Remember my recent mouse pad?
Well here's the quilt that inspired me to make it.
Of course I only saw one process pic of a block, but it was enough! I love the finished quilt by Maureen Cracknell - and the setting for her photo shoot.
Another quilt that caught my eye this week was the Starburst Quilt by Sukie for the Fat Quarter Gang. I'm mulling over some possibilities with this one. Love those large 20 1/2" blocks.

I pre-ordered a book a while back and it came yesterday - Tula Pink's City Sampler: 100 Modern Quilt Blocks.
It sounded cool, but I had no idea it was actually a sampler quilt project too. I'd barely digested that little fact when I saw Sara of Sew Sweetness post about her upcoming sew along! So how about that? Very tempting!
So it's short and sweet today. I'll leave you with a sneaky peek of my low-volume quilt that is now all quilted and has just a few inches of binding on.
I'm going to need a name for this one soon, so if you have any ideas, shout 'em out! (And yes, someone forgot to put their walking foot back on after switching gears for a bit. No worries, it was rectified soon!)
Linking up with Really Random Thursday.

I am so looking forward to seeing the as-yet named low volume quilt! And I have the Tula Pink book on order too! I also didn't know it was a sampler book! I am still considering whether I will 'quilt along'!
ReplyDeleteVery nice looking 'random', Debbie! That book looks interesting. Can't wait for the big LV reveal!
ReplyDeleteI love both those quilts too! Your mouse pad is a brilliant idea and the low volume is looking great :)
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering about that Tula Pink book.... Are the blocks truly put together via templates? That's something I read somewhere I think.....
ReplyDeleteI am in SUCH a rut it's not even funny. Haven't sewn in at least a week. :( Your post inspires me a bit to get back at it, but now I have to work today and tomorrow. Bummer!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are fabulous!! Love your mouse pad too! I am still learning but you are such an inspiration! <3
ReplyDeleteI got my book yesterday, too. I thought, "It's only a matter of time before someone does a sew along with this!"
ReplyDeleteI still want your mousemat ;o)
ReplyDeleteDoes the mousepad work as a mousepad? Because if it does I've got to make one of those.
ReplyDelete? for quilt name. How about "blue prints for tomorrow"
ReplyDeleteI like the low volume peak!
ReplyDeleteWhat beauty you have here. I love the quilt and mouse pad, I love your low volume MCM quilt and I have that book on pre order too.
ReplyDeleteThat low volume quilt looks beautiful, I'm really looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you have been having!!
ReplyDeleteYour mouse pad is very cool. My Tula Pink book arrived in the mail the other day--I had sort of forgotten I had preordered it. I LOVE it. I'm glad Sara is doing the sew-along. and I like Sukie's quilt a lot. Can't wait to see the unnamed quilt completely finished. You are so speedy.
