This month for the Bella Skill Builder, we made two BIG blocks! It's so fun to see the larger units come together into these classic shapes.    My color palette keeps surprising me too - I'm really happy with the greens in these blocks. I'm really looking forward to stitching the last few blocks up [...]

Pineapple Blocks These Pineapple blocks were so fun to make, and I love the bright yellow that I selected to go in my quilt! Traditionally a Pineapple block is paper-pieced, however, with the Pineapple Trim Tool we are able to piece without the paper and square up as we go! If you haven't seen [...]

Week 10 This week was just a lot of fun! After "sashing" and trimming down 20-odd blocks, I ran out the solid white I had been consistently using - no problem though, I improvised! I found a couple white fabrics that were close enough, and dove deep into my scrap bin. I love [...]

Week 8 This week I saw the midpoint of my 100 days! I'm really enjoying the improv quilting project, and plan to work toward some quilt tops soon! I think I've been overwhelmed by the number of blocks whenever I get near them, so this week my goal is to sort blocks/units. [...]
