Week 2 Quilt Along & New Quilt

Here are my blocks for week 2 of the quilt along. I went and picked up four more prints for my quilt. I was afraid I was going to have way too much brown in the quilt. So this week I made all my blocks without the main print fabrics. They turnd out pretty cute. My favorite fabric is the dark turquois in the bottom right block.




Because it's the weekend, my husband is gone, all the laundry and dishes are done, and my baby is napping, I started a new quilt! I am all ready in love with it! The color scheme was centered around Christian. I have never sewn anything for him and he reminds me all the time. :) We love to wrap up in blankets and watch movies together, so this quilt will be for US. I showed him the fabric lines I was interested in and he helped pick out the color scheme. I still have 10 more prints that will be going into the quilt. I am so excited for this one!
Here are some finished blocks.







Once I get all the individual blocks done, you put three blocks together to make one block. Here are two examples. You twist and turn them so they are all going different directions.




Can't wait to get more done on this one. I am definitely accumulating quilt tops. I still don't dare to try quilting them on my own yet.

One A Day Quilt Along

I joined in on my first quilt-a-long with Crazymomquilts. I am so excited! While I was home I got these 13 prints for the quilt. (THANKS MOM!) I chose really bright fun fabric. I was second guessing myself the second she started cutting my selection. But I think the quilt will be fun! The finished size of the quilt is 66"x 90". I am thinking I am going to turn mine into two smaller quits because of my fabric choice. We will see once I get going further.
We are suppose to sew one block a day, but it is easier for me to get mine done in one nap! Here are my blocks for the week:





This is my favorite block of the week!







I have lots of updating to do but it will have to wait until my Mothers Day projects are done!
