Calgary Modern Quilt Guild project

Hi everyone, it's that time of the week again, Work In Progress Wednesday! 

I joined the Calgary Modern Quilt guild a few months ago and we have decided to work on a project together.  We are following the instructions found here at Modern Monday and hope to make 8 blocks per month.  The plan is to have all 64 blocks made by October so we can plan a sew-in for November and put the quilts together for next Christmas...now that's planning ahead!!

In keeping with the Christmas theme, I'm using my 12 days of Christmas fabric by Kate Spain.
 
Block 1 - easy, peasy!  Each block is 6 1/2 inches, with seam allowance.


Block 2 - my fave so far and my DD's...I think she's hinted she might need a quilt using this block.

A slight variation on Block 3.
That's all I have for now, must get back to the textbooks!

Cheers,
Mary

  3. To all quilters;

    I am cleaning up my house (we sold it and have to move out by May 31) and found a trunk full of bits and pieces of colorful suede and leather from my fashion design days. The colors are vibrant, and there is much that could be used. I would be happy to donate it to any group of quilters in Calgary who would put it to good use. Please let me know. You can reach me at ahester@ucalgary.ca

    Cheers
    Annette
