Cora's Quilts Spring Sampler -- Block 1

Each Monday (starting today) a block will be released at Cora's Quilts for the Spring Sampler.  I will be using a monochromatic color scheme.  Although I'm an Accuquilt cut 'n go girl, I don't really care for cutting things ending in 1/4"... 7/8"... 5/8"...  But I LOVE this block!  Here's the block that was released today.   It is called Pyramids.

Okay, I gotta admit it.  I can't stop looking at this block.  I know I don't want to make a ton of them, because of all those odd sized cutting... but I just LOVE this block!!!  I bet it makes it close to the center (or at least on my side of the bed) in the quilt.

It's Check in Day for H2H

It's Check In day for the Hands to Help (H2H) quilts at Confessions of a Fabric Addict blog.  Link up your H2H Charity quilt!  Here's mine:

 

This quilt will be going to Happy Chemo in the H2H Challenge.

 

 

BOM & QA Updates

Before I start the Spring Sampler at Cora's Quilts I need to re-group and organize where I am with my other BOM's for 2014.  I know I do a weekly WIP Wednesday, but this will help me know where I am with each QA and help with future block color planning.

Thanks to the FNSI I am all caught up with my Christmas QA at Love Laugh Quilt blog.



I'm all caught up on my Sew at Home Mummy  Classic Meets Modern BOM.  Looks like I need more green in the up-coming blocks.

 

I am up to date on the kite girl blocks for the RSC14.

 

 

I am up to date on the Pat Sloan Globetrotting BOM.

 

 

I am up to date on the Quilt Doodle Designs 2014 Mystery (Christmas) BOM

 

 

I am a little behind and need the March and April blocks for the Mod Mod QA @ Block Lotto.  Here's the January and February blocks:

 

 

I need some purple blocks for this month's RSC14 Picadilly Circle blocks

 

 

I am only half way done with the Super Mario center block QA at Cora's Quilts.

 

 

 

Building Blocks QA with Leah Day -- All caught up on blocks.

 

 

Triangle QA at The Sassy Quilter.  Triangles all cut; need sewn into a top!

 

 

...And Sew On BOM at Quiet Play (one block to go)  I have everything I need to make the last block.  I just need the four or so hour block of time to do it.

 

 

MSBHQAL (Molli Sparkles Broken Herringbone Quilt Along)

I only make one block for this QA.  I really love the pattern.  I just need the time to work on it.

 

 

We Can Do It Skill Builder blocks -- 4 to go?

 

 

Summer Sampler/Solstice Stars got combined.  I might need to add the Spring Sampler to this set too.

 

 

Bluepatch Mystery Quilt -- No pics found...  Just a few blocks to go on that one too...

 

Bonnie Hunter 2013 Celtic Solstice Mystery

I still need to make some chevrons...  All other blocks are sewn.  The top needs to be put together after the chevrons are made. 

 

 

Gypsy Wife QA (recycling  Red/White Flower Basket Quilt into this project & duds.)

I have really fallen behind on this project.  I do have the spreadsheet and some awesome checklists.

 

 

 

 

WHEW!!!  Now that's a lot going on at once.  Now that I know where I am, I can see where I need to go.  I'm going to start with what needs the least done first.

 

 

 

 

 

RSC14 - Scrap Saturday

Here's my block for today for the RSC14 Scrap Saturday.  It's another Picadilly Circle block.  This pattern can be found in Quiltmaker Magazine, July/August '13, No. 152.
Here's a copy on Amazon.

I'm linking up with Angela at SoScrapy: ScrapHappy blog.

 

Here's my RSC14 progress for this year:

Blue - 15
Pink - 35
Teal - 8
Purple - 4

1 Teal table topper complete

1 scrappy jelly roll race quilt made while sorting the teals in the colors of blues/greens with some orange thrown in is quilted and needs a binding.

Whohoo! Now that's progress!
