Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 6

Welcome to week 6 of the Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, 

from Fat Quarter Shop.

This is my Lemon Sorbet block, I made 2 of them.

The book shows you exactly how to divide up the 10" square,

 and how to easily cut it with your Perfect 10 ruler.

This is my Mint Chocolate Chip block,

so easy to sew with the large half square triangles.

I may or may not have snacked on the chocolate while sewing...

I think that one of the most difficult things about this quilt, is figuring out how to photograph two blocks at once!

The Perfect 10 quilt book and ruler would make an excellent Christmas gift for the quilter in your life :)

Here's a photo of the quilt.

Mine will look similar, except it will have autumn colors.

Here's the page that tells you which week each block will be sewn.

If you go to Jolly Jabber, Fat Quarter Shop's blog every week, they will have a link to a pdf that will tell you how many of each block to make, and how many of each piece to cut.

The book tells you the measurements and much, much more!

 Follow along with my fellow quilters!

Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along, week 5

Hello and welcome to Week 5 of the Perfect 10 Sampler QAL, sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop.

This is the Dutch Chocolate block.

It's big, it measures 18"X18", all made with half square triangles.

 Next up is the French Vanilla block, the quilt calls for 4 of them.

I love the floral print from Lori Holt's Autumn Love line.

There are four blocks which call for four 10" squares.

The French Vanilla block measures 10 l/2" square.

 It's going to be fun to incorporate these blocks into the Perfect 10 Sampler quilt, figuring out which color goes where!

To make this quilt, you will need the Perfect 10 quilt book, and the Perfect 10 ruler, 

which makes cutting the blocks so easy and effortless.

You can find these supplies at Fat Quarter Shop here and here.

This is the schedule for the quilt along.

When you go to Fat Quarter Shop's blog, there will be a link each week that takes you to a pdf like this and it will tell you how many pieces of the week's block you need to make, etc.

You will still need the Perfect 10 book though.

 Please check out all the other quilters who are quilting along :)

Maple Leaf quilt block

Welcome to the Maple Leaf block quilt along!

You can get the block pattern free from the Fat Quarter shop here.

The block was really easy, just half square triangles sewn together.

It sewed together pretty quickly, which is always a good thing!

I wanted to sew four blocks, each in a vivid fall color.

I haven't enjoyed a beautiful fall season since I left Canada.

My favorite fall leaf color is red, Canada's national symbol.

My blocks are all sewn, I just need to sew them together.

Now I have a cute little table topper, it's all machine quilted.

Here's the fabric I chose for the back.

This was one of the first fabrics I bought when I began quilting, before I even had a fabric stash.

My little queen squirrel looks cute on my Maple Leaf table topper.

There's a fat quarter shop video tutorial on you tube for the block.

If you would like to purchase the quilt pattern, it's only $5.95 and you can buy it here at the Fat Quarter Shop.

Hope you enjoyed seeing my photos of the Maple Leaf block and thanks for visiting my blog :)

A Very Vintage Christmas Sew Along

I absolutely love this book!!!

It's like all of my childhood memories came alive!

Yes, I'm vintage, and all the blocks in this quilt remind me of my childhood :)

Here's my little dolly, isn't she lovely?

She was so easy to put together.

I couldn't decide which photo to use!

I sewed little Dolly in a 12" size and turned her into a placemat for one of my grand daughters :)

I embroidered a little face on her and she came alive :)

I just love my new dolly placemat!

It's awesome, with layouts for 16 quilts!

Week 4 brings you the "Cookies 'n Cream" block.

Next, we have the "cotton candy" block.

I didn't have any cotton candy for my photo shoot, so I used some of my favorite pink dishes :)

Here are the full fabric requirements to make 

the Perfect 10 Sampler quilt.

You will need both the Perfect 10 Book and Ruler to make this sampler so grab yours at the Fat Quarter Shop!

Every week of our Perfect 10 Sampler quilt along

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 :)
