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.

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.

No Tigers Were Harmed Pouches by Caroline

 No tigers were harmed during the making of these pouches. 

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
