Blocks and Strings

This time I have quilt related pictures to share:

"normal" cross block

wonky cross block

Our guild has started a Block of the Month program, and first up is a cross block.

These two are practice blocks.

Since I was giving the how-to demo to our guild on spiderweb blocks, I decided I better learn how to make one myself ;-)  Not bad for a first try!  This tutorial (which is based on this one) was indispensable, and I highly recommend it.

I love finding uses for my leftover Amy Butler fabric!

The three liberated coin strips are completely pieced and ready for sashing.  

I picked up some dark gray fabric at The Sewing Studio for the coin quilts' "background"...

...as well as a gorgeous purple color for a future string quilt.

It feels good to be back ..... sewing AND blogging!

Have an amazing day!!!
