Trimming the Tree #3

I am pleased with my progress over the weekend on the Christmas stocking...

I also managed to get a few patchwork blocks put together. I have 42 with 1 spare that I might use to swap out a plain one, or maybe I could make 6 more for another row...?😉 We'll see what happens when my backing fabric finally arrives and I get taken up with doing a 'quilt as you go' method - can't wait to get started on it!

Adventure Quilt Blocks #4

So here are the remaining blocks (I think) from the Red, Black and White quilt. I have 35 in total now (with one final one still in progress) but I'm still unsure how to arrange them - square, or do some more for another row...?? I plan to do sashing and cornerstones which will help to enlarge the size. I'd like to do black minky on the back for softness and warmth, a red binding, and I need to hunt for a black fabric with a small white and red design on it for a border. I haven't seen anything just right so far... I'd like to do it big enough for a king size bed, but that probably means a few more rows will be required. I might just think about it for a while.

So I started doing the Adventure Quilt Blocks, now I'm just making them up myself as I go along...

 

 

 

So much fun!

Adventure Quilt Blocks #2

I had a really good run over the weekend and completed several blocks. They are simple enough to do at least one per evening which means I'm getting quite a good collection happening.

I don't know what size quilt this will end up being, but I do know that I'm having super fun making up the different blocks.

Here are a few of the ones I've made recently:

 I'm having so much fun putting these together. Who knows what it will turn out to be...

Adventure Quilt Blocks #1

I've got a few black & white and red & white prints that I'm going to use for a number of different blocks which will then form a quilt. Last night I tried a Dresden block for the first time and I'm super happy with how it turned out.
I'm following the Adventure Quilt blocks by Nancy Zieman on Craftsy. This is block #1.
