ARE YOU MAKING THIS BLOCK?

 Do you remember the blocks I was making during the last Happy Scrappers meeting at the Attic Window Quilt Shop?  You can read about it here.  (scroll down)  Marjorie, a reader of this blog sent me this picture of her block.  She was interested in making it after she read about it on the blog and wrote me for further directions.  I asked her to send a picture if she made one.  Above is her beautiful block! I love the fabrics she used.  Thank you so much Marjorie!  I hope you continue to make more and send pictures of your progress.

I'm making slow progress.  I'm just using scraps but I think these blocks will make a nice quilt, especially after I add sashing.  Are you making any of these blocks?

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEETS AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

I had a crazy schedule today, but I wanted to stop by the Attic Window Quilt Shop to see if any of the Happy Scrappers had anything for Show-N-Tell.  Above, Buffie shows us her latest Tea Leaf quilt.

This is a closer look at her quilt.  I love how her inner border blended so nicely so that there is not a distinct line between the inner tea leaves and the outside border.  When you see mine, you will see what I mean as I added a solid blue fabric as my inner border.  Since I want to make another one, and have been collecting flower fabrics for it, I am now going to start looking for a fabric like Buffie used.

I also want to find a backing fabric like this.  Isn’t it lovely?

Remember that last month I asked for volunteers to donate these 12 ½” blocks for a charity.  The one above was made by Bev.  Thank you Bev for your kind donation.

And this one was made by Buffie. Thank you Buffie.  I love your colors.

It's still early and I'm looking forward to getting more blocks for this charity quilt.  There is no time limit.  I will make the quilt once I have enough blocks.  Don’t forget that the next Happy Scrapper’s meeting is this Saturday.

Remember the link I gave you yesterday for the scrappy block?  I saw scads of fabrics in the SALE section at the shop that would be perfect for those end pieces in that pattern .  Take a look when you come to the shop. 

ON ANOTHER NOTE:   I love this woven quilt that Moda Bake Shop has.  You can use the Jelly Rolls as suggested, but I also think this is a great pattern for your scraps.  Take a look.

Until next time,
♥
Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!
