WIPping Along!

Giving away three 1/2 yard pieces of hand-dyed fabric


I finished FMQ the last four blocks on Quokka Quilts QAYGFMQQAL, YAHOO!
Except for the Corgi (in honor of my dog Humphrey), all of the other FMQ designs are from Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Project.


I also finished FMQ the border on my Storybook Quilt! I'm hoping to have that done in time for the Spring 2012 Quilt Bloggers Festival.


Not like I don't have enough projects started, I decided I really want to create 3 blocks for the Modern Quilt Guild's QuiltCon block challenge.  Part of the challenge is to use a specific set of colors.
Fat Quarters from Che' FAB - a division of Cherrywood Fabrics.

So this is my first block, I'm calling it Rose Window.
Rose Window, a variation on my Gothic Window block. The block was created with 3.5" strips - 12.5" x 12.5" block
I plan I sharing a tutorial on how to make this block, tomorrow on TNT Thursday.

Other exciting news, I have Jenny Pedigo from Sew Kind of Wonderful (and Jenny's Doodling Needle) as my guest blogger for Quilty Embellishment Day (QED on the 15th)! Jenny is incredibly talented long arm quilter and quilt designer. She is the one that invented the quick curve ruler!

  2. I love Rose Window (but you know I loved Gothic Windows too)! You should be designing these for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks issues - they're the perfect size. I'm looking forward to the tutorial!

  3. Your Rose block is amazing. Your post today is so inspiring. Feeling lazy and delaying getting going this am. But going to start! Want to look at those rulers. There is one at the quilt store here that is suppose to be used for cutting fabric, but i thought it could be used to mark curves on the quilt for quilting. What are your thoughts? It had three different sized curves in one ruler rather than having to get three diff rulers.
