It seems I've been making a few quilt blocks recently...
For the Modern Siggy Swap, I sewed up one hundred and one 4.5" squares and signed them with my name, city and state.
In return, I received these!
All made with modern fabrics and all different -- from all over the US, Canada and Australia. I can't wait to start playing with them!!
Two of my virtual quilting bees finished up last month but there is still lots of fun going on in Bee Obsessed! Sara requested orange and pink asterisks for July -- 9.5, 6.5 or 3.5 inch blocks. I got so caught up in them that I ended up making all three sizes. I think I enjoyed the two smaller sizes the most.
KC Modern Quilt Guild started a project last month making baby quilts for the NICU at St. Luke's of KC. The goal is to complete 15-20 quilts by mid-October.
We could sign up for blocks in any of four color schemes:
blue/red/green/yellow
blue/orange
pink/green
purple/lavender/brown/white
I chose to make 3 blocks each in pink/green.....
and purple/lavender/brown/white.....
It was fun to work with girly colors and patterns...I've been limited to colors and patterns geared to boys lately;) But don't you worry, sweet grandbabies, that's no complaint;))))
