Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 3

Welcome back to the Perfect 10 quilt along with 

the Fat Quarter Shop.

These blocks are made with 10" layer cakes, from the book Perfect 10 and the Creative Grids Perfect 10 ruler.

They are quick and fun to make!

Week number 3 is brought to you by the "coffee" block.

The block takes two 10" squares and makes 

two mirror image blocks.

I'm using Lori Holt's Autumn Love fabric line for my blocks.

Next, we have the "cookie dough" block.

Cookie dough ice cream is one of my favorites,

 especially if it's Blue Bell ice cream!

Are you quilting along?

I hope so, these weekly blocks are very doable :)

All the information you need is on Fat Quarter Shop's blog,

 Jolly Jabber.

Follow these quilters and see what their cute blocks look like :)

Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of the Perfect 10 Sampler QAL!

This week, I made two Buttered Pecan blocks, 

doesn't that sound scrumptious?

This brown print from Autumn Love is one of my favorite prints from the fabric line.

The directions are great in the Perfect 10 quilt book.
I made two of these blocks, they're exactly the same!

I was a little more creative in taking this photo, 

it's the Coconut block.

My favorite color is red!

These blocks can be found in the Perfect 10 Quilts book at the Fat Quarter shop.
Their Perfect 10 Creative Grids ruler is "perfect" for cutting the layer cakes too!

Please take a look at these bloggers and see what their 
Buttered Pecan and Coconut blocks look like :)

Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 1

I'm sewing this Perfect 10 quilt for the 

Perfect 10 Fat Quarter Shop quilt along.

This is the first block, it's called "banana" block.

I thought it would be appropriate to use yellow fabric :)

I'm using Lori Holt's Autumn Love by Riley Blake.

The quilt is made using a layer cake.

I'll be using Cream Gunny Sack for the background 
and the red fabric from the same line, for the binding.

Of course, I'll be sewing with white Aurifil thread, my favorite.

This is the Birthday Cake block.

I decided to use pink, which is what I like my birthday cakes to be.

These are really easy blocks to sew.

This is the Perfect 10 quilt, pretty cute!

The blocks all have dessert names, which makes them very yummy.

Cubes Quilt quilt along

I made this Cubes quilt for the Fat Quarter Shop's quilt along.

This is the quilt top, I still have to machine quilt it :)

I love how it turned out!

I chose Tula Pink's All Star line of fabric.

All Stars is the favorite fabric prints from her Spirit Animal line.

Look at this cute squirrel!

A beautiful owl.

I really love this raccoon.

I never thought flies were pretty, but this one is!

The cutting instructions were very easy for this quilt.

The pattern calls for 18 fat quarters and 2 yards for the background.

This is the layout of one of the blocks, there are 12 of them.

The backing fabric that I chose is by Lila Tueller, and I think it's a perfect match!

I enjoyed machine quilting this quilt, I made swirls on the blocks and feathers in the sashing.

I love this little white church backdrop!

Here's a closeup of my machine quilting.

Here's a photo of the back of my quilt, but it's upside down.

Ooops!

I really enjoyed making this Cubes quilt.

It went together pretty quickly, 

considering it's made of cubes and rectangles.

Thanks Fat Quarter Shop for the opportunity to be in your Cubes quilt quilt along :)

Cobblestone Quilt for Fat Quarter Shop

This is the Cobblestone quilt that I made for Fat Quarter Shop, for the Fat Quarter Cobblestone Quilt Along!

I am so thrilled to be one of the participants!

This quilt was fun to make and really easy :)

I love the way the blocks show off the cute fabric.

The fabric is "Savannah", by Stacie Bloomfield (Gingiber) for Moda fabric.

There were two cute, whimsical animal panels that came with the fat quarter bundle, I just had to include them in the quilt.

I used a soft silver minky for the back.

I sewed interfacing to the animal prints, turned them inside out and then sewed them to the block with a machine blanket stitch.

You can see the appliqued animals a little better before it was quilted.

This quilt measures 63 l/2" X 80 1/2".

I'm so in love with the soft colors!

This quilt would be great for a girl or a boy :)

This is me, with my beautiful Cobblestone quilt.

Thanks Fat Quarter Shop, for the fun Cobblestone quilt along!

Snapshots QAL - kettle

This is block #3, Put the kettle on!

Bonnie from Cotton Way, chose this block to represent your favorite drink.

One of my favorites is Kombucha, have you ever tried it?

The Synergy brand in Gingerade and Gingerberry are my favorite flavors :)

Here's my kettle!

I am using all of Bonnie and Camille's fabrics for this quilt, but not much Daysail.

I had such a large collection of their fabric that I decided to use it instead of buying more :)

I'll just buy more of other lines, Ha ha!!!

These are the 3 blocks I've made so far...

Yes, I'm sticking to the red and aqua theme, one of my many favorite color combos!

The Snapshots QAL is a fundraiser to raise money for St. Jude's hospital.

A $5 donation is suggested, and the money goes to an incredible cause, helping sick children!
All of the information is on my Snapshots QAL board on Pinterest.
