Whirl Quilt Block

I thought Whirl would be nice in 4 colours rather than the two I had made it with.
So here's a little visual aid if you'd like to make one of your own.

Use your favorite way to make the flying geese in the size of your choice.

 

Drawstring Pouch - Attempt 1

This didn't turn out quite they way it should have! I made it as a gift bag/ gift for a friend and almost didn't give it to her. I messed up on the fold where the drawstring should go. I also made the strings too short. So I ended up with only one string and a bag that doesn't open or close too easily. :( Live and learn I guess.

I did however use a French Seam on the inside which I think turned out nicely. And I did a little decorative stitching on the drawstring and the top of the bag. All this would have been perfect if I hadn't goofed on the drawstring flap. But I didn't have the time to rip it out and start over.

Next time I'll pay more attention.

Dancing Squares - Quilt Block

Make some blocks.
And Play! So many possibilities!

Make sure you trim your blocks to one size when you're done. Unless you're a jedi at piecing and your fabric doesn't stretch - trimming blocks is essential. I trimmed mine to 8.5".

Dancing Squares - Baby Quilt Top

My fingers almost froze trying to take this picture! :)
I'll do better ones when it's not so cold out.

This baby quilt is made with Sandy Gervais' Snap Pop. I used one Charm Pack and 2 Candy Squares and a lot of Kona Snow!

It's a simple block and can be moved around to create different patterns.
I trimmed each block to measure 8.5" X 8.5" and used all 42 Charm Squares in a pack so it's a 6 X 7 layout. So the finished size will be 46" X 56".
