Something Other than Quilts

 Sometimes I need a break. And then I read or make a puzzle. Lately, I worked on a puzzle. In a way it was quilt related as it was titled Common Quilt Block Patterns. At a 1000 pieces it was fun and challenging to do. I was amazed how varied and striking these common blocks turned out. How many can you name?

Have a wonderful day!

It's Two Flimsies

An I Spy flimsy. It needs borders. Adapted from a kids quilt from allpeoplequilt.com

This flimsy was made using the tube quilt method which saved a lot of time and stitching.

Panel Finished and Two others are Done

 I finished the unicorn panel. It looks a little wonky in the photo, but laid flat, it is even all around measuring 35" by 42".

I'm quilting another charity quilt - one which I was given some cat fabric and asked to make a quilt out of it for St. Anne's.  Measures 36" square.

Lastly, is my leader and ender project.  The block was an hourglass.  I made the  4 1/2" blocks using 5 1/2" squares. Made half square triangle blocks out of them.  Cut them on the diagonal, paired them to make two hourglass blocks and sewed them together. I was going to give this to St. Anne's, however I let myself lay down the blocks whichever way that came to mind, and I realized I'd made a monstrance in the center. This is a vessel in which a Holy Eucharist is placed inside of for adoration.  Thus, I named it The Holy Hour with the surrounding blocks representing people praying. I'm going to keep this one for my collection.

What are you up to?  I'd surely like to know. Stop by and leave a comment, and I'll visit your log, too. I'm linking to Design Wall Monday  and Oh, Scrap.
