March Block - Wishes QAL

The quilt along sponsored by Jolly Jabber, the blog of Fat Quarter Shop, is called Wishes. Participation is free, but it is requested that participants make a donation to Make A Wish Foundation. If you go to Jolly Jabber look for the Wishes icon in the sidebar.When you click on that icon, you will find all the necessary details for making the blocks. Here is my March block.

I am so excited to see how this quilt turns out. I love these older Fig Tree fabrics. I bought them in a fat quarter pack way back in 2006, and have had absolutely no plan for them all this time. I do believe I was just waiting on this quilt along to make a perfect match.

Getting all three blocks together made for some weird lighting. Aren't they fun, though? I really like how these blocks are looking. Those sweet, soft colors will be really gorgeous in a quilt, won't they?

Happy Quilting, Friends!

February Wishes Block

It took me two weeks to get to it, but I finally have the February block put together for the Wishes Quilt Along, sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop/Jolly Jabber. I didn't dare let myself put aside the Burgoyne Surrounded quilt, for fear that I'd not go back to it!

February Block

I'm using a vintage fat quarter pack of Fig Tree fabrics called A Day in the Country. And I have to say I really love the look I'm getting with these blocks in this fabric. It's turning out to be a great combination. Yay!

This month's block was decidedly more complex than last month's. Compare just 16 pieces in January's block with 96 pieces in February's! Whoa, Nellie!! They were smart to make the first block so easy; that sucked me right in. Oh well, it's just one block, and it took me just one evening. Not so bad.

Won't this be a pretty quilt? I've never seen a Fig Tree quilt I haven't liked!! So exciting!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
