February's Quilt Doodles Designs block is out and its the tree. Now if you are in to teeny tiny you will love this block. Most of the blocks are one and a half inches square. Yes, small but a great challenge to better our quilting skills. I went scrappy but she has a two color tree.
This is January's block. Deciding on the eyes and nose has been difficult, but I have time.
Then last Sunday I came across this free pattern Lone Star baby quilt from Amy Smart at Diary of a Quilter and there's a great tutorial as well. Since I do so many philanthropy quilts from the group's stash, I came up with some bright colors for the blocks. Her pattern calls for a border, but since we pillowcase these quilts and I had a nice flannel for the back that was just this size, I omitted it. However, I'll add a border to the second one.
Actually, there are two patterns but they are similar so I just had to cut fabric for the other layout to show you. These quilts finish at about 40" perfect for not piecing the back.
Happy Super Bowl day. A great day to get some stitching done. Unless your husband has invited the neighbors in to watch the game. :(

Lots of fun blocks you've been creating...sweet!
ReplyDeleteI like your Quilt Doodle blocks and the star block. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I particularly like the tree. I'm impressed by the size of the pieces. And the plaid fabric really gives the tree a Christmas look. Good choice!
