What I SEWED on Spring Break April 2009
Posted By drsao on April 12, 2009
I did a bit of sewing over Spring Break this past week!
WANNA SEE? OK – some of it will be revealed. First here are the things that I did that I have no pictures for. You will just have to believe me on this! Is this mysterious, or what!
I worked on my IF I WERE A FLOWER CHALLENGE QUILT for Country Piecemakers Quilt Guild, but that won’t be revealed until the middle of May! Sara quilted it for me and I am doing the HAPPY LOVE MY QUILT DANCE! Also, because it is a surprise I can’t show the Brown Bag Exchange blocks that I made for Country Piecemakers.
I am also plugging away at the Powhatan Quilter’s Mystery Quilt and Bonnie K. Hunter’s Double Delight Quilt – no NEW PICTURES – I posted some examples earlier on my blog though! Oh yes, and I did some applique work on my Cherries, Chickens and Checks Quilt – pictures to come soon.
NOW…..here is what I did take pictures of! I finished the top and back of my Quilters Corners Quilt – a BOM from Quilter’s Corner from April 2008 to March 2009!

And I did my monthly assignments for April for the Moda Selvages Quilt….oops another cat jumped into the picture and I didn’t notice until now – oh well, you get the picture!

And I made the first block of the new BOM CHAIN OF FOOLS from Quilter’s Corner ……..In case you don’t recognize it it is because I changed the colors so that I could use 30’s fabrics. The pattern and the suggested fabrics (black, white, red, and turquoise) are available at QC now. In case you are gasping because my flying geese blocks HAVE NO POINTS – let me explain….they are NOT FLYING GEESE BLOCKS AT ALL….they are a new creation – “sao’s flying geese wanna bes”…..haven’t we all created something new once in awhile? 🙂

The last thing that I did on spring break was to make FOUR house blocks for an exchange with friends – I still have some applique pieces to iron on – but other than that, it is a GO! The pattern is called MAIN STREET HOUSES – I like it a lot.

Wow, have you been busy! How do you do it all? I love your 4OT quilt. How big are the 9-patches? I some leftover ones that might look good with that setting.
The 4 OT (a Miss Rosie Pattern) patches finish at 12″ 🙂
OH NO! Now that you’ve done your house blocks I better get to work on mine. I thought as long as your weren’t done I still had time, guess my time’s up! They look great!
