<br />
Last week I shared an older WIP (Work In Progress) of mine and I thought it would be fun to give you an update.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jG5sYEYf0H6GDpE36AtThUCJaxj4J7aBPZqUAfQkWKwG4GQWcBjzHXcHSOxgtXdoWCyAGjDqOCvhdS_SHW2SiJgYehb0yXhLsbLUcpGbVcsGlvhIvcOx5WtDahriCkmPZ39alDS6MIw/s1600/IMG_4677.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jG5sYEYf0H6GDpE36AtThUCJaxj4J7aBPZqUAfQkWKwG4GQWcBjzHXcHSOxgtXdoWCyAGjDqOCvhdS_SHW2SiJgYehb0yXhLsbLUcpGbVcsGlvhIvcOx5WtDahriCkmPZ39alDS6MIw/s400/IMG_4677.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

The air is getting cooler, I have the ingredients for pumpkin muffins on my shopping list, and the leaves on my neighbors tree are starting to change color (the leaves on my tree are stubbornly staying green). Surely, Fall is here, right? (Don't call me Shirley.)<br />

It seems like the perfect time to finish up this Hunter's Star quilt I started a while back. And by that I mean, two years ago. I know, I know! This year, though. This is the year I'm going to finish it! Or at least finish the top.<br />
<br />

<br />
FUN FACT: The fabric in that block came from my stash and it dates back to 2005! Do you have any really old fabric hanging out in your stash? Let me know!<br />

<br />
Earlier this week I started to lay out the blocks on my design wall. I have to say, I really love having a design wall. It's great to see how things will come together. Of course, a design bed or a design floor works well too! Use what you've got and what works best for you!<br />
<br />
I'm excited to see this one come together.<br />

<br />
Today feels like a good day for a catch up. I have been working on two projects at the same time and not really getting anywhere with either.<br />
<br />
The first is this dresden quilt made with gorgeous Sunkiss fabric by Tilda.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLeZWzlO0xrKR5XySfNHtEcGe3AudJBknYHLsB6EVoUuB69WAHOgEY8wtDm7tD_1f1bwW0AGAVsmuWACWKSCm-LHR7ctJlmeUAXOCqWeODmpnSOfI_Gm3PNgTvYG8PgbLXnwg9EQt20c4/s1600/123+quilt+Tilda+Sunkiss+Dresden.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLeZWzlO0xrKR5XySfNHtEcGe3AudJBknYHLsB6EVoUuB69WAHOgEY8wtDm7tD_1f1bwW0AGAVsmuWACWKSCm-LHR7ctJlmeUAXOCqWeODmpnSOfI_Gm3PNgTvYG8PgbLXnwg9EQt20c4/s400/123+quilt+Tilda+Sunkiss+Dresden.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can see, it's just a stack of dresdens, nothing even remotely resembling a quilt top. I normally cut out ALL my fabric at the beginning of a project. I didn't this time. Any guesses what happened? I stalled out. Lesson learned.<br />
<br />
The second project being put on hold is this one made from a beautiful batik layer cake called Blossom Batiks by Flaurie and Finch for RJR.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWIWeonoQF-CHx0GQ4_TOgDOxaCZBSOK9KHEYfRMBCtqALpDkZXOZOsxYeUv62XS9yUYdazVyQ4QVGF28LfOmKeG1_56aFRwjaA9fzslMgII_EqWwtrgdZNJuxndcJlcAAY4md1_IKlc/s1600/Blossom+Batiks+Layer+Cake+123+quilt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWIWeonoQF-CHx0GQ4_TOgDOxaCZBSOK9KHEYfRMBCtqALpDkZXOZOsxYeUv62XS9yUYdazVyQ4QVGF28LfOmKeG1_56aFRwjaA9fzslMgII_EqWwtrgdZNJuxndcJlcAAY4md1_IKlc/s400/Blossom+Batiks+Layer+Cake+123+quilt.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I made a bunch of blocks but I just can't decide on a layout. Here are the options.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9rch6airj8h7MRYdlYL-57fgqrYpgL7dp7_rEj87PSCJRLzHR6XOzylIhN1sFViQ5SdO0Qv4bFRGonVYtTjq8fTPYMcvDQld_2i8_QZxYx4Z3wGFY6-vUlLJ8EHimqjkedkOmjflCHnE/s1600/123+quilt+batik+layer+cake+options.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="945" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9rch6airj8h7MRYdlYL-57fgqrYpgL7dp7_rEj87PSCJRLzHR6XOzylIhN1sFViQ5SdO0Qv4bFRGonVYtTjq8fTPYMcvDQld_2i8_QZxYx4Z3wGFY6-vUlLJ8EHimqjkedkOmjflCHnE/s640/123+quilt+batik+layer+cake+options.png" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
A) I don't know the name of this pattern but it's like a mini Jacob's Ladder. If anyone knows, please tell me in the comments.<br />
B) This is the Jane's Ladder pattern from <a href="https://www.woodberryway.com/2018/03/janes-ladder-quilt-in-nest-by-lella.html">Woodberry Way</a>.<br />
C) This traditional Buckeye Beauty block was my original plan.<br />
D) Finally, there is Jewel Box pattern and I think it is my favorite of these variations.<br />
<br />
Decisions, decisions...<br />
<br />
So, it's time. I'm calling it. Both of these projects are headed for the WIP (work in progress) pile and I'm clearing off my workspace for something new. Well, actually, something old. I'm pulling out an older WIP with gorgeous Fall fabrics. Are you noticing a trend? Lots of WIPs and very few finishes.<br />
<br />

