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".

Finding Momentum

I remember when I began this quilt. It was sometime in October last year. I was so frustrated that I wasn't sewing anything that I got out two charm packs and decided to just sew. I was done with waiting for inspiration, or just the right design to hit me, or making something that would be fantastic... I just wanted to quilt. So I put this together. I think it could have been better but I had to start this quilt before I could start the 10 other quilts I started after!

This is the top. I might do a border with Kona Snow. 

Made some Progress

I just had to put my flying geese blocks together and see what they looked like. And I love it! 

I love how one pattern creates a whole new pattern. :)

I think I'm going to call this quilt Whirl. The pinwheel in gray in the center gives it a whirly feel don't you think?

Whirl

And a new project!

I am determined to make those sketches in my book come to life. So I started this easy peasy baby quilt with Kate Spain's Cuzco and a lot of Kona White!
