Two Tutorials to Share

A friend on facebook posted a blog (badskirt) that had a tutorial for this block.  Love the scrappiness of it.  Here is the address for the tutorial:  http://badskirt.blogspot.com/   The block was very easy to make.

Some of you have asked for the directions for the above block that uses 5" charm  squares.  The address for the tutorial is: http://quiltingstitchingandsewon.blogspot.com/    She gives precise directions in her tutorial.  It is on her April 16th post


Remember this?  It was the first 12" quilt I made for the Something from Nothing Swap.  I decided to keep it and do another.  I signed up for the Free Motion Quilt Challenge and decided to quilt it.

Not sure if you can see but in the corners I did a loopy zig zag to fill in the square.

At the V's I did 3 leaves.  It is not the best job but it is my first attempt at free motion quilting on a project other than a practice piece.  Figured the more I try the better I will get.

I mailed out my Something From Nothing quilt and a little something to some special friends.  So watch your mailbox.

Weather is wacky lately.  Woke up to fog, then rain, then a beautiful sun and now overcast again.  Hope it doesn't rain the Tigers play tonight.

Wishing you a quilty day.

Hugs, Cat
