My sapphire birthstone inspired me to create a postcard memory jar of a fun cruise. Paper, cotton, vinyl, heat transfer vinyl.

Birthstone by Maren R
3 common blocks was the first i did not manage to complete. I made a design with curvy blocks and i really liked it and then i got the 16 year old dog i just adopted and she was sick and every 2-3 hours we needed to go for a pee and even in the night.....and i did not want to rush it.
So she is better and Birthstones was really a challenge because i really did not like my colours. So i decided to pick a background fabric which almost had them all and which i thought ugly and put it in the back of a cat Portrait. I still don't like the colours but its in the back and i will only look at it again, when i do the binding again by hand because with the maschine i was off
I really love project Quilting.
And most of the time i am so excited that i forget to take pictures from the process until i am almost finished.

Starry Night PQ 16.4 Birthstone
This week’s theme is birthstone. My birthstone is diamond so I have to use white in my quilt. I chose some white fabric with silver stars in it and it made me think of the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh. I created my version with fabric and thread. I thought the flamingoes would enjoy the starry night!

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 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.
Created by Beverly Hill for the Project QUITLING 16.3 Common Blocks Challenge.

Common Blocks by Nancy H
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!
