On September 1st, Kat released the new block for the Covered in Love blocks. These blocks are called Fiddlesticks! The tutorial is found at Zippy Quilts. Kat made a few adjustments to the tutorial so that the blocks would be cut to 12.5" The background fabrics are to be solid or textured solids. I used some cottons from my stash and the sticks are from my scraps.
On September 3rd, Cheryl released the next step in the Morewood Mystery Quilt. 90 HST ~ 60 3" size and 30 5 1/2" size.
Here are my HST!
Cheryl also did a Facebook video that was a very helpful tip in trimming the HST without stretching. Why have I not heard of this technique before?
The corners are perfect!
I also started the quilt challenge from the National Quilters Circle called Starlight Mountains. Week 1 instructions were released on Monday.
6 stars!
This is what is on my design wall!

Wow, Dawn, you have irons in all the fires! But I suppose there is plenty of time to do each weekly or monthly block(s). I am intrigued with the sticks blocks. And I wonder what you will do with all the half square triangles. I’ll be watching!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! Oh, thanks for the reminder about CiL. I will head over there next. Your blocks look pretty as do your stars. I'll see if I can check out Cheryl's video - that sounds like a handy tip to learn. Take care. ~smile~ Roseanne
