your beautiful projects!

I hope you're having a wonderful March!

Monthly Color Challenge 2019

I have a special block for you this month!!! I'm playing along with Jen at Patterns by Jen as one of the bloggers for the Monthly Color Challenge. Although I'm making and posting all the blocks, this month is my assigned month! And I'm so excited to share my block! Head to Jen's blog to pick up directions for this months block.

And now here's my block!

March's color is Navy blue and my tip is measure twice! I was going to use a darker blue, but I cut the large block smaller and didn't have enough to re-cut. Thankfully I had another blue I was able to use. 

If you haven't seen my previous blocks go here for February and here for January.
