Blockheads ~ Block 44

Happy 2018! Happy January! Did you have a lovely holiday? It's been quite cold here - relatively speaking. Meaning, it's freezing cold to me! But to friends in Illinois, Nebraska and elsewhere... not so much. I'll bet Betsy's cold. That's why she made so many itty-bitty half-triangle squares. She...

Blockheads ~ Block 36

Thirty-six down, twelve to go. Can you believe we're three-quarters of the way through the year? The prints are from Rachel Remembered by Betsy Chutchian and Independence Trail by Minick & Simpson. And then there is the Snowberry by 3 Sisters background. And okay, I might have tweaked my block...

Blockheads ~ Not done yet!

It's been less than a week and I'm just not ready to be finished yet. Maybe because I'm still not even close. But Tammy finished her quilt! Isn't this beautiful? Tammy chose a Fall color palette because (1) she's from Indiana and misses the beautiful Fall colors, and (2) she's always wanted a Fall-...

Blockheads ~ Block 45

Can you believe that January is already almost half over with? That might be a slight exaggeration but it is almost one-third over. Happy Wednesday - Blockheads Edition 45. Double Dutch by Jo Morton. The quilt block, not the jump-rope game. Did you ever play that? I did and while I could keep a...

Blockheads ~ Block 46

Brrrrr. Is it cold where you are? Okay. This might be overly dramatic... this isn't Dallas. But to yours-truly, I feel like I'm sitting on that bench right now. I'm freezing. But it's all relative because the outside-temperature at a sweet friend's house was -2 yesterday morning. Though the...

Blockheads ~ Block 17

No! This is no time for tears! We've made it through sixteen weeks and we're more than a third of the way through. It's Lisa Bongean's turn with the Blockheads and that means lots and lots of itty, bitty, teeny tiny pieces. Next time. This week's block is all about half-triangle squares - in fact,...
