Sewing along

After a few weeks of pondering what to do with the fabric and a lack of motivation, I finally got inspired and did some sewing over the last week.
This 1st set of blocks for Buzz Cuts October was a quick sew. I immediately new that I wanted to use large pieces to keep the patterns as complete as possible. The blocks are 9.5" square and 6.5" x 9.5",
This was a fun one. September was my month for another virtual bee I am in and I also chose to have the participants make a string block. Unfortunately, I did not have enough to finish the 4th block (upper right corner). Strings are fun but do take me a bit of time to put together.
This block took me 4+ weeks to put together. I just could not figure out what I wanted to sew. The request was a Halloween block and we received a large assortment of Halloween fabrics. When it's all said and done, I really, really like the way this block came out.
Last but not least, yesterday I whipped up 4 blocks for Quilt Blocks for Everyone. We sew 2 blocks per month and I had not gotten September's done. So, a bit of determination and a few hours later, September and October are done and ready to post.

  1. I really like the hallowe'en square. Did you applique the bats on? It looks really good.

  2. Hello Sara,

    Thank you for visiting and leaving kind comment. I am glad I am able to visit you back and make your acquaintance!:)

    Your blocks are lovely!!!!

    Smocking can try a person's patience, but the sense of accomplishment once a garment is done outweighs the tediousness of the exercise! :)
