Bloom-Topia: Release 4 from Carried Away Quilting


Welcome back! Today I'm sharing my latest blocks for the 2020 Bloom-Topia quilt along with Fat Quarter Shop.  The Release 4 blocks are so striking, aren't they? The blocks are named Sarah's Choice and Goose & Gosling


The Sarah's Choice (star) blocks were a little tricky, but I pinned, pressed and stitched carefully. Pinning is essential for me to keep my seams matched up!  I also use my walking foot when sewing together blocks with a lot of seam bulk. The walking foot makes it much easier to maneuver over bulky junctions!


My version of Bloom-Topia features ...

Bloom-Topia: Release 3 from Carried Away Quilting


I'm cruising right along with my blocks for the 2020 Bloom-Topia quilt along with Fat Quarter Shop.  The Release 3 blocks were super easy: two Duckling blocks (one with sashing and one without) and two Matchstick blocks. 


The pattern calls for fun, multicolored Matchstick blocks, but I made mine a bit more subdued. I sure hope my color and print placement all works out in the end. It looks pretty in my mind, but I won't know until all the blocks are completed and laid out on my living room floor. While it makes me a little nervous ...
