So I've been plugging away at this
quilt along all year, and I've done a not-so-bad job of keeping up. If you haven't seen them yet, here are my blocks for
January, February, and
March.
I find hand sewing to be my favorite method of "making," and EPP is highly addictive, so thanks, Katja, for such fun projects!
Without further ado, here are my April blocks:
Block 14: Willa, who also happens to be my entry into the Modern Quilt Guild fabric challenge:
 |
| Sashing Stash by Riley Blake with coordinating solids. |
 |
| Echo quilting in the center, FMQ in sashing. |
Block 17: Lorna
 |
| Michael Miller stripes, MM Cotton Couture solids |
 |
| Straight line quilting inside, FMQ in sashing |
Block 16: Louise
 |
| Fabric from my stash with MM Cotton Couture solids |
 |
| Spiral walking foot quilting inside, FMQ in sashing. |
Block 15: Lorna
 |
| Michael Miller Glitz with MM Cotton Couture Solids |
 |
| Straight line quilting inside, FMQ in sashing. |
 |
| All four April blocks playing together! |
This is my favorite part: showing the quilting on the back. It is miles from perfect, but I'm getting better every day. When this project is complete, it'll resemble a wholecloth quilt from the back! But I'm getting ahead of myself--I'm only a third of the way done!
 |
| Lots of walking foot love this month! |
Well, it feels good to have another month's worth of blocks under my belt. I've already gotten May's blocks pieced, so I've got some quilting to do!
 |
| The stack is growing! |
This time, I'm linking up to
Linky Tuesday and
Let's Bee Social for the very first time, so hopefully I'll make some new quilty friends! Until next time, God Bless!
I am loving your hexies. Very striking and I agree with your choice of machine quilting. I wanted to make these too but just haven't yet. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thanks! I'd love to see yours when you get started. Alas, my blocks for May are sitting in a pile, waiting to be quilted, but I'm sure I'll get them up here before too long...