<br />
Last year, these fabrics all got cut out and turned into Hunter Star blocks.<br />

<br />
Summer is on it's last legs and it seems like the perfect time to revisit this project. Timing is everything, right?<br />
<br />

<br />
I have finally finished this flimsy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnX73R-XzMgbxKdViZHg78yPbDwHDnnas2MbTa-IMQ6QBOWiM91u3k0PYiykO4R9D4Iwo29YMP6aLb_OKqkZdcwYNNqTJDKBbHFBk45raLqI9BWou5KDER3pCwGfLKNgV61tebMqcFdc/s1600/123Quilt+Churn+Dash+Quilt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnX73R-XzMgbxKdViZHg78yPbDwHDnnas2MbTa-IMQ6QBOWiM91u3k0PYiykO4R9D4Iwo29YMP6aLb_OKqkZdcwYNNqTJDKBbHFBk45raLqI9BWou5KDER3pCwGfLKNgV61tebMqcFdc/s400/123Quilt+Churn+Dash+Quilt.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Sometimes quilt tops are fast to make and sometimes... sometimes they drag on and on. I've been working on this top here and there for months now. Not that this is a complex design or anything. Quite the opposite. This top could be put together in a day by a speedy and motivated quilter. I guess I was neither.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7E88kukXuqm-D6ms1E1qrA3aevHN5RiDtwxzSf2XVSr69-9mMmZ55wrH_D6HQ5m-Zqy37-qTWe1MOc95itGrOH7XT8QintsOarq57dYi9bGU9QMw_ZIgD8oHSAxo3f07ULz95t5rZpYQ/s1600/123quilt+Churn+Dash+Close+up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7E88kukXuqm-D6ms1E1qrA3aevHN5RiDtwxzSf2XVSr69-9mMmZ55wrH_D6HQ5m-Zqy37-qTWe1MOc95itGrOH7XT8QintsOarq57dYi9bGU9QMw_ZIgD8oHSAxo3f07ULz95t5rZpYQ/s400/123quilt+Churn+Dash+Close+up.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Really though, I had an initial vision for this quilt then things changed along the way. When that happens, I get bogged down in confusion and doubt. Originally, the legs and corners of each block were going to be made out of the same fabric. Something like this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju6yBPBcvYdQ_9PSTOWnxlnASi9LqrEvb5M70afWK2va6vwnbcvc9auukDjV3UuxZZIO7MtbIOhuoN0krD3JRdSsHo5rx-EhgAt-X3wXhgDUQHQAG2RGPt08ws61jg2P60y04F9AG54FE/s1600/layout+same+legs.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1275" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju6yBPBcvYdQ_9PSTOWnxlnASi9LqrEvb5M70afWK2va6vwnbcvc9auukDjV3UuxZZIO7MtbIOhuoN0krD3JRdSsHo5rx-EhgAt-X3wXhgDUQHQAG2RGPt08ws61jg2P60y04F9AG54FE/s320/layout+same+legs.png" width="255" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, on a whim, I tried the block with different fabrics for the legs and corners. And I liked it. Progress!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHuXZK_o3DyiqnkLes6eW3L0EGpZaQtfEa93yRqh1nXH2BUN6bXEoei2Pw2NuuUySWOByuuG7LacttTfjfQnPqltEv9xpY2bX5V8A_1r07lpX0lFvtwzrFcZQIbV1OxkvoyelU7vdMumo/s1600/Churn+Dash+Block+123quilt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHuXZK_o3DyiqnkLes6eW3L0EGpZaQtfEa93yRqh1nXH2BUN6bXEoei2Pw2NuuUySWOByuuG7LacttTfjfQnPqltEv9xpY2bX5V8A_1r07lpX0lFvtwzrFcZQIbV1OxkvoyelU7vdMumo/s320/Churn+Dash+Block+123quilt.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But then... After the blocks were made, I was suddenly less confident in my design choice. So, I put the blocks away for a while. They kept nagging at me though and, eventually, enough was enough. Sometimes you just have to do or don't. So, I did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I like it but I think I'll always wonder what it would look like if I went with my original idea. I don't have plans to quilt this one any time soon, so it will go on the pile of flimsy tops. For now, I'm happy it's done and I'm ready to take on new projects!<br />
<br />
========<br />
<br />
ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) ---<br />
<br />
Yesterday in my Instagram stories (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/123quilt/">IG handle: 123quilt</a>) I took a poll to determine if people like the "quilt swirl" or not. You know "the swirl." It seems that almost every quilter posts a swirly picture these days. Most of the time it's done because the quilter can't show the full top for whatever reason. They swirl the quilt, obscure the pattern, and give the sneakiest peek of the project. I get it, I really do. But do I like it? Meh. I feel like I'm supposed to like it. More often than not, though, it seems like a waste of a post.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwS5Zq2oTm5ReJelk_sU3EZiVTE1_5IAE4hTIwcDsPZJY58kukCfqFgvKdOjD7qfkGkIt0107FST8o_r3Zd0e9hsiqN6pZPXG6J7jVw1ZP1IYHrJOQ-XHojHKyHCaxOhyphenhyphenKaM9w6d6Wfos/s1600/123Quilt+Churn+Dash+Quilt+with+swirl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwS5Zq2oTm5ReJelk_sU3EZiVTE1_5IAE4hTIwcDsPZJY58kukCfqFgvKdOjD7qfkGkIt0107FST8o_r3Zd0e9hsiqN6pZPXG6J7jVw1ZP1IYHrJOQ-XHojHKyHCaxOhyphenhyphenKaM9w6d6Wfos/s400/123Quilt+Churn+Dash+Quilt+with+swirl.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Surprisingly, most of you feel the same way! About 2/3 of the people who responded to my poll did not like the swirl! Most people said they would rather clearly see the quilt than see a picture that doesn't really tell you much. So, now you know!<br />

