At the moment there are so many wonderful quilt alongs going on.
Economy QA
I was so tempted by Rita RedPepper to make these wonderful Economy blocks which finish at 5.5"; tutorial hereAmandajean Crazymom also stepped in and made a bigger block which finishes at 8.625", tute here.
And I also heard Katy imagingermonkey stepped in to make an even bigger block which finishes at 12", tute here.
I also found more size options at 'athousandneedles' if you'd like to start with a 2.5" or 5" center.
I'm tempted to step in with Amandajean, but I don't have the time (so many WiPs) and I tried one block
(used a purple non-cotton something = wrong)
At Craftbuds there's one going on: if you make something before February 14 you could win great prizes. The block is from the book 'Modern Bee, 13 quilts to make with friends' by Lindsay Conner
A tutorial is here and this block is really versatile. Take a look at what others made of it!
This looks like a very fast and easy quilt, which is what I love.

For me this would be a bit of a challenge (sewing curves) but not impossible. I love this block!
Tutorial here.

In the meantime I know exactly what to choose: my WiPs are killing me (not really).
I've got 2 waiting to be basted & quilted, one I will make of the Craftbuds pattern in grey and pink.
Here's what I'm working on at the moment (tutorial here) :

Have a great time sewing or otherwise!
So many exciting things to do, I have to put blinkers on at times so I don't get distracted lol
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to stick to my WIP list, too. I am easily distracted but then funnily enough get overwhelmed when I have too many things on the go at the same time. A little focus goes a long way, for me.
ReplyDeletelots to interest here today, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh... Thanks for all the links, I've not seen the olive one before and it looks very appealing.
