These blocks go together beautifully! I was on a roll and made all that I had cut out. Then….

Yeah, I needed four more blocks. I found a couple fat quarters that would work. These are really hard to photograph. The photo below shows the truest color. The background is not solid. The rest are more of a muted color than the photos show.

Oops! I see a couple blocks that are turned wrong. No worries, they got fixed. And now they are ready to sew together.

Have a great day!

I picked up this die last spring. It was one of the Overstock dies that AccuQuilt had on sale. I am always checking the Overstock section, because it changes all the time. Great deals there!

Anyway, I wanted to try this die out. I have two little fat eighth bundles as shown on the right below. I thought I’d pair them with this aged muslin.

Cutting didn’t take long at all.

Of course, I had to piece a few to see how they would look.

I’m hoping to have enough for a table topper.

Have a great day!

I’ve finished piecing and basting the little Monkey Wrench top. Now I’m trying to decide how to hand quilt it.

Here are my ideas so far. First, Baptist Fans.

I like the idea of something different in the setting triangles.

Cross hatch?

Maybe hanging diamonds.

I guess I’ll decide when I sit down to stitch today. Have a great day!

I finished repiecing the blocks.

Here’s a “before” photo.

I wanted to use vintage fabric for the setting triangles, but all I had was this plain feedback.

Nope, nope, nope. Then I found this vintage tan.

Nope. So I tried this repro.

Maybe…… I didn’t realize this would be the hardest part!

Have a great day!

Lori at Humble Quilts is hosting a panel challenge. The idea is to come up with a creative way to incorporate a panel into a quilt. I still haven’t started! But here are a few I’ve done in the past.

This first one was awarded as a Quilt of Valor. The panel has the Declaration of Independence on it.

The blocks in this one were from a block exchange hosted by Barb at Fun with Barb. The panel shows Civil War Union Generals.

Here we have Grant and Lee appearing together. I call this the Get Along quilt.

I better get going through my panels and come up with a plan.

Have a great day!

….to introduce you all to the happy couple.

Have a wonderful day!

Even though these blocks were hand pieced, it still took forever to take them all apart. But they are finally done. I have recut them to a smaller size.

I used these dies from my AccuQuilt 4” Qube.

I just place the pieces on the die and run them through!

Aaaaaahhh! That’s more like it. It makes this OCD heart so very happy!

After recutting all the pieces for one block, they get clipped together again. I’m surprised how often I use these little clips!

And here is the first block, it will finish at 5”.

It would have taken less time to just cut new fabric, but I think this honors the maker while creating blocks that can actually be used. The variety of sizes to begin with, meant no chance that they would have fit together.

Have a great day!

It didn’t take long at all to piece these little blocks.

I played around a bit with setting ideas.

But nothing really clicked.

Then I remembered these blocks from the Ladies Aid BOM that I did last year. Hmmmm….

Definitely needs a colored sashing if I do this.

That is really wide sashing. But I think I like it.

I’m going to think on this a while.

Have a great day!

I was in the mood for a mini! So I grabbed these AccuQuilt dies and some scraps.

I cut enough pieces for six blocks, but I might make more.

Here is one block. It finishes at 5 inches.

I’m not entirely sure where this is headed yet. I need to play some more.

Have a great day!
