I love your economy bock, itās really cute. I got a fill-a-yard from spoonflower today, so I think Iāll make a couple too. There are some really nice pieces to fussy cut.
And I finally decided to stop faffing and making do with rulers in a different measuring system (or none at all-homemade) I found these on Amazon UK and actually they werenāt too expensive. They arrived today.
And O.M.G having the proper ruler a 6.5" ruler to trim a block to 6.5" my next purchase will be a rotating cutting mat-then as we say here, Iāll be on the pigs back.
@Whistlefish, really like the little pillow you created with the heart BOM (and apparently, so did your 3 year old ).
@MistressJennie, I too like your choice of different fabric for the inside of your heart block. The blues against the black give it a tranquil feel. Thank you for sharing the links to the quilt block swap. It looks like it was a really fun swap!
@marionberries, yet another cozy looking quilt! I havenāt quilted with flannel yet, but it seems like it would be warm and comforting!
@Cindy, I like the variety of pinks in your flamingo!
@AIMR, Iām looking forward to making that block. I like how your the directionality of your background fabric.
@Edel, what a fun way to use the fill a block yardage!
Hahaā¦funnily enough my daughter has decided itās SO HERS. I made it into a little quilted ornament for her and itās hanging in her room. Iāll probably have to make a second one for her sister.
I was thinking the same thing! February just arrived yesterday, but it brought multiple blocks along with it! I love seeing all the different variations!

I sized to a 9 inch block and I am going to have sashing in between. But I calculated the HST wrong. And I had used the last scrap of one of the fabrics. So I scrounged and found another scrap to use. Redo the heart. Add the sides and done.
And I modified the mistake blockā¦now itās actually matches the pattern better! I like them both, happy hearts.
I am also amazed at how many February BOM are already done! Itās only the second, people! Youāre all so fast! XD And they all look great, too, and so drastically different with the different patterns/colors.
That being said, Iām really not much of a heart person myself, so I think Iāll try the economy block or something for myself this month. It wonāt be a BOM but it will go with my first block so I can try to make a whole quilt with the yearās BOMs! I think I need more greens and purplesā¦

Wow. These blocks are amazingā¦I feel overwhelmed by all of your precision.
But I love looking at pretty things. So thanks for all the inspo.
I had fun making this block. But I did modify the bottom point by making a flying goose block rather than the half square triangles. My mom I think got the clock fabric in a swap or maybe while shopping. I just know that I snatched it up and saved it for something fun.
