I guess I didn’t have all that many pieces cut. I only ended up with 48 blocks. I need to decide if I want to make this bigger or not. In the mean time, I’ve been playing with layouts.
There are so many possibilities with this block!
Have a great day!
I’m starting something new today. Well, newish. I cut the brown triangles a couple months ago when I was working through scraps, and finally got around to cutting the other pieces.
These are the AccuQuilt Studio dies that I’m using. You could also use Shapes 2 and. 5 from the 8” AccuQuilt Qube.
These are the blocks I’m making.
Of course, I had to put a few up on the wall!
Stay tuned. 😊
Before I go, I wanted to remind you about the AccuQuilt Labor Day sale!
With a code for 25% off, it’s essentially a make your own sale!
Have a great day!

Done! I can’t wait to get this to my friend.
I attached the binding by machine.
This is the pantograph I used.
I’m glad to have this done. Have a great day!
While cleaning the sewing room, I found this top. It was made by a friend when I was teaching her to quilt. That was a very long time ago! After finishing the top, she got busy going back to school and I got busy with life. I confess, I’ve lost track of her! But her mom lives in town, so I decided to finish this up and hand it off to her mom.
Our hydrangeas are stunning this year.
We have cameras at our house in AZ. The car parked out front belongs to Daughter #2. I checked our camera and saw this. 😂
The three Es started school this week. They are growing up way too fast!
Have a great weekend!
Covering the World: One Quilt at a Time is a pay-it-forward campaign. This year, AccuQuilt has partnered with Island Batik and Baby Lock – who are both also sponsors for the campaign – to encourage quilters to make a quilt and donate it to the charity of their choice. Each week, team members from AccuQuilt and Island Batik will create their own quilt to donate, too. Recipients of a donated quilt will receive a handmade gift that can comfort them and remind them to pass along kindness to others.
This week it is my turn to share a quilt that I am donating. Each year in my area, there is a local quilt show/auction to raise money for our local Habitat for Humanity chapter.
I made this quilt last year in a QAL hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts .
It seemed the perfect piece to give to this wonderful cause.
I hope someone loves this quilt as much as I loved making it.

Well, it has been a productive month! Here are my finishes.

Have you ever used a beading or cross stitch pattern to make a quilt?
I’ve had a couple ideas for that pinned for a while and finally got started.
Above is the AccuQuilt die I’m using. Can you tell where I’m headed with this?
Have a great day!
Decisions have been made. Pieces have been cut.
I used my AccuQuilt Studio 3 1/2” strip die first.
Then I placed my strips perpendicular to the blades on my 1 1/2” strip die.
Voila! 1 1/2 by 3 1/2” rectangles! They look so pretty!
But I needed to sort them. I listened to a book while I worked on this part.
So far, I have January and February done. I will have one column for each month, including the high and low for each day, top to bottom.
It shouldn’t take long to get caught up now that I have a system. The hardest part will be waiting until the end of the year to finish.
Before I go, here are the current specials at AccuQuilt .
Have a great day!

I tried out my idea using the bow tie dies. I still can’t decide if I love it or not.
So I tried this die.
Hmmmm….maybe.
This is my starting point. There are twenty different colors in this bundle.
They included this awesome chart in the package to help keep track.
I originally wanted to do Michigan and Arizona in one quilt, but realized I wouldn’t need to add any colors if I just did highs and lows for one state. Since it has been a record year in AZ, that’s what I’m going to focus on.
If I run out of a color, I can order more fabric , but I’d rather not have to. So I’m trying to use a pattern with small pieces.
I think I’ll keep looking, but I feel much closer to actually starting now.
Have a great day!
Are you tired of this yet?
Apparently, I am and that is why it’s taking so long.
We will have kids here today, but I hope to get at least one more row added.
Have a good one!
