Common Blocks by Beverly H

Quite a challenge to find blocks that fit and we’re somewhat cohesive…very limited time this week! 

I used the Elm Creek Quilts Civil War designs:  “Maine”. Sylvia’s Shooting Star. Friendship Star and then added two houses from Moda’s “Village “ and Bee In My Bonnet “Schoolhouse.

Common Blocks by Nancy H

Floating Blocks PQ 16.3 Common Blocks

This week’s theme is Common Blocks. I chose to create tiny blocks by using Elmer’s glue instead of piecing. I included 4 different blocks: Flying Geese, Friendship Star, Pine Tree and French Rose. With the friendship star for the sun of course! I really like how the blocks seem to be floating on the background!

 My quilt is 7”x5”. #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason16

This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme. Prizes will be given out by random drawing. Each week is a different theme. Here is a link to this season 16: https://kimlapacek.com/project-quilting-season-16

I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 7”x5” this year so I’ll have a set of postcards when I’m done. For the label, I’m writing on the back with a fabric marker.

Common Blocks Bag by Lily H

For this challenge I found a stack of 1/2 square triangles to create blocks for my bag. 

Flying geese, pinwheel, and square in a square. 

Where the pinwheel meet it create the broken dish block. This bag is little larger than the previous ones but I’ll find a use for it.
Another fun challenge.

2 left over fabrics from a past project

3 common blocks:

Courthouse (well half of the block on left…)

Ohio star (state where it was created-in the middle  )

Flying geese (to fly pouches  from Ohio to Paris)

It was fun to play with good old classic blocks!!

Thank-you

Ombre

Feather Merge

13"x10"

I really wanted to use my hand dyed fabric as I have so much (addicting!).. And I didn't want to cover it with applique ect instead stitched a feather (out of practice!!) and various quilting stitches for the fun of it.. and have full view of the merging colours.. This was alot of fun!! 

Ombre Bag by Caroline

Traveling week to a sewist friend’s domicile. She’s a bag maker so guess what? We made a bag!!!!

We used the modified version of the H2O bag by “Linds Handmade design”…. Too much fun too little pictures taken … I created a Fabric with her scraps and then used that “ombré fabric” to cut out the water bottle bag. Fun them of course we spotted ombré everywhere all week!

One must also match her travel book to her travel H2O bag and bottle!! So actually that just happened… I grabbed one scrap box and it was these tones.

Ombre by Linda M

This is my little quilt.

 I used batiks for the heart and binding, and a cotton ombre as the background. 

I stamped the background with a large ‘love’ stamp using gold ink.

Ombre by Maren R

 Another fantastic challenge.

I made my Ombre felt and then i got carried away a little bit. 

I was using the colours from the mythical creatures and i think there was still a creature in the wool who wanted to come out.

I cheated and stitched only through 2 layers because couldn't fiddle batting inside and no more wool left for another project. 

wet felting, stitching

Ombre by Robyn W

I've been collecting photos on Facebook, putting them into albums I might use for inspiration. PQ16.2 "Ombre" gave me the opportunity to use this simple picture of a snowflake. While I'm not totally thrilled with the outcome, it was a good lesson and gave me the chance to practice thread painting and work on improving attaching my binding on the back. I've often struggled with that but recently I learned using a stitch-in-the -ditch foot is the key to a more-finished binding. This one is perhaps the best I've ever done!

This piece finished out at 9" x 11" and is pieced with appliqued limbs that were thread painted; the snowflake is thread painted and the entire block has been quilted in a small loopy fashion using Madeira Rayon thread.

I was delighted to find a backing in my stash of fat quarters that worked so well with the work!


Thanks, Kim and Trisha for another great Challenge!

Ombre by Beverly H

I wasn’t sure how to do “ombré”. I spend a good bit of time with mountain and river cleanup. That’s the mood outside.

ombre geese by Eva K

 My ombré flying geese. Love making them but technique could always be better. I like how the black background “pops”

The colors but never a great idea with two cats. The cat hair also “pops”.
