What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This week I finished TWO projects and both were from the Quilters Candy Membership. Last weekend I did an Instagram Takeover for the membership and I wanted to showcase a couple of projects. Currently, these patterns are only available through the membership. 

The first one is Nyalik by Alexa at The Wannabe Grandma. I loved this pattern from the first time I saw it and even collected fabrics to make it. My original plan was to make a bed-sized quilt. By making it small, though, I actually finished. Haha!

I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, but ...

While it takes a long time to build the blocks for a quilt made out of 1-1/2″ squares, it also takes a long time to assemble those blocks.

There are 360 blocks. The final layout will finish at 80″ x 72″ and contain 5760 pieces. One. Block. At. A. Time.

March of 2020 I started a mindless leader-ender using 1-1/2″ squares. I wasn’t sure where it was going. No one guessed where we were going.

On Sunday, March 21, 2021, I finished the 360th block. And have declared that that is enough.

It is quite a pile.

This is the last block. Such a place of honor.

And now to sew them together. Bits and pieces…kind of like this past year.
