Month 5 in the ShenandoahValley Botanical Album Quilt (do you see why we shorten it to SVBAQ!) sew-a-long is
the Yellow/Pink Tulip. I surprised myself by finishing it early this time (but I think I should have pressed it before I took the photo!).
Well, I guess I surprise myself every month when I realize I am still keeping
up with this.
This is my 8th block (I made 4 of the first month’s Pineapple
block for the 4 corners). I now have the first 7 hand quilted and bound.
I
switched up my block arrangement a bit from the original. It will be a while
before I can start stitching them together as they are introducing the blocks
randomly, which is actually a lot of fun. Maybe I'll just leave them in a pile for a while!
I like to see what Doreen and Dawn
will come with for the next blocks. Do head over to the blog (here) to see all
the wonderful blocks. They are on Facebook as well.
I actually got quite a bit
accomplished this weekend, but nothing photo worthy. I made up 75 kits for my
upcoming “potholder quilt” classes. That took all day Saturday and of course
while searching for scraps to make up the kits I decided to clean out two huge
scrap baskets. I see a scrap giveaway coming soon! I should have photographed
the empty baskets.
Enjoy your day.
Love them! It must be a great feeling to have the quilting and binding done as you go - and the quilting is so manageable on the little potholder size. Your echo quilting is superb as is the wonderful colour in these!!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look awesome together in the pile. Glad you're able to keep up. Sounds like your prepping for a big class. Nice to have some of your scraps cleaned up. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are absolutely fabulous - what colors and what beautiful applique! I haven't done month 5 yet...... because I'm not sure I'm going to continue. I sure wish I could skip north and join in on your potholder quilt class!
