Training Wheels, maybe?

I got this week's block finished today. Amazing, eh? Since it was a 12" block, I made it in my Red, White, and Blue color combination.

I may actually be able to finish a quilt or two using the "Block Party" blocks this year! My decision to use more controlled scrappy palettes for each of the block sizes was a good one.

I do like some of the blocks I made last year, and no doubt my piecing skills got a LOT better, but I have far too much variation in color and pattern of the fabrics. I need to spend some time thinking of good settings for wildly disparate blocks. Seems a shame to just let all those orphan blocks languish in their plastic prison!



The second block I did today is from week 17, it is a simple "Puss in the Corner". Quick and simple - took about half an hour. A few more simple 12" blocks and I'll have a quilt for July!

Puss Quilt Block - Evelyn/Starfishy

I am working with very small scraps so can't always follow the exact fabric placement layout - but here is my version of Puss in the Corner.  Quick and easy!

Since it is almost Friday again, I thought I had better finish the last two blocks. To set an example - you know. This one was easy. I'm not sure if I like the background fabric. It looks like it has the measles now that I have posted it.

Kathie's Week 17 - Puss in the Corner 3

As Hetty predicted, this was an easy one. I had it done in about a half hour. I added another print for the middle square instead of using the plain fabric. I wish that my blue and green fabric had a little more contrast. Maybe you can learn from my experience.

It's Friday already!
This week's block is called, 'Puss in the Corner 3'. It's a 12-inch block and it looks easy.

Happy Sewing!
