I finished rolling windmills in pink. I sure like making this block. Even though I know what it looks like, I am still surprised by it.
I made 3 pink blocks for my square dance quilt. I made the 16 patches while working on other projects using 2 inch squares from my scrap drawer. I use a 10 inch square for the solid color and slice diagonally twice. Then, I trim it to 9 1/2 inches. I think the solid makes the scrappy look finished. I have really not used many solids in my quilting, and I think I want to try adding them to other projects.
We had an open sew for the guild, where I was able to finish 7 more dresden blocks to their background. I use tmy featherweight to sew them down, but, It would have been easier using my machine with an automatic needle down function. Still, It is a lot more fun sewing with other quilters. Did I mention I started these in 1986 when my daughter was born?
I was only able to make one sugar grove block
I added pink to as many other colors as I could for my zig zag quilt blocks
The guild is having a yard sale in May. I have cleaned out about 20 real store bought charm squares to sell ( As opposed to my scrappy ones ). I am not sure how to price them. Does $7.00 sound ok? This is the last Saturday for April, and I am looking forward to a new color.
