I was in the mood to start something new this week, so I did! Last summer, after participating in The Crafty Quilter's Orange Peel QAL, I won a prize package that included this charm pack of Tilda, Country Memories.
When I saw the free quilt pattern offered in the Primrose Cottage newsletter last week, Spool Love, I thought it would be a fun one to use the charm pack for.
So far, I've made three spools and the heart block. The heart block needed two 3.5 x 6.5 inch rectangles, so I made those out of four of the charm squares. Sweet and fun!
A couple other new patterns/projects have caught my attention, too.
For participating in this year's Stay at Home Round Robin, I was the lucky winner of a pattern from Sew Fresh Quilts, and I chose her Hummingbird pattern. I think this could be a fun Rainbow Scrap Challenge project!
Thank you, Lorna!
And the other one - Sandra at mmmquilts hosts a QAL every spring, and I've participated for quite a few years in a row now. You can see this year's quilt right here. So far, I've just played with a fabric pull. I think the first block comes out this Friday.
Plenty to work on this week!

I took a class with Lorna from Sew Fresh Quilts years ago. She was a speaker at our guild . She live about an hour from where I live. The quilt I made was called Elephants on parade. You have lots of new projects to keep you busy! Gail at the cozy quilter
Lucky gal to win both a charm pack and a pattern in two different drawings! Have fun with your new projects.
That little quilt is adorable - I love that line of Tilda. Your winnings are really nice!
Sweet combo of cute Tilda prints and pattern!
That hummingbird quilt looks like a challenge. Different from your usual projects.

I like those spools and the hummingbird pattern would be an awesome RSC block! Happy stitching!
I have never gotten any Tilda fabric. Nice that you had a win! I never win anything anymore but then I don't participate in many. That made up a neat small quilt
What lovely prizes! That Tilda fabric sure is pretty. Congratulations on the wins. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Oooh a lot of fun stuff is going on in your quilt room, Diann. Your Spool and heart blocks look amazing. Such pretty fabrics that you have won. You are putting them to good use. I look forward to seeing the hummingbird quilt in the works. Hugs.
Love everything you're working on!
You've picked some fun new projects to play with. Are the humming bird blocks paper pieced? Those would be a fun RSC project.
I like have a few projects to work on, so your post is singing my song. Your fabric pull looks great (thanks for linking it up), and wow, yay for two wins. I’ve never bought any Tilda fabric but it really is pretty from what I’ve seen around blogland and shop newsletters. I love their patterns too. Lorna is a prolific and talented pattern designer (and she lives just a couple hours north of me!)
Your spools are so cute, Diann. I saved the Spool Love pattern and hope to make it at some point. Congratulations on both of your wins.
Lucky you! And I love your fabric pull for the new quilt.
