OH, MY STARS! BLOCKS 17 & 18

Welcome back!

Yes, I know that I am a little late, but if you have been reading my blog you would know that I have had some computer issues and I am just now able to get back into my email and other accounts. My apologies for the delay.

Can you believe that we only have 8 more blocks to make? Wow, this year is flying by and I am still playing catchup from a few months ago. For this month we will have 2 blocks to make and for September, October and November, there will be 2 blocks each. Remember, some blocks are multiples and after they are all finished there should be the grand total of 48 blocks! As for December, this will not only be the month for catching up on blocks but I will also be posting the directions for sashing, borders and laying out the quilt top. Of course, you get to choose whatever you like best for the quilt top, after all it is your quilt also! Just please post pictures here so we can show them off!

BLOCK :  AIR CASTLE

https://www.patchworksquare.com/mf/air-castle-quilt-block.pdf. You will only need to make one block. Make sure that you scroll down to 6-inch block.

This is similar to the Folded Corners block and involves HST, three quarter square triangles and a square in a square and might be challenging for some. Just pay close attention to those triangles!

Of course, I will be posting mine soon.

You will need to make 3 of these blocks. Again, you will need to make HST, flying geese and quarter square triangles for this to work. Make sure to print the 6-inch pattern.

I will see you again in September! Have fun sewing and make sure to post pictures!

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
