First Friday of February

January flew by!  I'm starting to see signs of longer days as the sun is setting later.  My sewing room has been pretty busy.  I've been staying organized using my Quilters Planner.  Each week has been inspired by the quilt blocks featured in the month of January.  I've completed three so far, but got side tracked by a new project, my first Swoon quilt.

The Not So Dramatic Life

This last block I finished in January was a challenge.  I'm not confident in paper piecing yet, but Cassandra's directions were great.  So if you haven't tried this one yet, dive in.  The end result is worth it!

There are more January blocks in my planner, but who can resist a Swoon-a-long when February is here?  Thimble Blossoms had a special on this pattern recently, and I've always wanted to try it!

Block #3

I love these super-sized quilt blocks! They are all over instagram if you are interested in seeing these pretty blocks in abundance!

Thank you for spending some time on my blog!

This Friday finish is a baby quilt featuring Sarah Jane's fabric from her line, Wee Wander.  

This quilt is inspired by the free pattern from Freshly Handmade.

I recently purchased some new labels from JJ Labels!

Love how they turned out.  You can customize your own labels on her website.  I did try using the website, Spoonflower to create labels, but found their editing tools difficult to use.  Has anyone else experienced this?  

As for a Friday start, I've recently joined the Summer Sampler 2016 quilt along!  You can join any time here at Freshly Pieced.

You receive one pdf per week featuring a block from 10 different designers and 7 bloggers.  You can join anytime!

Here are my first two blocks...

 Funny how you pick up on mistakes after you take a pic?

Anyone notice this in the block above?  

I'm using left over fabric from Miss Kate and Day Sail.

Have a great weekend!
