1. Swoon
I made this one lonely Swoon block and unknown number of years ago (maybe 3-4 years?). After making one, I never felt the need to make another. The one block was 24" square (finished) which I felt was too small to do much with so it has been sitting in my closet. I am planning on adding 5" borders on all sides to bring it up to about 34" square which is a more usable size. I will be donating the finished quilt through my local modern quilt guild to be a comfort quilt for a child in the Greenville Hospital System that has been removed from their home.
2. Midnight Mystery
Similar to the Swoon block, I made this one Midnight Mystery block (24" square finished) when I was testing the Midnight Mystery Quilt instructions. This block will get the same border treatment as the Swoon block and will also become a donated comfort quilt.
3. Taste the Rainbow
I am working on an all paper pieced design for my guild challenge. The challenge was to use the Birds in the Air block in modern way to make a quilt that was less than 36" square. I finally finished piecing all of the sections and am now working on putting the quilt together. I will be adding some hand quilting to this quilt which should be fun.
So that is what I am working on, what is on your cutting table today?

Upsizing your 24" blocks to make them quilts to donate is a lovely and generous idea. I'm sure the quilts will be really appreciated. And I am super excited to see your Birds in the Air project progress!
ReplyDeleteAdding borders to the two blocks to increase the size is the perfect idea. Hopefully those beautiful fabrics will brighten the recipient's day. I love what you have done with the Birds in the Air block! Can't wait to see it all together :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a perfect way to finish two lovely Quilts for donation. Your birds blocks are so clever. Will it be a circular rainbow of birds? Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love those rainbow blocks! The background fabric adds an extra layer to the design! They will make an awesome quilt!
ReplyDeleteTwo youngsters will be very blessed to receive your small quilts. What a great idea! Yum, that rainbow quilt is going to be fantabulous! That's one I'm looking forward to seeing upon completion, for sure! Enjoy the rest of your quilty week! ~karen
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! I've never made a swoon block!
ReplyDeleteI love the swoon block, although I find it so difficult to use patterned fabric. Today I am catching up with my Bee commitments, I really hate that I am so late this month but they will both be posted tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like the look of the Midnight Mystery block.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a swoon block I wish I had jumped on that bandwagon and made the quilt. Your's is so pretty. Nice that it will be put to good use. I love those flying geese. Nice, really nice work.
ReplyDeleteLove the modern birds in the air blocks you made. These will make a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks will make great donation quilts. Love your birds in the air blocks. It's going to be a beautiful mini.
ReplyDeleteOhh I can't wait to see all those projects finished! You make amazing quilts