<br />
Join me for a quick look at my sewing room makeover!<br />
<br />
I've always sewed wherever I could find the space; whether it was on the kitchen table, the dining room table, the computer desk, or even on the floor! Most of you can relate.<br />
<br />
I finally got a dedicated space to sew... BUT the room was seriously lacking. Lacking how? Well, here is the before picture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikrkjWdbvovu3Am4ZLvcoEx1hJcWo8ANw0YdtUn0TpKpE_CBstihvZT9yU1lsDuGyMP_PBcBMO4n-Mdku4aCvWo3ue9LRA0AvfGP5AJRVBeVp3TQJnkap_0gReMSWTZ237uYIlu-Ti_ag/s1600/IMG_5423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikrkjWdbvovu3Am4ZLvcoEx1hJcWo8ANw0YdtUn0TpKpE_CBstihvZT9yU1lsDuGyMP_PBcBMO4n-Mdku4aCvWo3ue9LRA0AvfGP5AJRVBeVp3TQJnkap_0gReMSWTZ237uYIlu-Ti_ag/s1600/IMG_5423.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Notice the lack of table. So even though I finally had a sewing space, I was still sewing on the dining room table! Please don't ask me how long this went on! (HUGE eye roll!)<br />
<br />
If I didn't sew in there, was it technically a sewing room? It was more like an ironing and fabric storage room. It was time for a table. Actually, it was past time. Way past time. So, I looked around, did some research, and found a great table for an affordable price from Walmart. While I was at it, I got a few bookshelves as well. Those storage bins just weren't cutting it any more.<br />
<br />
Here is my new and improved sewing room!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Huge improvement! The room is a good size (this is about 2/3 of it), so I have room to expand if I need to. I still have a lot of organizing to do, but that will come later. For now, I'm just pleased to actually be sewing in my sewing room.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's it for now. I have some sewing to go do!<br />

The color for April is BLUE and it was inspired by the flower called Glory of the Snow.<br />
<br />

<br />
So pretty and so blue! I knew I wanted to challenge myself with this color because I have lots of turquoise and navy blues in my stash but not very many true blues. I definitely had to dig around to find some fabric that was truly blue and I like what I came up with.<br />

Since this BOM challenge is all about color, naturally I made sure to use coordinating pins while sewing it together. ;)<br />

