I have 2 baby quilts to whip up - I made 16 of these blocks in 3 hours - and it was fun. Will use this pattern again. To see what others are working on - check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times
Wowzer! That is a bright, cheerful group of fabrics! Did you use a special curved piecing foot and special templates with these blocks that helped them go together so quickly? They look nicely done. Judy
Makes 6 servings - 1/2 cup each 2 cups quick cooking brown rice 1/2 cup fat free milk 3 TBS sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 TBS butter Cook the rice according to package directions, using about 1/4 more water than called for. Stir in the milk, sugar, and vanilla and cook 1 minute over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
I am so happy to have something to share this week. About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times . I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion . I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile. What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks. Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?
Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt. I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these. Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color. Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border .... eit
