My helper for hanging the quilt on the clothes line

He was tossing clothes pins in the air to juggle them!

***Sewcialites Block #1 Harmony***

I am sewing the 9" finished blocks for the Sewcialites. There are 6" and 3" versions. so tiny! The Fat Quarter shop organized this super fun 36 week sew along for us, and I love it! 

Project Details at https://www.ilovetomakequilts.com/sewcialites-sew-along.html

This is a mock up done in my Morrison Park Fabric. 

Where there is WHITE in a block it is the background fabric. This is important to know for reading the patterns. See my tip below

The pattern directions have BACKGROUND fabric.. not what you may think of as the 'background' of the block

In this case the star is white on a blue background

BUT when cutting the BACKGROUND means the white fabric.  Hope this helps (I cut mine wrong the first time)

These are Kimberly's blocks in all 3 sizes, the 3" are so cute, are you making those?

🎇 Jelly Snowflake Block #3 - Free Sew Along!

You'll Make 4. if you have directional fabric,  so shift your fabric as it goes in 4 quadrants,

see the layout

I'm using this super cute  Jolly season fabric line https://shrsl.com/2cuf0

For Round #2 of our sew along I'm using Deer Christmas i love how this plaid looks. I think with a small sashing and center corner stone this will make a cool block by itself.

TIPS:

• I positioned the same pink prints in each spot, being very symmetrical this time!
• Fabric is Deer Christmas https://shrsl.com/2dewf 
• Baby Pink solid  https://shrsl.com/2evc6
