The X Echo
I actually completed this block a week ago at a quilting retreat, but it’s been a busy week and I’ve been struggling to catch up on my blogging. So, I’ll […]
The WB Frog
The design at the base of this advanced difficulty triangle makes me think of a frog getting ready to jump. As I was preparing to make this block, I was thinking […]
The Not-So-Savage Beast
I’ve heard this block is a beast … but I took it on anyways. Once I’d finished using each fabric at least once, I was kind of at a loss for which […]
The Shiny New Tools
I’ve agreed to teach a half-day hand piecing class at my guild’s day camp in a couple of months. I’ve taught hand quilting before, and while that was somewhat nerve-wracking, […]
The Robot Rabbit
I’m not sure what this block pattern is supposed to be, but every time I look at it, I see a rabbit-shaped robot, so that’s what I’ve been calling it. […]

Totally by accident, I didn’t repeat any fabrics for the first twenty-five blocks or so of this project (well, except for the red that’s used in every block, obviously). At […]
The Crazypants Block
I’m just past the 1/3 mark of the 225 blocks in this quilt, so it seemed like an excellent time to tackle my first corner block. I know, one block before […]
The Big Difficulty
I think this may be the most difficult block I’ve done yet. As I planned which fabrics to use for which blocks, I tried to match the scale of the […]
The Loner
I chose this block in part because I noticed that I’d only completed one other block in row F, and I didn’t want Block F5 to feel alone any longer. The […]
