Blocks Five And Six

 Blocks five and six are now complete.


I think I might have said it before, I really like these blocks in the smaller size, but they take so much time to complete. Time is needed so that points match up the way they should.  It has been a skill builder!

Still Playing Catch Up

 I'm still playing catch up.  Two more blocks done for my Blockheads 5 BOM.  Here are blocks one and two.


These are blocks three and four.


 In block three, on the left, I added some of the reproduction fabrics that have a cream background.  I've decided I won't use those again.  I feel they create too muddy of a design.  Not sure if I will redo that block or not.  Once I get things caught up, I may make it again.

But I really like block four.  That's the thing, always learning and relearning.

Gotta Love Those Finished Quilts

 Gotta love those finished quilts!  This quilt is a pattern from Villa Rosa Designs called "Serengeti"


 Back in the day, when "Cut Up & Quilt" was open, they had a monthly gathering to see all the new arrivals at the shop.  Plus they gave away a Villa Rosa pattern at each gathering.  All you had to do was make a top out of that pattern and bring it back the next month for a prize.  

This one has been a top for some time but I never finished it.  That happened this month.  Woohoo!  One more top out of my quilting room and off to live it's life.  This quilt has been donated.  Now to get a couple more of those tops on their way!

Another Finish

 Another finish!


It's hard to tell but the print fabric is a hockey design with solid blue blocks.  It was made using 99 five inch squares.  It takes about 1 yard of each fabric to make and measures 40.5 by 49.5.  Which is a nice size quilt for a child.  I will be donating this quilt.

I have another quilt kitted up that I'm working on as a "Leader and Ender".  There is a link with information on what a "Leader and Ender" is, just click on the highlighted part.  I Just love using up my stash!
