Now, I'm a tad obsessed with blocks. I've even started designing them... *gasp*! Plus, this year, I decided I needed to perfect some techniques. Which is why I joined the Sister's Ten BOM at Gen X Quilters.
I also made quite a big, nontraditional block for Quilts for Boston. I love the color scheme they chose (blue, yellow, gray, white). I'm bringing it to the CJMQG meeting a week from now to hand in.
Speaking of the CJMQG, our mini quilt swap in analogous compliment color schemes is coming up... and I finished quilting tonight... GUYS. I can't wait to share the whole thing with you.
I used this tutorial over at Petit Design Co. for the quilting. I've been learning so much with my walking foot lately, it's been unreal. Seriously. Unreal.

These are fab! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks!
ReplyDeleteThe circles are really awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that you are learning,learning,learning. It's that teacher inside you lol
Love your block for Quilts for Boston! Such a great project and glad they are doing something we can all contribute to. Great circles too!
ReplyDeleteJess. Jess. Jess! That mini quilt. Omg. share already! I can't wait to see this. I love your Boston block! I have got to get on mine! Amazing.
ReplyDeletewow you have been busy. your quilt blocks are great - i think it's your color combo that makes them feel more modern and not so traditional. guess this means i need to invest in a walking foot? :) beauitful job - esp like your boston block!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! I am finishing my 1st baby circle quilt. I sat here thinking, how am I going to quilt this(I'm a fairly new quilter and can only use my walking foot thus far)...I will try to incorporate these circles in there somehow :)
ReplyDeleteLove the sister's ten blocks on grey! And the circle quilting is really great!
ReplyDeleteI can relate in some small way. I have been introduced to the charm of English Paper Piecing and am making a bag using a pattern. Yesterday in my LQS (where I take quilting and embroidery classes), I was looking at all the pre-cuts for EPP. The store owner commented that I needed a pattern before I could decide what I needed to buy! I nearly said, " I need what?" LOL
ReplyDeleteSince I started making quilts, I have hardly followed a pattern and certainly not for any quilt I have made (although I did follow Elizabeth Hartmann's tutorial for making blocks for my second quilt)!
