Ongoing projects
Color Block Placemats - I gifted two placemats for Christmas, and the recipient was so pleased. I've since finished three more, and just quilted the last of the remaining three tonight. So now I'll be binding for a bit, but the end is in sight. (pattern by Oh, Fransson on Sew, Mama, Sew!)
Hometown "Wild Thing" - I'm excited to really get going on this quilt! Minimal cutting is needed, seven quick seams, and a block is done. 3/42 blocks complete. (pattern by Thimble Blossoms)
Japanese x and + swap blocks -This is for a flickr swap that officially starts on January 7, and runs through February 18. They are a fun little block to put together, and I plan on making mine from my scrap basket. (tutorial by badskirt found here)
Upcoming projects

Beautiful blocks, Debbie! The hometown quilt will be gorgeous! And I love the scrappy X and + blocks -- what a great scrap buster block -- I might have to make some!
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks!!!! I need a light box too but have not quite found the time to get one made. Can't wait to see the modern block bee block!!!!
ReplyDeletegood morning. I like your x and + block. I will try one sometime. The wild thing is fun to do. I did a small one from flurry but didn't use a pattern. I just sliced my charm pack apart and re-sewed. Have fun : )
ReplyDeleteThe bottom block is very pretty. I follow you but saw this at WIP.

Your projects are great Debbie. I'm doing the x and + block swap as well! Love your block.
ReplyDeleteFun projects, as usual! I have that Wild Things pattern and really need to use it. And I got a new kitchen table recently! Pretty sure it needs some placemats. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteGreat looking projects! I need to check out that color block placemat tutorial, I may have enough Flurry fabric now to make Christmas placemats... for next year of course. But I may as well get them done now instead of in November! I love that Wild Thing pattern too. On my wish list for someday.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks! I love your x and + block, amazing how they all look so different. Hope I get one of yours!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the Wild Thing blocks!! I didn't use that exact Hometown print in my quilt but I loved that one too. It was hard to narrow it down to just 9 of the prints when I was choosing.
ReplyDeleteAlso the bee block looks great, do I recognize that pink center cross as one of the scraps I sent you?? :)
Would love to come over and help you bind placemats - it's my faaaaaaavorite part.
Everything looks beautiful! I love that x & + block, fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie I always like to see what you are up to. I'm loving the Japanese X block.
ReplyDeleteWhat great blocks! Love that x and + block, thats on my list to try!
ReplyDeleteOoh, love the look of those Hometown blocks, and I'm hoping to get cracking on those x and + blocks tonight :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the x block tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Debbie! I am most interested in seeing the Wild Thing come together.
ReplyDeleteI love the Hometown blocks - cant wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteYour Japanese blocks are great. I've been pulling out of my scrap bin too. I was having trouble at first choosing fabrics (I was starting with the +) but now I have a good feel for them. I hope I get some of yours!
