Summer Sampler: Blocks 6 & 7

I finished these a while ago, I just forgot to blog about them. Ooops...

Block 6: Mosaic
This block was super easy and fun to make. Just a bunch of HSTs. The end result is really pretty.

Block 7: Garden Path
This block was tricky. I used the alternative piecing method, which of course involved setting triangles. As I mentioned before, for whatever reason they never work for me... I really need to do my own math to figure out what I am doing wrong. It does look pretty though.

Swoon Block #2

This will probably get boring soon, but I am going to post these block by block because each one takes so long to make! I think for the next block(s) I am going to try making 2 at a time to see if I can do that faster. Although to be honest though it is trimming the HST units that takes me the longest.

Sew Red For Women: Block 3

I find the blocks that are set on point, or diamond in a square (or whatever you want to call it) very challenging. I did one for the Summer sampler (I still need to blog about it) and this one. I am not sure what it is, but these blocks never come out straight, independent of how much Best Press I use.... (The setting triangles in this one were stiff!)

Here it is:

Quilting Bee: June

This month we are making blocks for Becky. She is making a quilt for her son in red and turquoise using two of Aneela Hoey's lines: A Walk in the Woods and Little Apples. This is the block we made. Here is what I made:

I like how they turned out and I can't wait to see a complete quilt. This block was so nice and easy to make! I am kind of thinking of making a quilt from this block myself!

Sew Red For Women: Block 5

I am participating in an ongoing BOM club that I found through Burgundy Buttons: Sew Rew For Women. There is a block every month designed by a blogger, and Burgundy Buttons sell kits to make them. So for the first block, I made block #5.

Quilting Bee: April

I finished these blocks a while ago, but I got around to taking the pictures just now. I like the pinwheel. It is such a cute simple design but with so much character!

My Very First Swoon Block

I love love love how this turned out!!! Only 8 more for Swoon Quilt 1!
