Project Quilting 16.3: 3 Common Blocks

This is my project for the Project Quilting 16.3 Challenge: 3 Common Blocks. I love that this challenge provides a lot of choice for the participants. My chosen blocks are: 4 Patch, Square in a Square, Quarter Square Triangle {my new favorite}, and Hourglass. Well, that is actually 4 blocks. Decided to go with all solids on the quilt top for a modern look. This little table topper will fit nicely on a small end table in my living room. Please continue reading for more, and for comments.

SAHRR Round Robin: Round 3

Good evening everyone. Hope your day is going well. It is rain here, but warmer temperatures though. This is my Round 3 of the SAHRR hosted by Quilting Gail. Her prompt is stars, so I chose the Double {Twin} Friendship Star block. Special because of my twin sister who has passed 5 years ago. My stars are located at the top and bottom rows, and sewing blocks that small {3 1/2"} is not typical for me. Yes, struggled a bit, but it was definitely worth the effort. 'Added a 4 Patch block between each set of stars. Now to get the coping border cut and sewn around the quilt top. That will get done tomorrow. Please continue reading for more, and for comments.

SAHRR Round Robin: Round 2

This week's prompt is from Anja of Anja Quilts, and is Half Square Triangles {HSTs}. My choice is made from HSTs, and is called the Quarter Square Triangle. They are really fun to sew. They are added in the right and left sides of the quilt top, and Round 3 will be the top and lower rows. Please continue reading for more info, and for comments.

Project Quilting: 16.2: Ombré

Good morning friends. Beginning the day with my little quilt for Project Quilting 16.2: Ombré. This was a fun challenge, yet took me a while to decide on a design. The result is this little wall quilt, featuring a spool of green thread, which fades from a dark green to a pale green. Please continue reading for more information, and for comments.

SAHRR Round Robin: Round 1

The prompt for Round 1 is from Kathleen McMusing's blog, a quilt block that the title begins with the first letter of your first or last name. My choice for the "D" is the Donut block {"D" for Danice}. There do not seem to be a lot of quilt blocks that begin with the letter "D", at least not ones that could be sewn easily. I love donuts, and now am hungry, lol! I am trying to use all scrap fabrics for this project, and this dark rose-colored fabric works well. The Donut block is quite simple to make, and seems to fit this project well. This Round finishes at 3 1/2" wide, making my quilt thus far measure 18" square. This is so much fun! Have you been and looked at everyone's wonderful Center and Round 1 choices yet? Please continue reading for comments.

SAHRR Round Robin: center block

Here is my chosen center block for the SAHRR, hosted by Quilting Gail. This block is titled Lady of the Lake, and is one that I have been wanting to sew for a while now. It will finish at 11" square in the completed quilt. So many blocks, so many choices, right? It is always nice to use stash scrap fabrics, too. This is the 2nd Round Robin that I have participated in, and it is fun. Be sure to go look at the other creations in the party. There is a great variety of center blocks, all awesome.
