I've been making quilt blocks from a little book that came with Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine a month or so ago. There were 20 blocks to showcase the Amy Butler Hapi fabric range. I wasn't using these fabrics but some others that I'd bought, and consequently 2 of the blocks in the booklet weren't really suitable - 1 was identical to another but with a different colour way and the other used a couple of identical patterns in different colour formats and that didn't work with my fabrics. So I've made 18 of the 20 but that's a good start for a quilt top, don't you think? Here are the last of the blocks, finished this weekend.
I've decided that I will make a couple more blocks using these fabrics as actually turning them into a quilt seems a bit daunting! I mentioned before that I'm taking part in the Little Blog Quilt Bee and so will need to make some blocks that I haven't come across before. I thought I could practice each one using the fabrics I've been using for these blocks. First up is a Wonky Star block so I will hopefully have a go at that during the week. I'm not working this week because of half term so let's see how much sewing I can fit in around the kids....
I'll be linking up with Handmade Monday for my weekly fix of crafty inspiration!

Your lovely coloured fabrics again. They are just fab. Can't wait to see them put together.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely mix of colours and patterns and they all work so well together. Hope you have a good week.

Enjoy the holidays! The wonky star is a challenge, perhaps not technically but I don't like 'wonky'. I love smooth, straight and balanced ... like your beautiful examples here. Go girl!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your quilting blocks, great fabric choices.
