Fast, Easy, Fun?

What’s not to like about this month’s block? Simple blocks in really fun colors, what could be easier?

So I did and here they are, all both of...

Three October blocks

Here are my three blocks, for donation.   I had no Halloweeny  fabric, it’s not really a thing in South Africa, but at a local mini quilt festival last week I found one piece of fabric (out of a dozen vendors!) that I thought would be fine.  They sewed up quickly!  I think I will use these dimensions in future blocks.  Karen N in Cape...

It’s a flimsy: Poppy Stars

I put the poppy blocks up on the design wall.  A side-by-side design didn’t thrill me. What about alternate blocks?  And this happened.  It’s approx. 60 x 72, all from my stash (in addition to the lotto winnings).  Cathy L. in Iowa, you inspired...
