Rin Along ++ My Progress

Today, as part of the Rin Along co-hosted by Cindy and myself for the modern applique pattern Rin by Carolyn Friedlander, I am going to be sharing some of my progress on the blocks and Cindy is sharing some tips about applique including scissors, needles, and pins over on her blog.



I am making some blocks (as wall art and pillows) instead of a larger quilt.  My first block uses some Carolyn Friedlander fabrics:  Doe Crisscross in blue for the rings and Doe Breeze in sky for the background.  Here are some in progress pictures.




I have my first Rin block basted using wool batting (this is the first time I am using wool batting and I am enjoying how poofy it is) and I plan to hand quilt it along the lines in the background fabric.


I am enjoying seeing all of the Rin progress on Instagram #RinAlong, make sure to share yours.

    Love the fabrics you are using. I've used wool batting and absolutely loved quilting with it - I hope you do too!

    That background is perfect for this quilt! You've made me consider wool batting - need to look for some now.

    Love your fabrics and can't wait to see it quilted. I'll be interested in your hand quilting reviews of the wool batting.

    I like that you started with very iconic Carolyn Friedlander fabric. The blues look great together and in her pattern this way.

    Love the fabrics for this one! I like how the background has a stripe, but subtle. I am anxious to see your quilting with the wool batting. I've only used wool batting once.

    I love the fabrics you have chosen for your block. Following the designs in the background print for your quilting lines is a brilliant idea!

    I've seen a few of these on the go on Instagram, and it makes me want to hand appliqué again...maybe... Love your fabric choices.
