QuiltMaker 100 Blocks Vol 4-

I have been waiting for the OK to show this one off!  The mag should be available soon.  I got mine in today's mail.

This is my interpretation of Sara Tuttle Khammash's "Fresh Cut"

Block #343 on pg 39

I was working on cutting scrappy RW&B kits for future TO DO's the day I decided to 'test' this block.  I loved it so much in scraps that I raided my stash and started this future keepsake quilt.

I sewed the 4 patches for the backgrounds up before a weekend at the lake.  I took my petals/blade with me and randomly laid sets out to applique.  The piano key border was cut using my GO and the 2 1/2 die.

I love this top so much and I hope you get a chance to make your own.  If this is not a pattern and excites you, I am sure the other 99 will.

be good  cw

Flying Geese using the Triangle Die

Large Triangle die make great flying geese!

Flying Geese make easy Borders!

Crumb Along is coming along-

I set the blocks 8 X 8 and added a 1 1/2" inner border of navy blue Swiss (mini polka dots)  Now to flip a coin to see if I do a piano key border or more crumbs.  I can't decided on 'words' so this one may not get any.

Good news is my 'crumb' pile is growing and I am adding to it almost daily.

One of my goals this years was to sort the stash and get my crumbs and strings under control-  yeah right!!

MC blocks are now a TOP!

now on to the borders!

I love Crumb blocks!

the assignment was to work on Heart blocks, my first heart looked too much like a "V".  Nice thing about a Crumb Block is that there is NO wrong way to make one.

I have 38 blocks made and several started.

Hopefully today I can get a few that actually like like a Heart- lol

This was our first stop on the Shop Hop.  Great place, very helpful Owners and amazing selections of fabrics and kits.

Def. on our list of places to visit in the area.  The demo on Hunters Star really makes me want to add another to my TO DO list.  I haven't purchased the rulers (yet) but can see the value in adding them to my collection (hopefully soon)

The Rabbits Lair, Rogers AR

Deb, Dawn and I had a blast on our Shop Hop last weekend.  Getting to spend the day with favorite friends and fabric is a good one!  One of our favorite shops is the Rabbit's Lair in Rogers AR. 

I first met the gals from this shop when they were in the middle of moving locations.  My friend Pam purchased a lot of items that weren't making the move to the new store.  I was able to get a ton of scraps that I am still working with.

I shop here just about every trip back to the lake.  The collection of wool is just amazing.  I have purchased a lot of my quilt books here too.
