Then it was on to making some HST blocks.  And I just love how these blocks combine with the Star Blocks to make the Wonderland Blocks.  Such a creative pattern!!!

Jolly Tree Farm Mystery QAL - Week 4

 It's Week 4 of the Jolly Tree Farm Mystery Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop.  All the details for this super fun mystery QAL can be found right here ;)    And here is Week 4 Release - Tree-Mendous Holiday and you can find the free pattern here.  And this tree is big enugh to be at Rockefeller Center!!  

This Mystery Quilt features Sherri and Chelsi's new Christmas line Pontsettia and Pear and there are still a few kits available here.  I am using a Cozy Wonderland layer cake by Fancy That Design House.   This weeks block had more of those red stars, I am getting so good at piecing those little guys!!     I had a lot of fun picking out random fabrics for the tree. And it went together in a snap.      Kimberly has another fantastic You Tube turorial walking you through each step of making this block.  

And there were not bonus HST's this week.  But that's okay, because I found something else fun to do.   I just felt the original tree was a little boxy, so I added some super tiny stitch and flip corners along the edges.   I love the added curves it gives ;)  

And it's not much of a mystery now that you have seen all 4 blocks.  But if you love it, you can still join in and make your own!!!   All we have left is to put the tree blocks together, so fun!! See ya next week with the quilt top finish ;)

This Mystery Quilt features Sherri and Chelsi's new Christmas line Pontsettia and Pear and there are still a few kits available here.  I am using a Cozy Wonderland layer cake by Fancy That Design House.   This weeks block was a little more piecing than last week.  I am getting really good at whipping up those little stars :)  And I had a lot of fun picking out random fabrics for the tree.  I love the pop of the low volumes.    Kimberly has another fantastic You Tube turorial walking you through each step of making this block.

Haven Charity Quilt Along - Part 1

The Haven Charity Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop has officially started!!    This is the  13th annual Charity Quilt Along benefitting Make a Wish.    The Haven Quilt featuires Lella Botique's new True Love fabric line and there are kits available here.  I am using the colors of the kit as an inspiration and sewing my blocks with Grunge Basics   This first release consists of two sets of blocks and you can find the Pattern for them Here :)   (And yes, the pattern is free, but it is always good to CDonate Here for this Charity QAL)

The first set of blocks to share is the Haven Star Blocks!!  Aren't these so cool in the way they changed the colors on the diagonal.  It really plays into the overall design of the quilt.   And these were so fun to make!!  Just four of these, but they are also, much larger than you would guess, 12" finished,  which is always fun to do some large piecing!! 

And next are the Hideaway Blocks!!    And yes, these are basically 12" finshed Half Square Triangle blocks.  Again, they play in to the quilt design super cool!!  But I do ust love making some large easy piecing, it goes so quickly ;)  

So are you going to do some Charity Quilting Along with us!! You have two weeks to get this finished and then the next release is July 23rd!!   So fun :)  

Jolly Tree Farm Mystery QAL - Week 2

 It's Week 2 of the Jolly Tree Farm Mystery Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop.  All the details for this super fun mystery QAL can be found right here ;)    And here is Week 2 Release - Rejoice Fir-Ever and you can find the free pattern here.   This week it's just a single tree with a beauituful star!!  

This Mystery Quilt features Sherri and Chelsi's new Christmas line Pontsettia and Pear and there are kits available here but I am using a Cozy Wonderland layer cake by Fancy That Design House.   This week the block went together so fast.   Just some fun stitch and flip and before you knew it, you were done.    And Kimberly has another fantastic You Tube turorial walking you through each step of making this block.  

And since I started with bonus HST last week, I figured I would continue that on.  But there are just 6 little bonus HST this week.  I decided not to worry about the ones in the red star as they would be so super tiny.    But 6 more to the pile is super fun.  

So are you going to do some Christmas Sewing in July along with us!! It's not to late to get caught up on this fun QAL ;)     Can't wait to see what tree's we get next week :)
