Delightful Designs

Good morning

As promised here is the bonus block for March:  

Today, we have a fun block to play with and a little challenging.  The block is 9 inches.  Remember, these are just blocks to challenge us and are not meant to be put into a quilt together, though if you do find one that would make a good quilt, go for it.  I will be doing mine scrappy.  The name of the block is Midnight Moths and can be found at:  http://www.quilterscache.com/M/MidnightMothsBlock.html.

Have fun!  I am off to the quilt show and will be back this evening!

Good Morning

Since there are 5 Sundays in March, we will have a challenge block but I will post that next Saturday.  Today, we have a fun block to play with and a little challenging.  The block is 7 inches.  Remember, these are just blocks to challenge us and are not meant to be put into a quilt together, though if you do find one that would make a good quilt, go for it.  I will be doing mine scrappy.  The name of the block is Another Pineapple Block and can be found here at:  http://www.quilterscache.com/A/AnotherPineappleBlock.html.

You have the rest of the month to post your March blocks.  Or if you are new to our group, you can play catch up by following the list of blocks already made.  You also have the option of passing on a block if you feel that it is too hard or just don’t want to do the block.  The blocks will be of different sizes and there may be some different techniques involved, such as paper piecing, applique, etc.  These are just for practice to hone our skills.

Here are the blocks starting with January to the present:

Jan:

Friendship Star

Friendship Scrap

Friendly Hand

Friendship Star Variation

Feb:

Scot’s Plaid

Scrapbagger

Z-Cross

Scrap Diddly

Bonus:  Solitaire

 

March:

Hole in the Barn Door

Another Pineapple Block

Hope this helps!  I will try and keep the list updated. 

Thanks for playing along.  See you next week with the Challenge Block.  We may go with paper piecing.  We shall see.

Chat later.

 

Good morning!

Since I live in California, the next block will be California and can be found here:  http://www.quilterscache.com/C/CaliforniaBlock.html.

It is a 12 inch block.  

Have fun!

Hi Everyone

I thought it might be helpful, as did Donna R, to list the blocks for the last 3 months so that we can keep better track of them.  I think this is a good idea as I am constantly misplacing my list or looking through the patterns trying to remember which one I did.  These can all be found at quilter’s cache.

Just a reminder that the blocks are meant as a challenge to hone our skills as quilters and if you want to pass on a block that is okay.  We just ask that you post a picture when done.  If you can do it within the month, even better but don’t worry if it isn’t done on time.  I, myself, due to illness and other things going on, am behind on my blocks!  

 Hope this helps!  I will try and keep the list updated.

Good Morning and Welcome Back!

The name of our second block is Golden Gate.  It is 9 inches and can be found here at: http://www.quilterscache.com/G/GoldenGateBlock.html.  It is similar to our first block, Hole in the Barn Door, but a little harder.  I will be doing mine in scrappy colors and think that it would make a great quilt on its own.  Remember to post pictures when finished and you have the whole month of March to finish, or if you like can do them on your own.  

Have fun!  

Top of the morning to you and welcome back!  

Are we ready for March?  Here is the first block and is fairly easy.  It is called Hole In The Barn Door and is 12 inches.  I will be doing mine in scrappy colors but you can choose our own fabrics, if you wish.  Remember, the block is for practice and to see how we can do the blocks and if we can do the harder blocks as they come along.  The block can be found here at:  http://www.quilterscache.com/H/HoleintheBarnDoorBlock.html.

Have fun and remember to post pictures of your beautiful creations!

Welcome Back

The next block is called Scrap Diddly and can be found here at:  http://www.quilterscache.com/S/ScrapDiddlyBlock.html.  This is a 10 inch block and a good way to use up scraps.

Also, we have a bonus block called Solitaire and can be found at:  http://www.quilterscache.com/S/SolitaireBlock.html.  This is a 12 inch block.  Have fun!  Please post pictures!

 

Welcome back!

The third block for February is ready and is called Z-Cross.  You can find it here at: http://www.quilterscache.com/Z/Z_CrossBlock_Page2.html.  This is a 10 inch block.  

I will be using large scraps of fabric or my 10 inch squares to make it, so you can bet it will be scrappy! 

Please remember to post pictures to the group of your creations.  

Will see you next Saturday with a little bit harder block for you!
