Stacks of Blocks!!

At the beginning of the year, I shared some saved bundles that I was cutting up for two class projects at the Quilty Friends Retreat.   Well, I am happy to say that they didn't just get set aside after class :)  I have been working on these bit by bit in between other projects and the other day finished the blocks for both quilts!!!

The first set of blocks is for the Flower Market class.  I used the blacks and pinks from   Olive's Flower Market Bundle by Lella Boutique .  I am just so excited with how these blocks came together.  I love the colors and think it is going to be the cutest quilt!!!  I can't wait to get it all sashed :)

The second set of blocks is for the Midnight Crossing class.   This is a design by Fig Tree Quilts and Co.  and it is a Halloween quilt, but I opted for Christmas, using Merry Stars Here bundle by Sweetwater.    And I totally upsized the blocks from the pattern so that this will finish at a queen size quilt.   I just love all of those happy stars . . . another one to get sewn into a quilt top fast!!!  


And speaking of sewing into a quilt top . . . I also have my stacks of Greatest Hits blocks from the 2020 Sew Sampler Box that need to be sewn into a quilt top as well.  I am not sure how I plan to sash this one yet, but as soon as I decide, it is going to be sewn up to.   


So ya, three stacks of blocks, all just waiting to be sewing up into quilt tops ;)   Oh, well, I guess I should be totally candid and say I have two others sets of blocks that are done and just waiting to be put into quilt tops, but those two other sets have been waiting for over a year.   So ya, we don't bring them up :)   Here's to not letting these 3 add to the "someday" pile :)

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting day, and who knows, maybe you can even break out some of your Someday projects and make a little dent in them :)

Pin It!
