Think this’ll be an Easter cactus!

 I ordered this on line 2-3 years ago, was listed as a yellow Christmas cactus. In reality it is a salmon color! 

Block 5 of Diatom

 I’m slowly running out of purple fabrics for this quilt along which is 12 blocks. I may have enough for the 6th block and could make a lap quilt. Then for the rest of the blocks use a different group of fabrics for another lap size  This is block 6 before the frame part.  This is the most difficult block I can remember making…matching all the seams and preserving points.  Some parts I redid 4-5 times and still wasn’t satisfied!   Yvonne has certainly taught me to strive for more preciseness!  Not sure that’s a good thing!

And this all five completed blocks. I wish I hadn’t used such a dark purple on block 1. I may redo it

Another Kimberly

 I love making this quilt and since I’ve made one or two already, it goes together quickly!

Jelly roll twist

 This was a free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop, using one jelly roll.  I was able to make two kid size quilts. I still have many of these 2.5” strips some part of a purchased bundle and others from parts …eventually I want to make another Round The World quilt

Zoe part 2

 It bothered me that I hadn’t made the correct number of squares so I made 4 more and added borders. Now it’s ready for quilting!

Zoe part 3

 All my blocks are squared up and ready to layout and sew. As I was following the diagram in the instructions I came up 4 short. Looking around for those 4 blocks was a waste of time for as I checked my phone photos I see I only had 20 blocks not 24. I swear I used 12 light and 12 dark fabrics…but I guess not. So my top is sewn together and now need to add some borders

And look at the 14 inches of snow we got! Snowed in!

Diatom block 4

I’m not sure if this is right or not but I’m not ripping out anything!  I’ve seen two variations so maybe it’s correct!
