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.

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

  5. 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.
