So I joined everyone last night for Friday Night Sew In. Visit everyone else's blog here http://sugarlanequilts.blogspot.com/2015/01/fnsi-sign-ups.html
I started sewing my pinwheel blocks for a charity quilt I am making.
The pinwheel blocks get mixed in with these 16-patch blocks. The quilt calls for 25 16-patch blocks and 24 pinwheel blocks. My 16-patches are all done!
I have more half square triangles waiting to be made into pinwheels maybe this afternoon. My book club is coming over for brunch this morning. We read Gone Girl and are going to watch the movie with great food and mimosas. I have a French toast casserole in the oven now...
This is the quilt I am making. Isn't it a cheery thing!!!
It is part of Sarah's Sweet 16 Quiltalong 2015 and you can find directions to make it here http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2015/01/sweet-sixteen-quilt-along-sixteens.html
Sarah also organizes quilt donations for charities in the spring. Last year, I participated and donated a quilt to Happy Chemo. Details for this year are not available yet, but I am looking forward to donating at least one quilt.
I am participating in the Grow Your Blog event tomorrow, but I am having trouble with my Bloglovin' link. I even removed it. Does anyone have any advice? I will also have a giveaway, so be sure to stop by! Have a great weekend!
What a lovely cheery quilt! I am envious of your book club - I would so like to belong to one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy quilt this will be when it's done :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteI love this, it's so bright and lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Tanya - I'm popping in from fnsi.
ReplyDeletewow your piecing & happy colours are so gorgeous - i'm sure your finished work will be impressive!
Bye for now!
Can't wait to see your finished quilt! Your book club sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty bright blocks! It's going to be a spectacular quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI THOUGHT that setting looked familiar! Such a happy quilt, and such a cool setting for 16-patches! Gone Girl...it's on my 'to read' list (which is 1/2 mile long I swear). I read Sharp Objects, and found it pretty dark... No advice on the bloglovin' sorry. Think mine works fine!
ReplyDeleteI love the setting for your blocks! It is definitely a quilt that will be great to donate to someone who needs some cheer. I read Gone Girl and saw the movie. Very creepy! What did you think of the movie?
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome, I love the design!
ReplyDeleteYour color choices are great! I love both quilts. I want to join your book club!! French toast casserole and mimosas? That's my kinda book club. Cheers!

The Sweet 16 Quiltalong quilt is cute! And the colors in your blocks are so happy. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really clever quilt design, I love the effect the the pinwheels making it look on point.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cheerful quilt. Looks like a fun one to work on.

ReplyDeleteI love this setting for 16-patch blocks! Another idea I need to add to my list.
