Quilt-along 2021

oh, I always forget about other quilt projects besides the BOM!

I, AIMR, submit this for my small project. I made all the hexies and then quilted around them. Not counting the hexies, it was a quick and fun project!

My aunt is planning to do that. I picked up a kit with some solids at the local discount fabric store. The colors are a bit brighter. I might mix in some prints that match color-wise to the kit, but I’m not going to be super fussy about matching the original colors. There are some things I might do (she has a color arrangement towards the middle, and the center block is green), but I’m putting my own spin on it, mostly.

It’s a new month and a new quarter! That means a new prompt and a new challenge!

October’s prompt - selfless giving - Quilt something for someone else! Whether it be a set of placemats for a hostess gift, a quilted play mat for your favorite little person, or a quilt for a friend going through a tough time, use your skills and talents to make something to show someone you care!

Quarterly challenge - Create something ‘seasonal.’ Which season? Any season! It can be a Halloween project, something Christmassy, or something bright and springy, whatever your heart desires.

My FM stippling is coming along. Thanks to some useful tips from @MistressJennie I need more practice to even out my stitch length. But I’m pretty happy with this.


I’ve stippled the blocks on this improv quilt, and did straight lines to echo the blocks on the white. Just needs binding

Well done my Friend!

@Edel that quilt is looking good!

Vacation and Halloween have put a crunch on my BOM activity. I’m working with 9" squares, so I’ll have to modify the October block, I really don’t want to face smaller HST. Call me chicken!

You make piecing look easy. It’s going to be a lovely quilt.

I finally finished the FMQ on this quilt! It wasn’t my first choice for thread color or design, but I’m not about to argue the finer points of design with my five year old. He gets what he wants.
