QUILTY THINGS

Posted By on November 6, 2008

It’s that time again when I share SOME of the things that I have been working on…….

 

First – here are the MODA BLOCKS for month two….THE SELVAGE STAR BLOCK is purported to be an original new block – not on record as having been recorded before!

AND TA DA…..the QUILTERS CORNERS Block of the Month for November…..and to tell you the truth I was not SURE which color was medium and which was dark…..and believe it or not, I didn’t take a picture of the sample at Quilter’s Corner Quilt Shop!  So, mine may LOOK a little different from everyone elses!

And here are my December Online Yahoo Block Exchange blocks for the Decentralized Log Cabin for December – and this is my last month to be in this swap – December marks a year of making Log Cabin blocks……..how time flies!

I have sewn a few blocks for the Colonial Piecemaker’s Cancer Patients quilt project……and I have TRIED to make a cat block…..I made this up and I am thinking it SORT of looks like a big fat cat (my objective) … what do you think?

I wanted it to be a BIG FAT CAT with a little head – HM….did I overdo the big fat body part?  I will have to think about this a bit.  I know that I can do applique but I really wanted a FOLK ART PIECED CAT BLOCK.
OH yes, this is too funny – I TRIED to make a Christmas Tree block for the Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Block of the Month Exchange but it didn’t work for me…..my Christmas Tree fabric ended up with the trees sideways – and my total block isn’t the correct measurement….so I did something wrong!!!

Oh well, now I have two orphan blocks – one of a cat and one of a Christmas Tree Gone Wrong!  Oh well, it was fun trying.
Stay tuned – there is always something fun going on here!