<br />
I think I've finally decided on my word of the year. You know, the one word that I think will motivate me throughout the year or help me to reflect on my goals. It's sort of like a mantra and a guiding principle rolled into one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-FMMYcjNGsNQ6gXqqL2-D6fLOddWmIxT31nsRKpAE-WgGEdi2ujFiolcz9Sru_b0Yuv-YBh-up5a4XketVpFBa4kdlG_7khYNB5iZHuSSGMZhJfsyPwNU1YYBQRedkkhypU9cKLh7SQ/s1600/2019+word+of+the+year.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-FMMYcjNGsNQ6gXqqL2-D6fLOddWmIxT31nsRKpAE-WgGEdi2ujFiolcz9Sru_b0Yuv-YBh-up5a4XketVpFBa4kdlG_7khYNB5iZHuSSGMZhJfsyPwNU1YYBQRedkkhypU9cKLh7SQ/s400/2019+word+of+the+year.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
WORK!<br />
<br />
That's my word for 2019! I usually start thinking about my word of the year in December so that I have time to really mull things over; time to go back and forth between words and find just the right one. This year I knew immediately that I wanted WORK to be my word.<br />
<br />
For me, it's a reminder to buckle down and get things down; to approach things with focus and determination. It's a reminder that you reap what you sow and I need to focus on sowing... or sewing. ;) Really though, it applies to more than just my quilting; it applies to everything in my life! If I want to have a great system for organizing all the paperwork that seems to accumulate (don't we all want that?!), then I have to put in the WORK! It's called paper"work" for a reason! If I want to feel healthier and stronger, then I have to WORK out! You get the idea.<br />
<br />
So yeah, that's my word for the year. Do you have a word for the year? If so, leave it in the comments; I'd love to hear it!<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm so happy that it finally feels like Fall here in the Carolinas. Summer felt like it lasted forever, then we had hurricane weather, and now, finally, the leaves are turning and there is a chill in the air. Of course, that means there will be lots and lots of leaves to pick up! That's not so fun but today I want to share with you my favorite kind of Fall leaf (the fabric kind)!<br />
<br />
The Maple Leaf quilt block!<br />

<br />
There are lots of leaf block patterns out there but this one from the <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> (FQS) is a fun, scrappy take on the block. The pattern is part of the FQS #classicandvintage series where they take classic patterns that we all know and love and remix them in fresh ways. Even though I only made one block, I love the look of the entire quilt.<br />

True to form, I didn't follow the pattern. Sometimes, I just can't help myself! I always justify it by telling myself that what I'm really doing is showing all you lovely people different options. Yeah... So, in this version of the quilt, I opted to keep the on point blocks square and I left off the borders. Really though, I am a firm believer in doing what works for you! Change sizes! Add/delete borders! Swap blocks! You do YOU! </div>

I used the Biscuits and Gravy fabric collection from Basic Grey Fabrics for Moda. I love, love, loved working with this collection. It's a color palette I don't usually go for but it made me happy every time I was using it. I hope this quilt will continue to bring me joy every time I see it. I quilted it with a basic serpentine stitch. That's the same I way I quilted <a href="https://123quilt.blogspot.com/2017/09/jolly-bar-jazz-fat-quarter-shop-quilt.html">this quilt</a> nearly a year ago, and I swore I wouldn't use it again because of how much that quilt shifted. But, that quilt has become one of the most comfy couch quilts I have and it's because of the quilting! So, I decided to try the serpentine stitch again; and I also used every basting pin I had in the house to keep the shifting to a minimum! Lol. I think it turned out great.</div>

Hey there! It's JUNE already and that means it's the time for the final block pattern in the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Clementine Quilt Along is a charity QAL hosted by <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> in partnership with Moda Fabrics and benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (<a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?fr_id=86522&pg=entry">donation link</a>). Every month, Jan. 2018 through June 2018, Fat Quarter Shop releases a new block for FREE but the catch is that they ask you to make a donation every time you download a block. It's a great way to support a great cause! All the info can be found on the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along</a> page.<br />
<br />
The June block is called Strawberry Star and I think it's my favorite of all the blocks!<br />

The more observant among you may have noticed that this block is used in the Clementine Quilt Along logo. How many of you just scrolled to the top of the post to check it out?<br />
<br />
It's almost like finding a Hidden Mickey. ;)<br />
<br />
Oh, it's the little things in life that amuse me. Anyway... you can see my previous blocks by clicking the following links:<br />

<br />
Also, every month I say that it's not to late to join in the fun because the blocks go together really fast, but... it's getting close to the end. I mean, this is the LAST block pattern to be released. So yeah, there's still time but it's not <i>I'll sew a little bit here and there time,</i> it's more like <i>I hope everyone likes pizza because I'm too busy sewing to cook time</i>.<br />

The Clementine Quilt Along is a charity project that is being hosted by the <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a>. Each month, for six months, they are releasing a free block pattern. Fat Quarter Shop is partnering with Moda Fabrics for this project and all proceeds will go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. So, they ask that if you download a block pattern that you make a donation (<a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?fr_id=86522&pg=entry">donation link</a>). It's a fun way to support a great cause! You can find more information on the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along</a> page.<br />

Hey guys! It's time for the reveal of the April block for the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along</a> hosted by <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a>!<br />

It's already month 4 of the quilt along! We are more than halfway through! It's not too late to join in though. The construction of the blocks is fairly quick so anybody who wants to quilt along will be caught up in no time. Also, the quilt along is for a great cause - supporting St. Jude Children's Hospital. The blocks are free to download but donations would be appreciated (<a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?fr_id=86522&pg=entry">donation link</a>).<br />
<br />
This month's block is called Coconut Cross.<br />

