Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Three!!

 

Hello peeps and happy Monday!

It's already time 

for week three in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

And I'm having sew much fun!!

Are you ready to add 

three more blocks this week?

This week I worked 

from two of my books...

For the 12" Block I made my 

Cozy Star Block on page 24 

of my book Vintage Christmas.

I added my Bee Backgrounds Penmanship 

print into this block and 

used my Farm Girl Vintage gingham:)

As usual I'll be using it 

a lot because it works so well!

I made two 6" blocks from my 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book.

New Baby Quilt Block is on page 103

and

Starry Nights Block is on page 126.

I'm not sure if you have been

 watching my Sew Your Stash Series

 tutorials on my YouTube Channel...

 but you may find them very helpful 

as I show my tips and tricks 

on making my blocks accurately

 when small pieces are involved.

I seriously love how my 

Red Sampler Blocks 

are looking together:)

By the time I'm finished 

I will have made 

20 - 12" Blocks and 

30 - 6" blocks 

for the Farm Girl Vintage 2 Sampler 

quilt setting that I am using.

 But just remember...

like I told you

 in my week one blog post:

 If you are not comfortable with 

making both 6" and 12" blocks 

you can always make all of 

your blocks in my 12"size and

 then use any of the settings

 in my books for 12" blocks only:)

"You're the BOSS of your own quilt!"

I really enjoy the process of 

choosing red fabrics for each block.

Most of the fabrics are my designs 

but I throw in others here and there

 because I have those in my stash too!

 I sure do love using the

 fabrics in my scrappy stash baskets...

and because of this sew along

I've taken the opportunity

to add a few more

 red prints to my baskets:)

I had an idea to show you 

a picture or two from the

 different photo shoots from my books.

All of the photography 

takes place here in my home.

Kimberly and the crew from 

It's Sew Emma come here to 

Salt Lake for a week 

and take as many pictures as they can

 while I style the photos:)

This one above is from my 

first Farm Girl Vintage Book

 and I loved it so much 

that I chose it for the back cover:)

I'm sure that you can 

figure out all on your own 

that this one is from my 

Vintage Christmas Book.

It's my Christmas Eve Quilt

 on page 168 and it's one 

that I put on my bed 

each year for Christmas.

It's made from 

25 - of my 12" Blocks.

This is just one of many 

12" Block setting options in my books

 and I hope all of these settings 

provide you with inspiration

for a very long time:)

Well that's it for today folks!

I've shown you my blocks...

now it's time for you to show me yours!

Go ahead and use the hashtag

I'll meet you right back here 

next week with 3 more blocks!
