The Quilty Fun Sew Along - Week 9 - Quarter Square Triangles!!!...

Hello cute people…yes I'm still here:)

I have had several emails asking  me

 why I haven't been posting at my normal rate…

well let's just say I have been very busy with a new project

that I will be able to announce soon…

let's just say it involves another photo shoot here at my cottage next week!

YaY!!

But more on that later…

for now let's have some

 Quilty Fun!!

Today is already sew along week 9!

Hosting this week is the lovely 

Kerri from

Lovely Little Handmades

What a sweetie she is and what a sweet blog she has!

Click here to go visit her and get all of this weeks details…

and of course to see more of her cute blocks!

The quarter square triangles go in 3 places

 on the sampler quilt that we are making…

under the chubby chevron X blocks and 

around the bumble bee block along with 

some baby geese and 4-patch blocks….

you can also see a row of them 

underneath the cute cups:)

I have had some questions about how wide the sashings are

from those who are tempted to jump ahead …

the answer is that there are different sizes throughout…

so it will be best to wait until we are at a point

 when one of the side sections

or the center section can all be put together.

I hope you are all having Quilty Fun with the sew along…

I love seeing your photos on the

 flickr group 

and also on

Pinterest.

Keep up the good work play!!!

It's time to get back to the 

Quilty Fun Sew Along!

 to get all of the giveaway details!

I do love me some tree blocks!

I designed these blocks to go in between the houses

of my Town Square quilt in the

 Quilty Fun Book

They are fun to make and a great way to use

some of the fun greens that are in your scrappy stash:)

This side of the Quilty Fun Sampler is growing!!!...

It's fun to see everyones addition to the quilt weekly…

here on the quilty fun flickr page:)

Here's the sampler quilt before I added the outside borders…

I thought you might like to see it so that you can be

 thinking about which color and print that you will use for yours:)

Seeing it without the borders gives a good visual in 

deciding which color you might want to bring out.

This is a scrappy quilt with many colors to choose from ...

I chose to use aqua in the end because I felt that I had a lot of warm colors

and so a cool tone like a green or a blue would balance it out nicely:)

Of course we will talk more about this when it comes time…

just giving you something to think about

while you are having a 

quilty kind of day:)
