Modern quilt blocks

Hi everyone!

As promised, here is the next installment in the Modern Monday quilt project....

My fave, for this batch...

Confession time: I totally goofed when making this block, I made the turquoise blocks too small because they are supposed to form the pinwheel pattern (see the instructions here), but I really like the results...it's kinda fun, :-)

I am really lovin' that green fabric...but I only have one fat quarter and it's almost all gone!

Churn dash, wonky style.


So here are 7 of my first 8 blocks.  I'm not making the skull block, so I'll have to wing it for block number 8.


I'm linking up with The Needle and Thread Network and Freshly Pieced.

Enjoy!

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
