Block from my sampler quilt

It's been some time since my last post. Life has just been busy. Over the time I have finished a nine block sampler top as a teaching tool. Almost finished the hand sewing on a 3D quilt that I started years ago with Amanda Daley when I was doing classes at Hobbysew.

Here are some of the Sampler Blocks I did in her on going class.

The technique used in these block was foundation piecing with interfacing.





The star block is my 6 hour block as it took me six hours to make!!!!!!hehe
It was just one block that I was going to get right!!!!

Here is the back of two blocks to show how the interfacing has been used.

London Square Block 11

Here is my Civil War Block London Square block 11

I Spy Blocks

I had fun at the last craft show buying most of these fabrics to make these block.
Four blocks made 44 to go.
I do have to get more boy theme fabrics.
The blocks are so easy to make it's the cutting that has taken time.

Snowball Cat Quilt

This is another project I am working on at the moment. My friend who is a cat lover too has been swapping squares with me so I can make myself a cat quilt. I have had all this cat fabric sitting in a box so its time to be used.

When all the snowballs are made I am going to add stashing between the blocks. Maybe put four blocks together or stashing around each block still thinking.

My Civil War Blocks so far

I am happy to say that I have now completed six blocks and have started the seventh block Kansas Troubles and hope to finished this block over the Easter Weekend and maybe more.

Civil War Block 10

Today I have finished another block called Lincoln's Platform. A very easy block. I am very happy with the colours I have used in this block .

More Civil War Quilt Blocks

Here are three more of my finished blocks.

Texas Tears Log CabinBirds in the AirI do have more blocks cut ready to sew just have to find time to do them.
I am having fun doing this project and using my DJ fabric from my stash. Texas Tears is true for it's name what a hard block but with lots of unpicking and re cutting it is now the correct size 8 1/2"
