Isn’t this FUN? I’m really enjoying these blocks! Imagine when the quilt is finished. Images of each iconic letter of the alphabet and their interesting interpretations as part of our Quilting World! Ingenious!

WOW! This quilt was made by Sue in the Friday class from the green swap we did in March. The pattern is called Nuclei and this version is fabulous. Look at the border fabric and how it has many shades of green. It is the perfect border for a swap quilt with lots of green [...]

Quite often, lovely quilts have beautiful appliquéd Scallop borders… Which got me thinking… Could a scallop border be pieced?

I have been going round and round on what our H block should be… Half hexagons? But we just did Gramdmas Glorious Garden with lots of hexes. I got some wonderful suggestions from the comments on last weeks post but then it came to me! Hawaiian Hibiscus Appliqué! Heavenly!

For all you history buffs out there (and since I’m talking to quilters, I know a lot of you are history lovers!) I have a special treat for you… A Titanic block!
