Gibbi's Challenge

Here is the pieced top for the Neighborhood Bee Challenge Quilt. We were each given 1/2 yard of the novelty fabric. The challenge was to use that fabric plus three others to make a 36" x 36" quilt. I had the yellow strips left over from one project and the white strips left over from another project. The mottled green came from my stash. Next step will be to construct the back from other coordinating fabrics from my stash, then quilt and bind.

Blue Heart Block

Here is an attempt at the block heart using some blue fabric......

Heart Blocks Using the Curved Piecing Technique

Here are two heart blocks made using the Pieced Cirves "circle" technique. Am using up some extra blue fabric before using the new red heart fabric for the Heart Walk Quilts. I'll have some more blue pillows for my bedroom.....

More Circle Blocks!!

Here are some more circle blocks sewn together for a nice start to a pillow.....

Blue Circles

Here is my first attempt at making circles using the Pieced Curves SO simple technique. The directions as simple as they appear where daunting to begin...so I just forged ahead and behold it worked!!!!! I am learning this technique in hopes of trying the heart technique so I can make another quilt for the Heart Walk. Will try a few more circles so I get that down pat. Once I feel comfy with that then I will try some hearts....in blue of course and make some pillows for my blue room.

Heart Walk Quilt

This quilt would be 41" x 54". It would take 1/2 yard each of 6 creams for the block backgrounds, and sashing strips and 3/8 yard each of 6 reds for the hearts. It would take and additional 1/4 for the posts. I did the layout quickly and bunched up the cream colors and the reds... obviously you would do your wonderful randomizing technique!

The block size is 11" x 11" finished (11.5" x 11.5" raw edge). The sashing strips are 2" x 11" finished. Posts are 2" x 2" finished.

It would take (4) strips of binding. If you make the binding strips 2.25" wide, you would need 1/4 yard of fabric. If you make the binding strips 2.5" wide, you would need 3/8 yard of fabric.

For the backing you will need about 1 and 5/8 yard fabric.

Yo, Love the Wine Tote!

What a great design. You are very clever! I'm sure your friend will love it. How did you get the idea to zigzag together on the machine?