I've really been enjoying these block names! Every month I look forward to learning the name of the new block. You can see the previous blocks I've made (and their names) <a href="https://123quilt.blogspot.com/2018/01/clementine-quilt-along-january.html">here</a>, <a href="https://123quilt.blogspot.com/2018/02/clementine-quilt-along-february.html">here</a>, and <a href="https://123quilt.blogspot.com/2018/03/clementine-quilt-along-march.html">here</a>.<br />

I'm using Biscuits and Gravy fabric by Basic Grey for Moda and I loooove how these fabrics look in these blocks. So, all in all, I'm really pleased with how my blocks are coming out and I can't wait for next month!<br />

I can't believe we are already three months in to the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along</a>! For those of you who may be wondering what that is, it is a charity quilt along hosted by <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> (partnering with Moda Fabrics) and benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The blocks patterns are free every month but they do ask that you give a small donation for each download (<a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?fr_id=86522&pg=entry">donation link</a>).<br />
<br />
This month's block is called Peaches & Plenty!<br />

Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
Do you ever feel the need... the need for speed? Just Kidding. What I meant to say was do you ever feel the need to make a really quick quilt? Sometimes I just need to make something quick to feel like I've accomplished something, anything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Enter the Shortcut Quilt Series from <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> (FQS)! It's exactly what it sounds like, a series of QUICK quilt patterns. Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in the quilt along for the newest FQS Shortcut Series pattern and I jumped at the chance. The new pattern is called Jelly Roll Ripples and it's so fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
I actually deviated slightly from the pattern and left off the borders... I'm so rebellious. Really though, my aim was for a quick project AND the size without the borders (50" x 70") was just right, so it just made sense for me to 86 the borders. I do feel a bit bad though that I didn't follow the pattern to a "T". After all, this is a quilt along to showcase a pattern. On the other hand, I can say that I'm highlighting the versatility of the pattern. Yeah, let's go with that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I hemmed and hawed a bit about which fabric to use but in the end I went with this gorgeous jelly roll of Anemone Batiks by Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. Who loves precuts but hates the mess from the pinked edges? Me! Right here. This girl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For years I've been using a lint roller along the edges of my precuts to clean up most of the mess. If you already know this trick then just ignore me but if you don't know, now you do! I keep a dedicated lint roller in my sewing room. It's kind of sad but I use that one more than the one in my laundry room.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here's another tip for you. If you don't have a large design wall, or in my case are just trying to be quick about it, you can use the scraps from your blocks to arrange where you want your blocks to go. I used my scraps and played around with them on the floor until I was happy with the layout.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrGPKw3GqTQVdOBzIFdnqLNFtHccWYfyMwZdozOncYJxAtfHtVLxgt_9eD_lZ5dut4-3KnQbis_mXbLFY8BVqK-NK4Hn2aL2Q2WjJFyzNalRI3LZbNJdD0zRwvrYBHPlybSrVZtbRsKpA/s1600/IMG_4105.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrGPKw3GqTQVdOBzIFdnqLNFtHccWYfyMwZdozOncYJxAtfHtVLxgt_9eD_lZ5dut4-3KnQbis_mXbLFY8BVqK-NK4Hn2aL2Q2WjJFyzNalRI3LZbNJdD0zRwvrYBHPlybSrVZtbRsKpA/s400/IMG_4105.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
After that, I chain pieced everything. After all, speed is the name of the game. I have to laugh because everything about this quilt was FAST.<br />
<br />
Basting: fast. Quilting: fast. Binding: faaaaassssst!<br />
<br />
Please tell me you read that using a voice like Joey eating Rachel's trifle.<br />

The February block is called Broken Berries. Love it! I'm starting to notice a theme with these block names. Check out my <a href="http://123quilt.blogspot.com/2018/01/clementine-quilt-along-january.html">last post</a> for the name of January's block. I wonder what next month will be named? Hmmm...<br />
<br />
This one was a lot of fun to piece together. Don't I say that about everything?! I guess I just really love piecing and sewing.<br />

Funny story about this block. I had seen several variations of it recently and I was thinking about drafting up a quilt pattern with this block as the focus. Then BAM! The universe gave me an opportunity to make the block anyway! I love it when stuff like that happens. As it happens, I got my fix for this one and have since moved on to other quilty ideas - so no pattern for this one in the near future. Anyone else have a short quilting attention span?<br />
<br />
Anyway... back to the block at hand. This gem of a block is available for download on the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along page</a>. It's free but they do ask that you make a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (<a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?fr_id=86522&pg=entry">donation link</a>).<br />
<br />
Let me know if you are quilting along! I'd love to see your progress and cheer you on along the way!<br />

