Blue & White Sampler Quilt - Six Inch Blocks Complete

I have just finished the rest of the six inch quilt blocks for my Blue & White Sampler quilt!  I probably should have posted them in smaller batches, but I'm anxious to keep going.  I previously posted the first eight of the six inch blocks and now here are eleven more.

See each of the blocks below along with an updated layout of all of my Blue & White Sampler blocks so far.

Ashley's T-Shirt Quilt - Davidson College

My niece, Ashley, is graduating from college, so another quilt project has been completed!  I didn't want to give away the surprise, so you haven't seen this one in progress.  It's another custom, stained-glass, two-sided quilt with t-shirts on one side and college themed fabric on the other side, very similar to the UF Sigma Kappa quilt I made for Samantha several years ago.

La Passacaglia Quilt: More Progress

I have more progress to share on my La Passacaglia quilt top that I'm working on using the designs in the awesome book Millefiori Quilts by Willyne Hammerstein.  I am down to the partial rounds that go around the edges, so I feel like I'm getting close.  But, I keep reminding myself that when I got started I was just going to play around with this technique.  I'll get there before I know it.

Blue & White Sampler - Six Inch Blocks

As I mentioned in my last post, I have moved on to making the 6 inch blocks for the Blue & White Sampler quilt I have in progress.  It's very familiar territory, making smaller blocks, after all that time working on the Farmer's Wife quilt blocks!  That quilt, by the way, is still awaiting my attention, currently in strips rolled up on the shelf.

This is the first eight of the 6 inch blocks; Pineapple, Hunter Star, Amish Star, Rising Star, Star Burst, Center Nine Patch, Ohio Star, and Christmas Star.

Blue & White Sampler - Eight Inch Blocks Complete

I have finished all of the eight inch blocks for my blue & white sampler quilt! ...and the 10 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch and 20 inch blocks, for that matter.  Here are three more blocks and a picture of how they all look on my layout grid.

Kiss and Valentine: Blue & White Sampler Quilt Blocks

How appropriate that on the heals of Valentine's Day, I am posting my two latest Quilt Blocks for my Blue & White sampler quilt, Kiss Block and Valentine Block!  I really didn't plan it that way, so it's a nice coincidence.

Gifts for Friends - Coin Purses and Star Wars Bags

I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been busy!  This year, I made a few small items to give as gifts to some of my co-workers and friends.  It's always tough to come up with good ideas for holiday gifts, but everyone seemed to enjoy receiving something hand made.
