My Saturday so far…

For a short while  today I worked on the “monster” pattern  quilt I’ve mentioned before.   I don ‘t think I’ve ever had as much trouble with another pattern. I will get it finished  — someday!

For now though I’ve sat it aside, put another load of laundry in the wash and pulled out a book that I’ve had for a while but never use. The name is Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt. She has so many adorable patterns. The quilt blocks in this book are all traditionally pieced and are adorable. She gives the directions for a 6 inch & a 12 inch block for each design.  In addition to the many blocks she has included  9 or 10 quilt  designs in the book.  Even if  piece work is not your thing it’s still worth checking out because of the many  colored pictures.  Quilt eye candy!

I’d like to make at least one of each  block but I decided to start with the 6 inch chicken block.

The measuring and cutting took the most time but that’s not unusual.  The written directions  are very detailed with step by step colored diagrams for each step.  After the cutting it went together easily and much quicker than I thought it would.   I think the little chick will  be my next block to try. 

Oh, the washer has stopped so thats all for now. I’ll post more pictures as I get more blocks made.   I hope the rest of your day goes smoothly, is peaceful and full of creativity. 

That’s all for now…..

sooooooo    hugs  and
