P.Q. 16.3 3 Common blocks - Googlie Fun


Project Quilting 16.3 is all about Common Blocks. At first I was not sure what I was going to do. I wanted to stick to my idea of making P.Q. pieces for charity and so with limited time this week I was thinking ...no way!

Then I remembered this little panel quilt. It actually was a yard so double what you see here. I decided to cut it narrow and then add some common blocks to fill it out. 


I pulled out some colors that I had close by (with out digging in my stash) and made some blocks to add. 


Friendship star was first. Easy block but every time I make one I mess it up. ha
I did play a bit with the fabric placement. 


Simple 9 patch.  Played with the fabrics here too.


Lastly the simple 4 patch border. 

And the crazy thing is it is finished on Wed. I think it is true the more you have to do in a week the more you get done. I don't want to push that thought though.

I want to share this cool art exhibition my friend Jen went to see last Saturday.

This piece is from Floraviscera by Maggy Rozycki Hiltner

The black background is an overdyed quilt. This one is a grandmothers flower garden. Then all the floral and snake part is embroidery. So amazing! 


This piece had a pile of skulls skillfully enhanced with embroidery but look at this overdyed quilt!!!!! So crazy cool.

Your quilt is looking soi fun and pretty. Yes, I also usually turn a square the wrong way on the Friendship Star. It is a cute and fun quilt block though.
Hi Kris, what a lovely finish. It's great when we can come up with something that is simple and yet works so well. Congrats on a great finish.