Hello all and welcome to the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/clementine-quilt-along.html">Clementine Quilt Along</a>! What's that? Huh? Say what?...<br />
<br />
The Clementine Quilt Along is <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop's</a> 2018 charity quilt along! Every month from January to July 2018, Fat Quarter Shop will release one quilt block pattern to make the Clementine Quilt. The block patterns will be available on the 25th of every month and are free to download. They only ask for a suggested donation of $5 for every pattern you download, with all proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (<a href="http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?fr_id=86522&pg=entry">donation link</a>). This year Fat Quarter Shop is partnering with Moda Fabrics to match up to $20,000 of donations! Isn't that amazing?! PLUS, at the end of the quilt along, Fat Quarter Shop will be auctioning off their Clementine quilt, and all of the auction proceeds will be donated to St. Jude as well!<br />

I'm thrilled to be one of the bloggers participating in the quilt along this year! Here is my January block. It's called Watermelon Wheel!<br />

As much as I love the fabric from the quilt kit, I decided to use this gorgeous Biscuits and Gravy fabric by Basic Grey for Moda.<br />

Love it! Seriously, I couldn't be happier with my fabric choice for this quilt. I already have all my fabric combos picked out for the rest of the quilt along. Here they are, in order of course, lol.<br />

I. Can't. Wait. for next month's block. In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied with seeing everyone else's January block. Let me know if you are quilting along so I can see your work! Also, be sure to check out all the bloggers who are quilting along!<br />

<br />
I'm back with another fun quilt along project with the <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> (FQS)! Their new <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=double+nine+patch">Double Nine Patch quilt</a> is part of their Classic and Vintage series. It truly has a classic flair that I think everyone will love. The pattern is available to purchase as a downloadable PDF file, OR you can purchase the kit and make the exact quilt you see here!<br />

<br />
The thing that I love about classic quilt patterns is that you can make them as classic or as modern as you want depending on the fabrics you use. OR... you can make them with holiday fabric if a major holiday is coming up. Any guesses which route I took?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yep, I went with holiday fabric. :) When the FQS approached the quilt along quilters with this project, they gave us the choice to make just one block or a whole quilt. I opted to make the block, but I turned it into this festive wall hanging. I used scraps from this <a href="https://123quilt.blogspot.com/2017/09/national-sew-jelly-roll-day.html">Christmas quilt</a> I made earlier this year. Or, I guess that would be last year. I'm still adjusting to the new year, lol. Anyway, yay for using scraps! PLUS, now I have some matching holiday decor.<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun making this wall hanging but I think my favorite part is the embellishment I added. I put a border on the block and then added a fun piece of natural twine that I had lying around. I had just enough twine to frame the block and add a bow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCmoaV50fS4l9e1gF-l3YVGTAHQlYjNTWM_Rfx5td8EvgcV94_-DdD-8CTGFmVD_IQ7q7OnXUxatjjOnMwjCZRc0MJDUygG_keeo9PHyb1hnCtj7uirmwBxpvlZIiDp-Fa_H0Gi7nmoE/s1600/IMG_3899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCmoaV50fS4l9e1gF-l3YVGTAHQlYjNTWM_Rfx5td8EvgcV94_-DdD-8CTGFmVD_IQ7q7OnXUxatjjOnMwjCZRc0MJDUygG_keeo9PHyb1hnCtj7uirmwBxpvlZIiDp-Fa_H0Gi7nmoE/s640/IMG_3899.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
I used a large zig-zag stitch to attach the twine. Then I used hot glue to add a few jingle bells to the bow tails. I just realized as I'm typing this why exactly I love this project so much. It's because every bit of it was made with stuff I already had! It's a great feeling to use the resources you have, especially when they all come together so well. "I love it when a plan comes together."<br />
<br />
There you have it! I highly recommend this pattern, especially if you are looking to make a quick, classic quilt. Also, be sure to check out the FQS blog <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/">The Jolly Jabber</a> to see some of the other projects made using this awesome pattern!<br />

I'm SO happy I teamed up with <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> for another quilt along. This is the new <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/jolly-braid-tote-bag-downloadable-pdf-sewing-pattern">Jolly Braid Tote Bag</a>, and it's just gorgeous!<br />
<br />
Want to know a secret? I've never made a bag before. So if I can do it, you can too! I was really nervous to tackle this project, but I pressed on. The instructions were so clear and easy to follow, and this project was a joy to sew!<br />
<br />

<br />
I knew immediately that I wanted to use <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/modern-background-luster-jolly-bar">Modern Background Luster by Zen Chic</a> for this bag. I purchased a Jolly Bar (this being a Jolly Bar specific pattern), extra yardage, and a few extras, and I was ready to go!<br />
<br />

<br />
I can't tell you enough how gorgeous this fabric is! During construction of the bag, I kept stopping just to admire it. Lol.<br />

<br />
I deviated slightly from the pattern with the handles. The pattern called for a scrappy handle, but I had just enough yardage to make my handles match my side pieces. I made an executive decision and went with it!<br />

