    Blooming Fields – Month 2

    This block of the month is interesting. I have never done one quite like this before. The pattern is a little more difficult to decipher, but I think it will turn out neat – if I can avoid making mistakes. Related Images:

    Midnight Garden – Months 6, 7, & 8

    This is an older Fig Tree Quilts Block of the Month. I think it uses Harvest Garden. When we got to the full blocks that were wool applique – I said, “nope, not right now.” I then put it aside – for over a year. I am trying now to go through some of my old UFOs and at least get them to top stage and this was one of them. I will say the game changer in doing the applique blocks was because I bought a cutterpillar light box. That made it so much easier to trace the shapes appropriately. Now I am looking forward to doing more applique – at least fusible applique. Related Images:

    Shabby Pineapple Log Cabins – Month 1

    I made 5 of these blocks for this quilt. Fabrics include Kaffe Fasset – my first time actually using any of these types of fabrics. I think I am expanding a bit. This is my second set. My first set, I did the first set and did not starch and they “waved” at me because of all of the bias edges. I am using the Creative Grids Pinapple Trim Tool. It is actually pretty easy – once you get in the groove. This is my first pineapple log cabin quilt. There are 5 more months before putting it together. Related Images:
