A Quilting We Will Go…

in Quilting, Sew Down The Stash
Yesterday was a fun day – got to spend it working on some quilting projects…
First up:
My Cornish Quilters Charity block is the above star block. We made this one 12-1/2 inches instead of our normal size which is about 10-1/2 inches. I made two blocks and they will be going into a quilt for the mother of one of our members. She furnished the white and we each furnished some sort of blue fabric. They turned out really nice.
Second up:
From my Class The Craftsy Block of the Month with Amy Gibson
January – Block No. 1 - Asterisk Block
January – Block No. 2 – Wonky Pound Sign Block
Both of these blocks were a bit of a challenge for me…I am not used to just cutting fabric and adding fabric to it and then cutting again … but I love the way the blocks turned out.
This will be a scrappy quilt – but each of the fabrics I use will have some orange in them. The white fabric will be used throughout the quilt.

What fun blocks! I agree, it can be hard to make yourself cut into fabric that has already been sewn.

I am taking that same Craftsy block-of-the-month course but have decided to take it just to learn the blocks….not to make a whole quilt with them. All your blocks turned out really nice.
