Block #6

These blocks made me want to pull my hair out!!!! I think I took the yellow one apart 4 different times! There's even a hole in the green fabric somewhere where I got a little aggressive with my seam ripper! I might actually redo that one completely, it just looks messy and puckery. I still have to do block 1. It called for a little more fabric than the layer cake piece actually had so I have to go and hopefully find a fat quarter to match the fabric I want to use.
Thanks for stopping by, off to Bradleys first baseball game of the season!!

Pinwheels

I am loving, loving, LOVING this quilt along!! These blocks are so much fun to put together. Well, it's fun AFTER their put together, triangles give me migraines! Please, don't zoom in :)
What I like most about these blocks are their finished size, they're a whopping 10 inches! What an impact the fabric has when you can see so much more of the pattern in the block.

Blocks 3 and 6



Blocks 2 and 4
I think I could make a quilt out of block 2 alone, so simple!

Since I was so late in finding and signing up for Rachels Quilt along, I had to catch up and cut my fabric for the 1st 5 blocks that she posted over the last 5 weeks. Block #6 should be posted sometime today. I plan on getting them all sewn up this week!

Score!

So one day last weekend was National Quilting Day and I knew nothing about it! I saw the pretty fabrics people bought themselves to celebrate, and all the projects people started. I felt robbed because I wanted to shop to celebrat too! So I waited patiently all week for my awesome quilt store to have their We Feed You, You Feed Them event today!! All you had to do was bring in 2 canned goods for the Food Bank of Northern Indiana, and if you got there between 6-6:30 am you got 30% off everything, 6:30-7:30 you got 25%, 7:30- 3:30 you get 20% off. What time was I there? Yup, I was there at 6:08! I don't even do that on Black Friday. I don't even get up that early on school days! Anyway, I bought a Frolic layer cake and 3yds of a vintage white fabric to start my Pinwheel Sampler Quilt, a couple really cute fat quarters and the denim needles I need to hopefully get my denim quilt together this weekend. It was totally worth the lack of sleep :)

Here's the progress so far on the denim quilt. I have the blocks together and will hopefully have the rows together tomorrow. I need a heavy duty needle for the extra layers of denim at the seems. I also have a friend with an embroidery machine who is going to help me embelish a square or two ;)
