Quilting

On my list of things to learn, quilting has always been at the top.  When I learned that Craftsy was offering a free block of the month class, I quickly joined up!  I figured this could be a great way to start off the new year and complete a goal.  The class started in January, and continues throughout the entire year.  In the class, the wonderful instructor, Amy Gibson from Stitchery Dickory Dock, guides you through the process of two quilt blocks a month.  Beginning in November, she will start the process of teaching how to finish up the quilt.  

So far, I have completed fourteen blocks.  I have been so thrilled to learn all the techniques and block designs.  I am finally going to take the time to share those here and will continue to post monthly as I make up the new blocks.  By the end of December, I hope to be able to share a completed quilt!  :]

January:  Slashed Blocks


February:  Half-Square Triangles


March:  Foundation Piecing



April:  English Paper Piecing



May:  Wonky Long Cabin


June:  The Modern 9-Patch


July:  Dresden Plates


Thanks for looking!  In August, we will be working on Star quilt blocks.  I can't wait to share those!
