You may recall that I decided 2023 was the year I wanted to learn to quilt. I grabbed the Basket Case pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew and Sandy Gervais's Hello Spring fabric and got started. Basket Case is a beginner friendly quilt pattern that uses jelly rolls.
Well, I've got all the pieces cut out and have 4 sets of blocks done. Only 34 more to make!
But, being me, I couldn't just work on one quilt at a time LOL I jumped in with both feet and am doing two block of the month quilts. The first is the one that is from Sherri McConnell and her daughter Chelsi Stratton from A Quilting Life. I've followed her blog for several years even though I am just now making my first quilt. I've used their fabric to sew clothes before. They have been doing these block of the month quilts for several years now. I've got all my blocks caught up for this. I'm using one of their older fabric lines called Clover Hollow.
The second block of the month quilt I am doing is from Corey Yoder at Coriander Quilts. Once again, I've followed her blog for years. I mean like YEARS LOL She designs fabric and quilts and leans toward scrappy designs. She gave me a faboulous tip on Facebook this week while I was working on making the fabric strip blocks. I've got half of the strip blocks done to make into half square triangles. Of course, I jumped ahead and made this month's block.
As mentioned previously, I love watching Kimberly Jolly of the Fat Quarter Shop. She hosted a Quilt Along (QAL) that is just wrapping up called Sewcialites 2. I ordered some adorable Christmas fabric to do this one. I'll probably get started on it over the weekend if Hubs works.
Until Next Time...
