Piece and Quilt Sampler QAL - Month 9

 It's Month 9 of the  Piece and Quilt Sampler Quilt Along and can you believe it, this is our last set of blocks!!!  Thanks to Fat Quarter Shop for hosting this awesome quilt along from the Celebrate with Quilts book!! And here is the month 9 finishes, so fun :)   

Wow, I really was all smiles while making this last set of  Rainbow of Ombre goodness Blocks. (see plan here)  The first of the the last three blocks was a 9" Album Star Block.  And I just love the pop of pink with all of that bright red.  So fun :)   

And then, it was on to the 12: Building Blocks block.   It went together in no time at all.  I just love simply patchwork, especially when there are tiny Nine Patch blocks.  They are just so cute!!  And aren't all of those shades of pink so pretty together :)  

And finally, a little orange pops up for our 12" Union Square Block.   This is such a pretty star block, totally one I want to make an entire quilt of :)  I mean, how can you not love making all of those pretty points!!

So ya, that is all of the blocks in our Piece and Quilt Sampler  Next Month it is on to the Half Square Triangle Border.  I have made some with scraps along the way but I sure have a lot more to make.  Should be lots of Half Square Triangle Fun ;) 

And that's it for Month 9 - 9" Album Star, 12" Building Blocks, and 12" Union Square Blocks all in the  Piece and Quilt Sampler Quilt Along!!!!      

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

Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt!!!

 I am so excited to get to share today!!!  We have come to the end of the Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and I know I have said it before, but, I am just loving this Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt :)  

This quilt was such a joy to make!!!  I just had so much fun piecing the stars, trees, schoolhouse, and of course the letters :)   And working on it a little each week made it totally manageable because I look back now and realize, wow, that was a lot of blocks to piece for this quilt!  It finishes at 93" x 98" so it is a wonderful Queen Size quilt ;)  

For my Christmas Sampler, I used three different fabric lines from Sweetwater for Moda :)   There is Hometown Christmas Edition, Blizzard  and On Dasher ,(which also includes the adorable Christmas alphabet border :)  The background is POParazzi Grey Background and it has a fun pin dot that really adds some texture to the background. I just love how well the grey made all of the low volume letters just pop, as well as the all the prints for that matter ;)  Isn't it just so festive!!! 

And when it came time to quilt it, I decided on an all over Swirl :)  It is always a favorite and perfect for adding lots of yummy texture and snuggly goodness.   And you can totally see that cute alphabet border in this picture.   Isn't it just perfect for this quilt!! 

And speaking of the texture, I just love how it makes the alphabet just stand out all the more.  Don't they almost look like cross stitch letters :)  So cute!!   Ya, if you couldn't tell by now, I pretty much love, love, love this quilt!!  It will be my donation to the Festival of Trees next year to benefit Primary Children's Hospital as a thank you for my sweet nephew David :) 

And that is my Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt!!!!    Thanks again Fat Quarter Shop, for this amazing  Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along!!!  I have loved every minute of it and I love my quilt finish so much ;)  And yes, the quilt along has now come to a close, but you can still join in the Home Town Fun :)   Just grab the  Home Town Holiday Sampler Book and some Festive Christmas Fabrics or you can just grab a HTHS Quilt Kit and off you go!   And I found it really helpful to break this one up, so you can still follow along with the Quilt Along schedule here just change the dates for when you are going to start it ;)  

Now the only questions is . . . Will you make yours with a light background like the original, or a dark background like mine??  Its so cute either way, how will you decide???

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!
