BROKEN DISHES
I am making a quilt! I found a great quilt "Sampler Sewalong" that I found on a blog called www.whitneysews.com
So far I have made 9 of 12 quilt blocks and I am anxiously awaiting the video tutorials for the remaining blocks. After that, I presume there will be instructions for how to finish all remaining steps for the quilt.
I was visiting my mom and dad and sister in Oregon earlier in May. One day, my mom, sister, and I went fabric shopping. I did not intend to shop for fabric for the quilt but I found this great charcoal gray fabric with the flowers and hearts. It just really spoke to me! I found a number of fat quarters in shades of green, peach, gray, and aqua that I thought coordinated nicely with the fabric. I also selected a white fabric that has tiny flecks of metallic silver for just a little bling.
I love trying out the various quilt blocks. I can see my quilt piecing skills improving each and every block and I am thrilled about that. For my quilt piecing, I purchased a special foot for my sewing machine. It's a quarter inch foot that has a guard on it that helps one sew consistent 1/4 inch seams. It's not fool proof but I find this foot to be well worth the expense. It was just under $20.00.

There is one more block called CRYSTAL STAR. I guess I neglected to take a photo of that block all by itself.
