Catch-up Week

Hi everyone! As you can see, Jennifer and I are running a bit behind this week. We've decided to cut our losses and declare this a "catch up" week...for us and, if you're quilting along with us, for you.

This means no giveaway this week but that doesn't have to keep us from chatting. I'd love to know: what projects are you working on these days? Link to pictures or blog posts if you have them.

I'm finishing up the last few Mod projects and cutting fabric for two new quilts and making raw edge applique throw pillows.

And if you haven't been to the flickr pool in a while, check it out!

There's a beautiful finished quilt using round 1 blocks.

And lots of new blocks: Corner Star, Eight Hands Around, Amish Diamond, The Dandy, Quatrefoil and a grouping of four blocks in a color scheme that is, in my opinion, quite striking!

We'll be back on Monday with our next block tutorial. Stay tuned...

Table Runner

I wanted to see what would happen when I put two or more quatrefoil blocks together...but I didn't have enough time to make an entire quilt. So, today's project is a simple table runner. While I'd still like to use this block in a quilt, I like the simple pattern made by the three flowers together.

Quatrefoil

Good morning everyone! It's so very early, isn't it? I don't mean to complain about daylight savings time but it's hard to be cheerful about it when I'm so tired.

But, something that did make me happy despite the tiredness, was seeing John's post about our little blog. I'm definitely a Quilt Dad fan, aren't you?

So, welcome to everyone who's here because of his recommendation. You've picked a good day because this is the block we're making this week:



This is definitely one of my favorite blocks. I'm not actually into flowers but for some reason, the pointy "petals" really appeal to me.
