My Americana Quilt top done!!

I finally managed to finish my version of the Americana Quilt!

Size: 72'' x 56''

The center is made of single blocks from the QAL.
The Snail Trail border is made of blocks I received in a Block Swap.
I really like how it turned out, thanks for the fun QAL!!!

The Big Star!

And here is my Big Star!
It was challenging and it took some time, but I like it despite the imperfections!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

A star (not the big one)

This was a fun and easy block! I decided to start with this for this month because I have a ton of projects to work on for the holidays so I am not sure I will be able to get to the Big Star by the end of the month... but I will make it for sure, just need more time!

In the meantime, I enjoyed this block!

Fun school block!

For this month, I picked the school block because I wanted to use some fun fabric and that seemed to be the perfect block to use them up!

Very fun and easy block,

I am looking forward to next month patterns!

Bird house with bird!

I really enjoyed this little block! I may make more than one for my quilt because it's super cute!
But for now, this is the block!

Looking forward to next month block!!

Americana QAL: first block done

Hello everyone! 

This is my first time joining a QAL like this! I am very excited!

I am a person that cannot follow the rules, I have to put my own twist in everything... so even if I decided to join, I won't make the row quilt, but I will set the block in some other ways (don't know how yet), but I wanted to use this QAL as an excuse to use up some orphan blocks I had in my closet for quite a while and never found a project for them... until now!

So I set the first blocks in a "square" setting and my block turned up like this!

I was so excited to finish it up, that I chopped few points here and there... but I submitted my block to the careful inspection of my fellow sewing helper (Pumpkin) that, after some consideration said:

 "Yes, the block is just great as it is!
It makes a great little blanket,
now let me continue my nap" :)

Looking forward to see all your wonderful and inspiring creations!!
