Two new blocks!



This makes 12 now! A simple Nine Patch, that I hand pieced! This is new to me, pretty much, but am happy with the result!

The other is Bachelor's Puzzle. Didn't like how they did this one in the book, then someone posted a 3D version, & I loved it! So here is my 3D version!

10 Blocks, so far!

Seems I am already losing count of the numbers! I have 10 pics & two more ready to take pics of, so I already have my first dozen, yeah! There are 140 blocks in the book, but a few I don't care for, & others I might add, so, who knows what we all end up with! Fun project anyway, & why not share it on my blog! Hope you all enjoy seeing them here, as I progress in the quilting journey...





Four more blocks to post, then I have will have the first 9 here. Start at the bottom of the previous post & work your way up, if you want to see them in order. This finish as 6.5in blocks, & 6in once in a quilt. Nice size, & I am having fun doing them, & learning some new quilting techniques along the way!





Started a new, sort of, group project last month, so was thinking, I should post it on my blog! It's from the book "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler" by Jennifer Chiaverini, & I am doing with a group on the Connecting Threads forum. I have 11 blocks done so far, with pics of 9, so far, so here goes!

My own tesselating design, sort of, lol!


Had in my mind to try the card trick block as a tesselation, so here is what I ended up with, in a little quilt version. Didn't quite tesselate as I had thought it would, but I still like it!

Hand Applique by Machine!


Tried a new to me method & here is the block I did! The method is from the book by the same name, by Beth Ferrier, & the block used is from a pattern I bought online at Connecting Threads (shown in the pic also)! I like this technique & love how my block turned out! What do you think???
