What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 A few weeks back, a new sew along started to sew fussy cut mini thimbles with Happy Sew Lucky. I was hoping to keep the pace but failed miserably. I nearly made the first 2 blocks on time and then completely got lost...

Finally this week I've finished 4 little thimbles

 80%! The quilt along is long finish and I'm lagging behind but at least I'm still behind!! 

I made block #20 this last week, after weeks not turning my machine on. I was hoping to make more than one block but a migraine on Friday decided otherwise. So here it is block 20:

And with block 20, I can finish row 4! 5 more blocks and I'll have the top finished.

With the lack of sewing time lately I have fallen behind quite badly of the various quilt-along. 

Last month, I only made one block for Modern City Scape, block #18. I also started on block #19 but didn't finish it.

And block #19

I have attached all 3 blocks of Row #4 together. I had completed blocks #16 & 17 in May but never got around to post them here. I am still a few blocks behind but hopefully I will eventually catch up!

It’s week 1 of our sew/quilt along, and I have designed a small wall hanging that I’ve been wanting to make for some time. Have you seen those fun art pieces using broken jewelry? I have a lot of that, and designed this piece to use them. Don’t worry, if you don’t have any broken jewelry, I’ll give you more ideas when we get to that. The size is fairly small about 16 x 18. It has a front pocket that can be used in multiple ways. I’ll show you how to use ...

 Time for a post dedicated to this quilt-along as we have just completed block #15 this week

This week I've been trying to keep up/ catch up with the quilt along.

I finished two birthday blocks #13

and #14 so I am caught up for now. 

And #12 or so I thought but I assembled the pieces in the wrong order ..

and now with the correct arrangement...

And 2 blocks (March ones) for the Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

 Wow it is easy and fast to get behind with quilt-along that have weekly new blocks! I knew I had some catch up to do on the Birthday Blocks quilt-along but I hadn't realised I was already 5 blocks behind. Well I have finally caught up with all of them. I made February blocks in red and March blocks in purple to follow with the Rainbow Scraps Challenge.

Here are blocks #8 & 9 from February

and blocks # 10, 11 & 12 from March

And all 12 blocks together

 I was planning/hoping to catch up on blocks #6 & #7 before we went on holidays but I ended making all the pieces but not managing to assemble them all.

I managed to finish them both just after we came back from holidays and to sew them together.

I also got started on block #8 but it is not complete yet.  Still need to get going on block#9 which was released this week.

Wow il just caught up with the Modern City Scape blocks as the next one is coming out. 

I had finished block #4 last week and added it to the first 3

And I finished block #5 on Saturday 

But when I prepared to join block 5 to the first 4 blocks I noticed I hadn't assembled block 5 correctly, another one! The panel on the right should have been on the left....

And looking more closely, I noticed the same mistake in block 4 plus the bottom right courber had been sewn upside down....

So there has been ...

 Another block for the sew along made quite quickly. This is block 3.

I also assembled blocks 1 & 2. But before I could do that, I had to fix the first block. I had sewn the bottom part upside down....

Let’s learn how to make your temperature quilt blocks for January and learn how to paper piecing.

The video will walk you through the steps on putting your blocks together – with the paper piecing technique. You’ll need to gather your supplies, cutting your strips and sewing the blocks together. It’s not as hard as you think!

With the temperature quilt along you’ll be sewing up 4 blocks per month. Not that many and you should be able to keep up for the year.