I'm back with another Fat Quarter Shop quilt along quilt!<br />

<br />
This is a new pattern by the <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> called <a href="https://static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/JollyBarJazz-Pattern.pdf">Jolly Bar Jazz</a> and it is part of their Shortcut Quilt Series. It's super quick, super easy! There is even a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSoyyuL5pKk">Jolly Bar Jazz YouTube video</a> to help you with the basic construction. All you need is two jolly bars, some background yardage, and a 6 1/2" square ruler.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I used Little Miss Sunshine by Lella Boutique and I'm so happy I did! I think this fabric looks great with the Jolly Bar Jazz pattern.<br />
<br />

<br />
A few words about basting...<br />
<br />
I don't love it.<br />
<br />
Show me a person who loves basting, and I'll show you a unicorn. I had an epiphany though. After I finished basting this quilt I realized that even though I don't love basting, I LOVE handling a freshly basted quilt. It's like the quilt comes alive in that moment. It's not just a quilt top and some batting anymore, but all the components have come together to make something greater than themselves. That, my friends, is pretty cool.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to quilt this one with a serpentine stitch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIpefAN_fPjGidxTvYxEV5Da9h79tL_DgwrD6r1EcDFR-1AaAhKB6tUTvxobuTDdaTGoflSlSBOCpHJWnH_0sxOBM4mt4HiRh_rC1NcWXDXY1IPeuoQyDSIAq0w4hHj3_RO_sNCRR3Is/s1600/IMG_3706.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIpefAN_fPjGidxTvYxEV5Da9h79tL_DgwrD6r1EcDFR-1AaAhKB6tUTvxobuTDdaTGoflSlSBOCpHJWnH_0sxOBM4mt4HiRh_rC1NcWXDXY1IPeuoQyDSIAq0w4hHj3_RO_sNCRR3Is/s640/IMG_3706.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
So, yeah. Serpentine stitch. I love you, and I hate you. I knew that this particular stitch has been known to cause "shift," that annoying tendency for a quilt top to move as it's being quilted. "Shift, schmift," I said. "I'll take my chances," I said. "Can't be that bad," I said. Hahahaha. Seriously though, I baste really well and I didn't think it'd be a problem.<br />
<br />
It was.<br />
<br />
For that reason I'm thinking about naming this quilt "Shift Happens" or maybe "Trapezoids Are Cool Too."<br />
<br />
But, oh! Serpentine stitch you are so pretty. I love the texture it created. Even more than that, I love how it looks. I used white thread and navy backing, and the contrast is oh so good!<br />
<br />

<br />
You know what I LOVE? I love "National" days. Seriously. National Pizza Day. National Doughnut Day. National Cheesecake Day. Um... Those are all food related. (I really like food.)<br />
<br />
But wait! <a href="http://blog.modafabrics.com/">Moda Fabrics</a> has designated the 3rd Saturday of every September as National Sew A Jelly Roll Day!!! (#NSJRD) I swear I can hear legions of quilters cheering and hootin' and hollerin' every time I say that! So, now I have a new favorite "National" day. :) You can find out more info by checking out the website <a href="http://www.projectjellyroll.com/">Project Jelly Roll</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This year I teamed up with <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a> to celebrate NSAJRD. I don't know if ya'll know this but FQS has tons of free quilt patterns on their website. Just go to their <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/free-quilt-patterns">Free Quilt Patterns</a> page. For NSAJRD, I chose to make their free <a href="https://static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/JellyRollSlice-CompletePattern.pdf">Jelly Roll Slice</a> pattern. Because really, how else do you celebrate National Sew A Jelly Roll Day other than to make a jelly roll quilt??<br />

You guys! This was such a fun, easy, and QUICK project to make! I couldn't believe how fast this top came together. I started with a gorgeous jelly roll of North Woods by Kate Spain (kindly provided by Fat Quarter Shop.)<br />

It seems like before I could even say "National Sew A Jelly Roll Day" three times fast I had my strip sets sewn and cut up, or sliced and diced as I like to say. ;)<br />

Then I put together my Jelly Roll blocks and my Slice blocks...<br />

Then, like Emeril, BAM! I had a quilt top. (Lots of food references today.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So yeah, lightening fast.<br />
<br />
I was feeling adventurous so I decided to try out a new binding tutorial. Sarah over at <a href="http://www.sarahgoerquilts.com/">Sarah Goer Quilts</a> recently posted this great <a href="http://www.sarahgoerquilts.com/2017/09/10/machine-bind-your-quilts-like-a-pro/">tutorial for machine binding quilts</a>. Sarah's method is pretty similar to mine but there were enough differences to keep me on my toes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuTwMW0MtHFXZNcVaUDfwRI2reA_1njtOYslvUK5rTWq0vNplcUw5ZfO2XEnuanskjhvw54e4gA67fgqnCMDIf6ttuJvjZzjLKruXu8UH_6WA7Ju-2SARywqVUB46zAu5L15JBMrMumVE/s1600/IMG_3662+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1322" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuTwMW0MtHFXZNcVaUDfwRI2reA_1njtOYslvUK5rTWq0vNplcUw5ZfO2XEnuanskjhvw54e4gA67fgqnCMDIf6ttuJvjZzjLKruXu8UH_6WA7Ju-2SARywqVUB46zAu5L15JBMrMumVE/s640/IMG_3662+-+Copy.JPG" width="528" /></a></div>
<br />
I really love how it turned out. Isn't that striped binding so fun?! I want to bind everything with stripes now. Lol.<br />
<br />
Oh! Bonus! Because I used a holiday themed jelly roll, I've already got a holiday quilt for this year! Yaaassss!<br />
<br />
So there you have it! My jelly roll quilt for National Sew A Jelly Roll Day! I highly recommend that you check out the <a href="https://blog.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop Blog</a> to see the other projects from the NSAJRD quilt along. FYI, I've seen some sneak peeks and they look awesome!<br />

