June's Week 1 - Marion's Choice

Here is my first block for both the Friday Block Party and for 2011!

I had put all my sewing stuff away as I had a friend staying here while I was gone - but I think everything is set now so I can sew again!

I'm going to use this ash grey for my light backgrounds and I will probably be including a lot of the pink as my friend gave me a lot of this color.

Looking forward to these weekly challenges!

Kathie's Marion's Choice - Week 1

I'm starting out 2011 with a new color theme. Last year I was using up Thimbleberries fabric, and this year for the 10-inch squares I'm going to be using bright colors. My plan is to use them for a donation quilt for a child - either Project Linus, Quilts for Kids, or a local charity in my town. I find that if I set a purpose for the blocks, especially if it's a charity, I'm more likely to continue making them. I look forward to seeing what blocks Hetty chooses this year.

2011 Week 1

Here is the pattern for the first week of 2011. We will start with a 10-inch block. This one is called, "Marion's Choice".

I think we will have a 10inch block on the first week of each month. There will be more themes throughout the month.

Enjoy!
