Be sure to check out Judy's blog for some good ole Monday inspiration!

Oh and I almost forgot, Jingle Applique Block #4 is coming this Friday...woo hoo!!!

Interupting this vacation for AURIFIL

Hello everyone. I am taking a little vacation break to blog about the Aurfil Designer for June...

Head on over to the Aurifil Blog to read all about her and her super cute designs.

Also, be sure to enter to win the thread...it's the collection of BIG spools ($120.00 value)

Colorado Rocky Mountain High...

I'm off to the mountains this week (well, higher than my normal mountains) for a little hiking and relaxation. Will be back next week sometime with a Jingle applique block.

Toodles!

Jingle Pieced Block 3

OK, so I figured out what has been slowing me down as far as getting these pieced block directions up..it’s the dang handouts. So I figured you guys would rather have blocks and made the executive decision to skip handouts since piecing doesn’t really need them. I will just be doing the pieced blocks in photo tutorial style. Sorry if this is inconvenient for you guys but if we are going to finish this quilt this is what is going to work.

Anyhow...here is Pieced Block 3 (and yes, my points are a little bit chopped off, sigh)

For cutting:



Yellow:
1 square 6” x 6” (star points)(I’m using Quilt in a Day Flying Geese Rulers for this one, if you are using the other method you will need 8 squares 2” x 2”)
1 square 3 1/2” (star center)
4 squares 2” x 2” (outside corners)

Cream:
2 squares 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” cut in half diagonally, twice

Red:
1 square 4 1/2” x 4 1/2” (for use with QIAD Ruler, if doing standard method cut 4 rectangles 2” x 3 1/2”)
4 squares 2” x 2”

Green:
1 square 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” cut in half diagonally, twice
4 squares 2 3/8” x 2 3/8” cut in half diagonally, once

Use red and yellow to make 4 1 1/2” x 3” (finished) Flying Geese. Sew together with red 2” squares and Yellow 3 1/2” square to make star.

Using cream and green 4 1/4” quarter-square triangles, make 4 pieced strips like these.

Sew green 2 3/8” half-square triangles to ends of pieced strips.

Sew pieced strips, star and yellow 2” squares together to finish block.

I will NEVER get tired of this...

Here is a very cool and beautiful Floribunda quilt made by blog reader Maryann. It's hand appliqued and hand quilted. I think the dark background is just lovely!!!

Well done Maryann, Bravo!

A VERY BIG Jingle sneaky peaky...

Here is what I was up to with my holiday weekend. Yep, that's Jingle all righty.

It was pure luxury to stay home for 3 days and only work on it. I have all the pieced blocks done and now I just have to write up the directions for pieced block 3.

I am going to try really hard to get that up by friday. Then, this summer I am going to get the rest of these done and written so that we can finish our quilts and quilt them for Christmas!!!

Thank You

I'm taking a break from blogging this Memorial Day and trying to remember all the brave men and women who have served our country. Bless you.
