Scrappy Winged Square block

 In 2022, I joined the Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild's Sol Bee.

I designed my block, cut and measured all the pieces, and wrote up a pattern.  I gave them out at our June meeting.  I had some Sarah Jane's "Children at Play" fabric which was over 10 years old.  I was saving it for a special project.

I tried to use what I had, and I was successful!  I had some pale yellow for the sashing, and both of the outer borders are also Children at Play.

I was going to make a scrappy sashing out of 2 1/2" squares, but I thought it would make the blocks disappear.

The center squares of all of the blocks are Sarah Jane fabric.

That line that Sarah Jane created so many years ago, is one of my all time favorites!  I still have a lot to make at least two more quilts!

This is my favorite type of fabric.  I call it "little girl" fabric.

The pinks, blues, yellows and low volume fabrics are all from my scraps. It's comical when you use scraps for a quilt and your scrap bin looks exactly the same!

This is the block that I made.  I love the deer!  

Now that the Jolly Bar 4 quilt along is over, I'll be posting on Monday mornings again.

Thank you so much for following me!

Jolly Bar 4 Sampler Finish!

I loved this quilt along, and I love my new quilt! It will be perfect for Christmas next year, I love the Holly Jolly fabric! 

I was able to choose the pretty poinsettia fabric for the back.  It's from the Holly Jolly line.

I'm in love with the ,machine quilting.  My friend Pam from Sweet Pz in Gilbert, Arizona, quilted it.  Feathers and swirls.

Christmas colors, reds, pinks and greens. My favorite!

I bound the quilt in a cute red gingham.  

A  big thank you to Fat Quarter Shop for all the inspiration.

Thanks for following along, I really appreciate it.

Jolly Bar 4 QAL, Week Eight

This is the Primrose block.  From the beginning, I knew I would use a Santa print in this block because the pieces are large.  This block measures 18 l/2" square.. 

This is the Shoofly Pie block. It measures 16 l/2" square.  There are quite a few large blocks in this quilt.

This is the last week for the blocks.  Next week I'll show you the quilt reveal ❤️ I've loved this quilt along.  All of the blocks were very easy to make and it was just plain fun choosing all the prints for each block.  A big thank you to the Fat Quarter Shop for hosting this quilt along.  

Jolly Bar 4 QAL, Week Seven

 This is the Festoon block.  I would like to design a quilt, just so I could name the blocks....or the quilt. This block has quite a scrappy look.  

This is the Double Dutch block.  Did you ever play double dutch with cup ropes?  I used to be really good at it, lol!

One more week to go!

Jolly Bar 4 QAL, Week Six

 This is the Illumination block. It's very colorful with all the candy canes!  I love the look of red and pink together :)

This is the Zinnia block, I love it!  

I'm really looking forward to seeing all these pretty blocks in the quilt.

Jolly Bar 4 QAL, Week Five

This is the Blueprint block, the largest one.  It measures 27 1/2" square. This block called for some extra fabric (the pink candy cane fabric), because the trim is larger than a Jolly Bar.  Normally, I would have used more vibrant fabric in this block, but there is only so much selection.  I had to be creative!

This is the Stardust block. It's very simple or easy.

jolly Bar 4 QAL, Week Four

This Jolly Bar quilt along is really fun!  I've never worked with Jolly Bars before.  For this Mosaic block, I used the same print in each of the four color ways. I'm curious to see how it goes with the availability of prints towards the end.  I'm just working with 5" X 10" pieces of fabric, so there probably won't be much left towards the end of the blocks. This quilt calls for two Jolly Bars.

 This is the Nutcracker block. I'm being creative with my fabric selections, meaning that there are only so many pieces left.

 I've got some blocks sewn together so you can get an idea as to what the quilt will look like.