I really like this one! Then again, blue and yellow is my favorite color combo for fabric. :) This photo is from the host of CPF, <a href="https://laurelpoppyandpine.wordpress.com/">Lorinda over at Laurel, Poppy and Pine</a>. I'm pretty sure she had an amazing time taking this photo. Also, I'm just a little bit jealous. I would love to go for a hot air balloon ride!<br />

Color Play Friday (CPF) is a fun, weekly challenge hosted by <a href="https://laurelpoppyandpine.wordpress.com/">Lorinda from Laurel, Poppy and Pine</a>.

Fun Fact: This is the first time fabric has been featured in a Color Play Friday photo!<br />
<br />
Here is what I came up with.<br />

<br />
The fabric in the EPP project is all from the manufacturer Cotton + Steel so I thought it would be fun to completely avoid that fabric in my bundle. As I started choosing fabrics to go with my palette, I kept pulling Art Gallery fabrics. Somewhere along the way I thought it would be a great idea to pull ONLY Art Gallery fabrics. Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking... Well, this is the result of that bit of craziness. I think it works.<br />

<br />
I'm not gonna lie, I STRUGGLED with this one! It's always really hard for me to find just the right green fabrics. I don't know if its because not a lot of designers use green in their collections or if it's because I just have some mental block with the color. I should point out that green is actually my favorite color. Anyway... I guess I kinda sorta like my palette and bundle. This one will have to grow on me.<br />

And that means it's Color Play Friday!<br />
<br />
Color Play Friday (CPF) is a weekly challenge hosted by Lorinda from <a href="https://laurelpoppyandpine.wordpress.com/">Laurel, Poppy and Pine</a>. Each week she provides an inspiration photograph and then the CPF participants create a color palette and a fabric bundle based on the photo. It's a lot of fun and everyone is welcome to play along! You can find out more info by clicking the CPF button on my sidebar.<br />
<br />
The photo this week is actually one of mine. I took this on a road trip nearly ten years ago. I wasn't planning on visiting Napa Valley but the notion took hold and I made a detour. I discovered this great winery that was giving free tours and, really, how could I pass that up?!<br />

This photo was taken in the wine cellar. I really loved the way the light was playing on the barrels, giving everything a warm glow. (The warm glow feeling may have been enhanced by the free tasting samples they were giving out. Just saying...)<br />

As much as I love the photo, those warm orange-y yellows are so not my go to colors. This CPF definitely took me out of my comfort zone. But you know what? That's what makes CPF so much fun. Every week is something new with it's own unique challenge. So there you have it - my best attempt at a warm orange/yellow/brown palette and bundle.<br />

I'm glad you stopped by to see what color shenanigans I'm up to this week.<br />
<br />
Color Play Friday (CPF) is a weekly challenge hosted by Lorinda from <a href="https://laurelpoppyandpine.wordpress.com/">Laurel, Poppy and Pine</a> (and it's a way for me to exercise my color skills). Each week Lorinda provides an inspiration photograph and then the CPF participants create a color palette and a fabric bundle based on the photo. It's a lot of fun and it's open to everyone. You can get more info on how to play along by clicking the button on my sidebar.<br />
<br />
This week's photo has me longing for sunny beach days with a cold drink in my hand and my toes in the sand.<br />

This one was definitely a labor of love. I had a really hard time finding fabrics in those bright colors. Sometimes the perfect fabric just jumps out at you and sometimes you have to search and search. In the end it usually works out though and I'm happy with what I came up with.</div>

<br />
Color Play Friday (CPF) is a fun way to play with color and fabric. Each week Lorinda from <a href="https://laurelpoppyandpine.wordpress.com/">Laurel, Poppy and Pine</a> posts an inspiration photo and then the CPF participants create a color palette and fabric bundle based on the photo. It's a great exercise to hone your skills and it's open to everyone! You can learn more about how to play along by clicking the CPF button on my sidebar.<br />
<br />
The photo for this week is this gorgeous shot of a city skyline at night.<br />
