Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along - Week 3

  It is Week 3 of the Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and this weeks blocks are so cute and happy!!   This week we are making 2  Flicker Holiday Star Blocks and 3 Glisten Holiday Star Blocks!!! Didn't they just turn out so great :) 

For my Sampler I am using Sweetwater Christmas Prints from several lines paired with a POParazzi Grey Background.  I am trying to use grey touches from the Sweetwater Lines in the center of any blocks when I can, just so long as they won't blend into the background :)  I just love the added twinkle it gives the blocks.  This is sure fun piecing all of these tiny stars!!   

And that is it for Week 3 of of the Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along!!!   Do you want to come join in the Holiday Goodness as well?  Each week leading up to Christmas, we will be making these cute blocks from the Lori Holt's new  Home Town Holiday Sampler Book!   You can see the complete schedule here and check out all the details here and come quilt along ;)    

See ya next week with more Home Town Holiday Sampler goodness!!  We will be making more stars!

Piece and Quilt Sampler QAL - Month 6

 It's Month 6 of the  Piece and Quilt Sampler Quilt Along and I am just so excited to share my sixth set of blocks!!!  This is really starting to come together and I just can't wait to see it all done :)   Thanks to Fat Quarter Shop for hosting this awesome quilt along from the Celebrate with Quilts book!! And here is the month 6 finish!!

I am making my Piece and Quilt Sampler in a diagonal Rainbow of Ombre goodness. (see plan here)  I am just loving this layout and truly, I might have to start sewing some of the blocks together to get a better picture of it all :)  So this month we started with a 12" Rosebud block.  This was such a fun block to make, randomly enough, for some reason it reminds me of sloth toes, but ya, Rosebud is a much prettier name. 

And then, it was on to the 12" Broken Dishes Leaf block.   I had so much fun playing with all of the shades of purple in this one.   And the pop of red and blue in the corner is really just making it shine.  Isn't it so great how all of Vanessa's colors in her fabrics just blend into one another ;)  

And last, but not least, we made 4 of the 9" Scrap Basket Blocks.   And yes, that was a lot of Half Square Triangles!!!   These 4 blocks will be sewing into the layout shown below to make a giant HST block, so fun!!   And again, just love those baskets in purple and teal to just add variety ;)  

There is still time to join in the Piece and Quilt Fun!!!  This is such a fun QAL!  Oh, and once you are done your blocks, Be sure to share your Piece and Quilt Sampler progress on social media with #PieceAndQuiltSamplerQAL :)  There is so much Piece and Quilt inspiration in that hashtag :)

And that's it for Month 6 - 4 of the 9" Scrap Basket blocks, a 12" Broken Dishes block, and a 12" Rosebud block in the Piece and Quilt Sampler Quilt Along!!!!      

Thanks for popping in today ;)  Have a Happy Quilting Day!!

Vintage Sunburst QAL - Month 9

 It's Month 9 of the  Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and I am so super excited because this month, I finished piecing all of the Sunburst blocks!!!   !!    And here they are and I am almost done with my Vintage Sunburst Quilt  

This is the last of my 12" Paper Piecing Pads blocks using the cool tones of the Blossom Basics with the Warm Tones in the corners to make the secondary diamonds when the blocks are sewn together.     Next month my plan is to  sew the quilt top together !!!  I am so very excited to see this one all finished up!!!  

 I have started back up on the  leaders and enders from the paper piecing scraps .  Wow, there are a lot of these!!   I have gotten about 1/4 of the way through this pile.  Time to dig in :)  

And if you want to make your own Vintage Sunburst Quilt, you can find the free pattern for this Quilt Along  here ;)   It is such a great way to work on your paper piecing skills!!    Pop over the the Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along page to get all of the details and join me in some paper piecing fun :)
