Design Wall Monday

These blocks are at the top of my design wall.  This week I started two self-made challenges.  You can read more about them by clicking on the respective links.  The drunkard's path block is one challenge and it's the first of twelve blocks.  The two middle blocks are the results of starting the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks challenge.  The last block is a Mountain Top block I use for chain piecing.  I decided to make another block instead of making HSTs.  I now have 10 blocks.

I'm still in the process of cutting scraps and decided Sunday to cut pieces for "Tidbits on the Vine", a free pattern from Henry Glass & Co.  I made the background scrappy to use some of the brown scraps I have that never seem to get used.  Instead of using the flowers and leaves from the pattern, I decided to use the flowers I made with my GO! cutter.  The leaves I also cut with the cutter using the designer dies by Ricky Tims.  I cut the dies and then trimmed off sections to use for leaves.  What a great way to use the dies and I hadn't thought of that prior to the purchase.
 In addition, my Scrap Quilting Club met on Saturday and I posted a separate blog entry for that.  Another post I uploaded was for the Strip Tease Tutorial.  Visit Patchwork Times to view more design walls.

Enjoy the holiday week.  I hope I get my three challenge blocks completed for the week with all the fun.

  7. Are you using Sanibel for your Quiltmaker's blocks? The colors are so saturated and yummy. Good stitching happening at your place! Love the Tidbits on the Vine quilt bunches.
