Another broken spider's web block


I promised my sister I'd start a quilt for her. Since I loved the broken spider's web block so much, I decided to try another one, and used some patriotic fabrics I'd been saving for jubilee year quilt blocks.

Craftsy Block of the Month - Block 6 - Broken Spider Web


Another one I'll definitely do again. There are all kinds of cotton fabrics in here. Some Laura Ashley print that I bought to make my (now 7-year-old) baby boy a quilt and never did. Some scraps from my daughter's school dress. Offcuts from the fabric for my mum's quilt (still in progress). Tiny blue flowery fabric from my very favourite skirt ever....... This block is full of memories.

Craftsy Block of the Month - Block 5 - String Block


This block looked like a lot of hard work, and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. Actually, it's one of the easier ones, and I love it! I'm seriously thinking of making a whole quilt using this method. Perfect for using up tiny scraps of your favourite fabric.

Craftsy Block of the Month - Block 4


I've caught up! This is block 4. Made from two Hello Kitty fabrics and a mushroom fabric that I used to make H a spiral skirt last year, plus some blue and white heart fabric that I am planning to make her another skirt from.

Photo taken before I pressed the block.

This was the skirt the Kitty and mushroom fabrics were used for.

Craftsy Block of the Month - Block 3



This one is made from two pink fabrics that I used for little H's "Feliz" dress a while back, and some pale green cotton from an old duvet cover.

Craftsy Block of the Month - Block 2

This block is made from some fabric I am saving to make a dress for F.

Craftsy Block of the Month - Block 1

I've started another quilt! I signed up for the "Block of the Month" course at Craftsy.com. Today was the first chance I had to get started, so I've only done the first January block so far. Now I need to do another three blocks by the end of February to catch up.

Here's my first block. I'm not going to buy a FQ bundle especially to make this quilt. It will be made from fabrics that I already have leftover from old projects or ready for new ones. These two fabrics are for a dress for little H.
