Our quilt group sew day this week was all about the panels. This is how mine started out.

I then added three inch borders.

I made hour glass blocks at our sew day. This picture was about deciding on fabrics.

Have a great day!

The Palo Verde Patchers held their quilt show last weekend. There were so many beautiful quilts! I though5 you might enjoy seeing some of them also. Enjoy!

Have a great day!

Mr. Wonderful and I got up a couple garage sales last week. One had quilting stuff! I got this bag full for $5.

Here are a few of the things inside.

I will show more soon!

Have a great day!

We went up to Prescott recently and stopped at our favorite pizza place.

Best pizza ever!

This came in a bag of sewing scraps that I bought at a yard sale. Any idea what it is?

I stuck it on a ruler to see if it was a handle, but it was not helpful. Someone suggested it was for binding.

Jo at Jo’s Country Junction recommended this book. I’m very much enjoying it.

Check this out. I loved this puzzle!

Have a great day!

My local quilt group is holding a panel challenge. They had a bunch of panels to choose from at the last meeting. The idea is that we each come up with a plan and then work on our tops at the next sew day. All quilts will be donated. This is the one I chose.

Panels can be tricky to use. I’ve been looking back at some previous quilts I’ve done to try to find some inspiration.

I’m leaning toward doing something like this.

I guess I better start pulling fabrics.

Have a great day!

When my sweet mother in love moved at Christmas, I got a gallon size ziploc bag of buttons!

These originally belonged to my FILs mother. I could spend days looking at these!

Aren’t they fun?

I’d love to come up with a way to display them.

Let me know if you gave any ideas.

Have a great day!

I saw an ad for bathroom tile a long time ago. I thought it would make a great quilt. I screen shotted it and saved it.

Until now! I’m starting with 2 1/2” squares.

I started piecing this at my kitchen table since I was dog sitting.

The fridge makes a great design wall in a pinch.

How many weiner dogs do you see in this photo?

Have a great day!

These triangles finish at one inch. They must be pieced carefully!

I’m still trying to work out the “rules” I want to follow for making these blocks. This is the first one I made.

I have decided against using the light prints. I am now up to four blocks.

I have seen some blocks made by other quilters that are made from a consistent background and just one print for the blocks. I liked those a lot. Maybe even better than scrappy!

You can tell from looking at these that I switched machines after the first block. 🙄

I haven’t found my rhythm with these yet, I should be an expert by the end.

Have a great day!
