Quilt in progress for Daddy.

12/31/16

Today I was working on an old Stack-n-Whack. Last week I put together 4 blocks. Last night and today I put together another 3. I have 2 more blocks that I have to cut more squares for the background. The pinwheel fabric I cut about 14 years ago.

This month I cut the background white-on-white fabric. I have more Stack-n-Whack blocks cut out that I will add to this I am going put a yellow border on all the blocks and quilt each block then put them all together with #QAYGmethod from Leah Day's freemotionquilting.blogspot.com

I also have some Lemoyne Star blocks to put together. I want this quilt to be large enough to cover Daddy.

Mother's 10 minute block quilt in progress

 This is 24 blocks from 10-minute blocks. Mom put them together this year. I quilted them per her instructions.

I will be cutting the binding for putting the blocks together. I will have MOM watch the videos for putting them together from Leah Day. I basted the outside edge of each block to keep the fabric from folding back or flipping up when we go to bind them together in #QAYGmethod. The 24 blocks will be set 4 across x 6 down.

Grandmother (my mom) is making quilts.

 My mom started quilting this year. She comes to my studio to work with me on the weekends.

She was working from "10 Minute Blocks" . She decided she liked the green and the yellow. She sewed 24 of these large blocks.

Here we have the blocks as I was basting them to be ready for quilting.

Here is the back of one of them after I quilted it.

This is the front of the block.
