Bits and Bobs :)

Hi everyone, I’ve a few more odd blocks from this and that to show you. One of these days I may have a finished project to post, LOL, meanwhile I’ll show off what I have done :)

Here are a couple of Dear Jane blocks (well one block and one triangle) I am now up to 60 blocks and 7 triangles and one corner… so a long way to go yet :) but at least I’m back on the road with this one :-D

Also I’m back on track with the Inklingo Sampler blocks. This one is Barbara Brackmann #1961 and the one below is Flying Geese.

So that’s it for now. Oh I am working on a WIP and will post a picture of that once it’s completed.

That’s all for now hugs Elly

POTC block number 2 and Nearly Insane block for Inklingo Sampler and Tisket A Tasket

Slowly getting into the new year :) Here are a couple of completed blocks from a couple of WIPs…

First one is a block from the Inklingo Sampler (see button in right side bar) Tilde posted with permission from the Nearly Insane quilt. I have this book but I’m not sure I want to make this block again :))

The next block to be completed is my second POTC block. A lot of procrastination and frog stitching in this one. So it’s taken longer than it should. This one is completely hand stitched unlike my first where I did Hybrid piecing, ie part machine and inset seams hand done.

Oh and one more block I nearly forgot about that I’ve done since new year is last year’s BOM Tisket A Tasket from Bunnyhill January’s block.

I have some more pictures to show but must get to the camera and take them :)) Meanwhile that’s all from me for now :)

Happy Quilting, Elly

MORE LITTLE BLOCKS

The first one is a Dear Jane block D-3 Jason’s Jacks.

The next 2 are from the Inklingo Sampler and have been made using the Inklingo collections 1 and 2.

INKLINGO SAMPLER

Here are three more blocks that I’ve completed over the past week. They will go into 3 different quilts.

I have completed another hexagon today and have another of the ‘odd’ size blocks ready for piecing. This weekend, however, I’m hoping to work on my Basket Case Quilters blocks :) and catch up with those.

Last weekend I completed another of the Sunbonnet Sue blocks. Here she is, she is September’s Sue.

Here are my hexagon Inklingo sampler blocks so far.

I’m loving doing these, they are a lot easier than they look, seriously!

I also made another regular shape block last week. Here it is :-

This is a Dutchman’s Puzzle variation. Those flying geese are so easy and quick with Inklingo.

OOOpsy, I’ve missed posting a block… another of the Inklingo sampler blocks and here it is:-

 

Finally something that’s not part of the Sampler but Inklingo related is my very first POTC (Patchwork of the Crosses from the quilt made by Lucy Boston) Made so easy using the Inklingo collection for this quilt. No templates to make, just print the sewing lines on the back of the fabric, cut out and sew. Easy Peasey lemon squeezy!! Here it is:-

The centre was fussy cut to give the kaleidoscope look. To select the part of a fabric that will give a good kaleidoscope look I use a couple of small mirrors and place them at right angles on the fabric in various spots. When I find a look I like then I check to see if there are 4 repeats of that spot to use.

Just experimenting with my new laptop which has Vista installed. It has this facility to write to my blog from my desktop.

Here are the latest 4 of the Inklingo Sampler blocks that I’ve done over the past few weeks. I still have a few of the bonus blocks to do but will get to them soon. :)

INKLINGO SAMPLER, WEEK 4 - SHOOFLY

Here are my blocks for the Inklingo Sampler blogspot. I'm really enjoying working with these 30s fabrics. They are so sweet.

Week 3 INKLINGO SAMPLER

Here is my version of the 3rd week of the Inklingo Sampler.

Now I need some advice. Do I go with the bleached muslin, as in this picture, for the background OR choose to use a co-ordinating solid?? to go with these 30s fabrics? As I did with the 9 patch below??

Hugs

Elly

I still have week one to complete and the bonus blocks to do.

NEW INKLINGO SAMPLER

Take a look over on the Inklingo Sampler Blog where Tilde is making a new sampler using Inklingo. Here is my first block.

I am making mine using 30s fabrics. Here I've chosen to use a plain 30s yellow as my background for this block but I'm thinking maybe doing the others with a bleached muslin. Jury is still out. Meanwhile I will be making the next block with the muslin since it is already printed out. What do you think?? If I were to use a 30s solid for each block it would be a different solid for each block to go with the focus fabric being used.... decisions, decisions.
