Friday has become my day to make this week's block for the

Made & Found QAL @ Alison Glass

Free Block Designs are emailed weekly after sign-up.

There will be 36 blocks from the Andover Fabrics Designers.

I played with the colors a little and decided to add a fourth fabric to the mix.

I have been using some white in each block for contrast. 

I just pair my squares, cut in half and chain sew ...

This is a free quilt along from the

 Andover Fabric Designers 

I am receiving these blocks in my email.

For this quilt I am using my Alison Glass fabrics and solids from my stash

and Thatched Blizzard for my background fabric.

Here are my first two blocks.

This is looking like a very warm colored quilt right now.

Since this Kona Solids bundle was my starting point for this quilt,

it looks like there will be some blues and cool lavenders, too,

in the future blocks ...

This was very much a spontaneous quilty happening.

I saw an announcement for this new free sew along on my IG feed 

during my morning coffee break and signed up,

 found some fabric, cut and sewed.

Usually I dither when I see a new sew along.

I tell myself I do not have time,

that I have too many projects in the works,

that I have too many UFOs in my closets.

Maybe I will think about fabric.

Then  I will dither over fabric.

Maybe start to pull out a few fabrics,

soon to be ...

Today I enjoyed these special Tilda Fabrics from my stash:

Windy Day ... have only charm pack and one fat quarter,

Gardenlife ... charm pack ( do I really not have more?),

Cotton Beach ... two small fat quarter bundles, charm pack and two half yards,

Maple Farm ... small fat quarter bundle and three one-yard  prints.

I have never cut into these fabrics before but today I snipped

a few small pieces of these treasures

to add some Maple Farm to my 2024 Temperature Quilt

This little tree combines this lovely pink print with one of the light blues.

It was a gray afternoon ...

is for you!

All Information and the First Two Blocks are available in the link above. 

Are you sewing along? 

My idea of a yummy oatmeal cookie has dried cranberries, 

white chocolate chips and walnuts in them, 

so I would add red to my cookie fabric.

What would you add?

 I have not decided if I will sew along.

I have sew many projects.

I may have to bake Oatmeal Cookies this weekend, though.

May you have a happy quilty and yummy cookie ...

To Sew or Not To Sew?

This part of my stash is, literally, "from the Vault"

in my fabric closets.

As a lover of fabric, I freely confess to having

my own carefully curated fabric collection.

while I decide if I will ever be equal to the task.

I am wondering if I should choose a simpler, more doable project for me.

I am also wondering if I should even think about taking on another project

 as I ...

I had intended this to be a series of blocks, but my interest has waned. 

Now, I am thinking of turning this orphan block into a fall pillow cover.

I love making my house cozy and warm with seasonal pillows and quilts.
