the blue blog archives: playing with blocks

Thanks to Sew Mama Sew's quilting month, I've been playing around with different quilt blocks all week!

Youa are moving fast to the advanced quilters side. I still play with simple square block thing, I do not know if I dare to try a star yet :)

I envy you that you can just go to the shop and buy fantastic fabric. I have to wait for it to be shipped here. Although we have a shop carrying a lot of nice (american) fabrics (german fabrics often are oldfashioned boring ugly) they price them three times higher than in the USA and even with shipping and customs it is cheaper to order directly from the US.

Soooo waiting time, sniff, I so want to sew today.

I am really excited how wee ones quilt will work out.

Liebe Grüße

Sibylle

Marvelous quilting skills that you're developing now! I never really thought about the way all these triangles and squares could come together to form all those different patterns!

I think you have enough blocks for a quilt now. I love the old patterns with the new fabrics.

I love the irish chain one and the ohio star one - the colours are gorgeous, and the pattern works out really well.

MY GOODNESS!

With Wee One and two boys, and a house and a husband to take care of - where do you find the time to do such wonderful things!

My little one is very close in age to Wee one and I know how much time she demands -

I am just amazed! Please share your secrets! Please?
