Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Twelve!!

Hello Red Sampler Makers!

Welcome to week twelve in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

As promised last week...

I have four 12" Red Sampler Blocks

 for you today:)

This week I worked 

from three of my books...

And the first book that

 I used is Vintage Christmas.

I made my 12"  

Stained Glass Block on page 86.

If you have not made this block before...

when you look at the directions

 you will see that I use my 

easy shortcut method to make each of the

9 quarter square triangles 

that make up the block.

Because we are sewing scrappy 

you will end up with enough to make 2 blocks:)

Of course I just need one for my quilt 

but the other block would make a 

cute pillow or you could give the extra 

to a friend who is also

 doing this quilt along...

and that's exactly what I did!

I used my 4 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

when trimming up the 

quarter square triangles...

easy peasy!

12" Stained Glass Block

Next up we have my 

Mama's Applique Block 

from page 85 of my book

Farm Girl Vintage 2

I used a few prints from my new fabric collection called STITCH 

that will be here 

in just a few short weeks!

12" Mama's Applique Block

For the next 12" block this week

I made my Wool Star Block 

from page 107

of my Vintage Christmas Book

12" Wool Star Block

And last for this week 

but not least is the 12" 

Cool Threads Block made from page 20

of my book Farm Girl Vintage.

12" Cool Threads Block

I hope you enjoy making the

four 12" Red Sampler Blocks

 for this week:)

I think they were a lot of fun to sew...

and I had a great time 

choosing the fabrics for each one:)

And so now with these new blocks 

this is what we have so far...

14 - 12" Red Sampler Blocks

23 - 6" Red Sampler Blocks

As a reminder...

for the setting that I'm using

(cover quilt from Farm Girl Vintage 2)

 I need 20 - 12" Blocks

and 

30 - 6" Blocks

For the next week post 

 I'm going to be making  

four more 12" Blocks:)

Here's a few photos of my 

Farm Girl Tractor Quilt 

from my Farm Girl Vintage Book.

The quilt is called PLOW DAY and 

I'm thinking it's an appropriate photo 

for this week while we 

"PLOW" through making our 

Red Sampler Blocks!

I'll meet you right back here 

next week with more Red Sampler fun:)

Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Eleven!!

Hello again!

Welcome to week eleven in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

I have another 12" block 

and two 6" blocks for you!

This week I worked 

from just one of my books...

For the 12" Block I made my 

Chicken Foot Block on page 18 

of my book Farm Girl Vintage.

12" Chicken Foot Block

So last week...

I made my 6" Pinwheels Block 

from page 56

of my Farm Girl Vintage Book

and this week 

I made a variation of that block

by just using the 12" block

cutting instructions to make 

one 6" pinwheel.

6" Pinwheel Block

For the remaining 6" 

block for this week

I made my Farm Fresh Flowers Block 

from page 26

of my Farm Girl Vintage Book

6" Farm Fresh Flowers 

I hope you enjoy making the

three new Red Sampler Blocks

 for this week:)

So far my weekly format 

has pretty much been the same...

a 12" block and two 6" blocks.

The exception is  

Week Seven where I did 

three 6" blocks.

And this is what we have so far...

10 - 12" Red Sampler Blocks

23 - 6" Red Sampler Blocks

As a reminder...

for the setting that I'm using

(cover quilt from Farm Girl Vintage 2)

 I need 20 - 12" Blocks

and 

30 - 6" Blocks

So for the next three weeks 

 I'm going to be making  

the ten - 12" Blocks that I need.

If I have time I may be throwing

in a few 6" blocks too.

 That way I'll have all the blocks sewn 

in the remaining weeks

of this quilt along.

This one goes until the end of July:)

Of course that only means 

that is when I will have 

my blocks sewn and posted here for you

so that I can prepare 

for my next sew along!

This quilt along is definitely NOT 

a race or a competition...

So you of course can take 

however long you need!!

Remember that...

"YOU! Are the boss of your own quilt:)"

 

I'll show this picture again...

because I am absolutely over the moon

 with how all of my Red Sampler Blocks 

that I have made up to this point

 are looking all together 

on the design wall in my sewing room:)

It's just sew exciting!!

P.S. I do have a tutorial on my 

YouTube Channel (Lori Holt)

about how to make my super cute 

and easy peasy Scalloped Bunting

that hangs above my design wall.

CLICK HERE

for that tutorial:)

They are really fun to make and 

make any room cute and cozy!

I'm showing you

 these two photos 

from Farm Girl Vintage

because that's the book 

that we are using for this week's 

Red Sampler Blocks...

And also this one from my

Spelling Bee Book

because I love that so many of you

 from all over the globe 

have joined me in this quilt along!!

And then finally...

I threw in this quirky photo

 of our Toby because he always has to

 get in on every photo shoot! 

LOL

Okay!...

I'll meet you right back here 

next week with three 

  12" Red Sampler Blocks for you:)
