Block of the Month

One block, one table runner and one Guest Post

February 25, 2016July 29, 2020 Post a comment

Hi friends! How are you today?

This week I have been working on behind the scenes stuff- writing a pattern, shipping orders… the business stuff. And I did get to play with some of my scrap fabric while working on a new table runner using my Braid Template. I will post more about it soon!

I also had a chance to make one of the BOM blocks for February- here is my block #2 of Pat Sloan’s 2016 My Secret Garden:

(The block is actually pretty square- this is what happens when you can’t take a straight picture!)

If you look at her block, you will notice I did not follow her color plan exactly. I switched the dark blue and the light. I think it came out great- I like it! If you have not gotten your block #2 instructions, click here!

Today, I am guest blogging again over on the McCall’s Quilting magazine blog. I am chatting about using cuddle fabrics as my latest quilt in McCall’s Quick Quilts uses cuddle from Shannon Fabrics. And of course, there is a giveaway!

Like the quilt?
