In the last few days, I've been working on a couple different things. Since it's the end of the month, it's time to finish up my entry for Joyful Quilter's Table Scraps Challenge. And I'm right on time with just the binding left to stitch up!
I'll have a finished post for this at the end of the week.
My other plan was to work on some blocks for the current block drive at Many Hands and Many Hearts. This is Cynthia's (Quilting is More Fun than Housework) charity organization which is collecting blocks for quilts that will be donated to a hospital in her city. The current block drive is for blocks called "Two Step," and made in fall colors.
To make some, I started by digging out a chunk of sunflower fabric that I had, and cut it into 5 inch squares.
This is really a simple block to put together - the rest of the block is made with five and nine inch strips. It goes together like this:
I don't think it will take long to sew up a few more of these!
Linking up with Midweek Makers at Quiltfabrication.
Love the blocks that you are making for Cynthia! The sunflowers make the block!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks... I'm looking for my Tilda fabric. I would like to make a top - I need a blanket with simple pattern blocks :-)))
ReplyDeleteMaybe your binding is already sewn now, it looks very good.
Have fun out in nature... greetings come to you from Viola
The sunflowers make this block extra special;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really easy and quick block. Might be ideal to use up a jelly roll.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your reveal later this week! That sunflower block is so pretty - I like that pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to water some plants then hurry inside to play with little flag blocks with a pattern shared by Melisa!
nice bright sunflowers!!
ReplyDeleteThe two-step blocks are such scrappy fun!
ReplyDeleteI have several pieces of sunflower fabric that would be good to use for Cythia's blocks. Now if I could only rmember what bin they are in. Hard to believe it's the end of June already.
ReplyDeletePat
yay you for being on time!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunflowers in the blocks - those will be cool!
Oooh a sneak peek of your flags. I love what I see! The sunflower block looks like a fun one to work on . Gorgeous fabrics. You will have them whipped out in no time. Have a great time in the sewing room. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this month's table scrap project. The sunflower fabric is perfect for those two step blocks! Cynthia will be very happy to get those.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about Cynthia's block drive. I really like how your block looks. I need to check my stash for some fabrics to do this.
