Week 11

These blocks were very fun to do.  I wanted to change it up and not make a traditional star block.  What do you think of this pattern?  I have all my blocks labeled in case anyone wants to know where I go the patterns.  How is your quilt coming along?

Week 10

I really like basket blocks.  This one was very fun to do.  I plan to add additional basket blocks to my quilt.  There are so many wonderful patterns to choose from.  I have been using a variety of books and patterns for my challenge block.  Where are you getting your inspiration?

Week 9

Pinwheels are just fun and happy.  I learned a bit about fabric selection this week.  I used fabrics that were too close to each other that my blocks don't pop.  I love both of the blocks, but you can see the contrast.  Lesson learned!!!  I still like both of these blocks and will probably make another set so that you can really see the pattern.

Week 8

I have been busy during Spring Break.  I have been able to get caught up on my blocks.  I am enjoying doing the Sampler Shuffle.  The instructions are great and they go together so well.  Churn dash blocks are fun to do.  I wanted to change mine up a bit and added the pinwheel block to the center.  What do you think?

Week 7

I LOVE these blocks.  They were fun to do and turned out great.  How are your blocks coming along? Which ones are your favorites?

Week #9

This week the Moda Sampler Block #9 was Pinwheels. I made mine from the leftovers from another block. Maybe you recognize some of the fabrics from the 3 Way Challenge. It's aways good to save those extra parts that get cut off and are usually thrown away. Bonus! And this block was quickly made!

And, this week I chose to make another Schoolhouse block from the Marti Michelle templates. It is a different look that the last one that I did. This one is more traditional but it had to be hand stitched in a few places to sew the piece down. I love it in Civil War Red and Cream.

Week #8

This week I chose to do the Farmer's Wife Block #2 Autumn Tints, as my challenge 4 Patch Variation, in navy and gold and white. I rather like the looks of it. It was simple to make and I love the checkerboard that it creates. I can see a whole quilt made from this block.

For the Moda Sampler Block #8, I chose Red, Green and Tan. It also makes a grean checkerboard design. I love the extra square on point design in the center of the block. It also would make a fantastic quilt, made just from these blocks.

I'm loving the Moda Sampler Blocks! There are rather easy and well designed. I am so glad that we decided to follow along with their Quilt Along.
