I'm just getting around to posting the blocks I worked on last week. I'm running out of pink scraps so I only made one Garlic Knot block for Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
Three more blocks for my red/cream postage stamp quilt.
I made another Eye Spy Disappearing Nine Patch quilt using the tutorial at Obsessively Stitching. I didn't remember to take a picture of the fourteen 9 patch blocks I made for the top, but they looked very much like every other nine patch block you've ever seen.
The quilt looks the same as the one I made earlier in February, but I used a different blue fabric for the cornerstones. I have one more to make so this series may be drawing to a close.
Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict is hosting the Sweet Sixteen Quilt Along featuring tutorials for different quilts using sixteen patch blocks. You can see all of the details by clicking the button on my side bar. In January, I made sixteen blue 16 patch blocks for the Sixteens and Pinwheels top as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Last week, I made fifteen pinwheel blocks for the top.
The blocks finish at eight inches so the 5 x 7 layout I planned would finish at 40 x 56. I considered adding two borders to make it larger, but instead I will be making more blocks to finish the quilt at 48 x 64 with the option of adding a border to make it larger.
Retired Guy picked the winner of the flannel fabric giveaway.
Terry, who blogs at Terry's Treasures, is the winner. Terry has a wonderful blog. I guarantee that if you stop by, you will be inspired. I will notify Terry by email.
Thanks to everyone who participated. The temperature this morning was minus 2 so I will be huddled by the wood burning stove ironing and cutting fabrics. Even the heat from the iron is appreciated these days.

Thank you so much! I love your Sixteens and Pinwheels. It was -13 here this morning with a wind chill of -26. How long until spring? LOL

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Terry - love the R/W/B sweet16 version - really pops. Oh, I wish winter would end!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having all kinds of fun! I don't think I've seen the garlic knot block before.
ReplyDeleteGarlic Knot is new to me and I love the way the pattern falls; thanks for that demo, Katie. The D9P also looks super. Have a lovely Spring on your side of the Big Muddy--if it ever Stops Snowing !~!
