For the past three years I have participated in a fun and low-stress quilt along. I’ve made some lovely sampler quilts along the way and I’ve been inspired by all of the other participants. This year I went with a smaller version and came up with a fun mini quilt. Here is my 2021 ...
It’s almost a new year which also means it’s the end of this year’s Patterns by Jen 2021 Monthly Color Challenge. What fun it has been quilting along this year. It is my third year participating and I’ve made some lovely and super scrappy quilts along the way. ...
November has arrived and I am excited to say that I am one of the featured bloggers for the Patterns by Jen 2021 monthly color challenge this month. We are finishing up the year soon and it has been such a pleasure quilting along with others. Here is my November block for the color challenge. ...
As in the last two years, I am joining in the Patterns by Jen monthly color challenge. Pink is what the October block for the color challenge is. The fruit that inspired it was a grapefruit. I call it pretty in pink and I went with a softer hue to go with my gray and white background. I have ...
We are in the home stretch on the 2021 Patterns by Jen quilt along. The September block for the color challenge was a fun one to make and a little different. Inspired by the pineapple, the color prompt was yellow. Since it’s almost autumn now, I went with a softer yellow that had brown ...
As I write this blog post we are already halfway through the year. I find it hard to believe, but it is already time for the July block for the color challenge. This month it is all about green and it is also a more modern block. If you follow my blog you know that, for this year, I am making a ...
For this month’s block in the Patterns by Jen 2021 Monthly Color Challenge, the prompt was orange like a pumpkin. For me that color is either a hit or a miss, but I find (for some weird reason) I am using it more and more in my work. I used a more subdued orange fabric for this pattern ...
This month on the Patterns by Jen quilt along is all about brown. I’ll be honest, brown is not a color I use a lot in my quilting, but I do from time to time. Luckily I have a fair amount of the color in my stash so I had plenty to choose from when making my May block for the color ...
The Patterns by Jen 2021 quilt along continues with my April block for the color challenge. This month’s color prompt was red cherries. I wish it was cherry season here, but not yet. In keeping with my prior months, I am using the same gray and white background fabric. I have been using ...
This month I am honored to be one of the featured bloggers in the Patterns by Jen 2021 Monthly Color Challenge. I have been participating in the challenge for three years and this is the second year Jen has featured a few of my blog posts. I really enjoyed making the March block for the color ...
Reminding me of spools, this month’s block for the Patterns by Jen 2021 Monthly Color Challenge may look tricky to assemble, but it’s not. A lemon was the prompt for this month, so you know it has to be bright yellow. I went for the brightest yellow I had for my February block for ...
