I've never shown the blocks I finished while we were in Alaska. I finished 2 of the Angels Among Us blocks (August & September) except for the buttons, which I stitched on when we got back home. I've started the October block, but I haven't had much time to stitch on it.

I also made another block for the Women of the Bible quilt. This is the block for Esther. It is 15 inches square. I've now made 6 of the 40 blocks.

Squirrel!!!!! On January 4th, I found a quilt I wanted to make. It is from AQS. I found it in the Member's Only section, but it was originally in the May 2019 issue of their magazine. It is called Peregrine's Compass.

I pulled fabric from my stash (gotta use it up), but I didn't like the light blue I had, and I wanted a light gray for the background. I switched it to primary colors. This is my center section so far. I'm almost finished stitching the parts for both of the flying geese sections, too.

I figured that it would be easier to trim it into the circle shape AFTER I sew these parts together. I'm not looking forward to sewing the curves, but I should be able to do it.
I'll be participating in a blog hop for Villa Rosa Designs. My day is Monday, January 23rd. I'll be having a giveaway, too.
I can't show you the quilt I've made, but the top is done, and I've started quilting it.
Your Angel blocks are so sweet. And your new project, wow-loving those colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the Peregrine's Compass and your middle looks great. I wouldn't think the curves will be too bad with a few pins. Good Luck! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteVery impressive work. Looking forward to your blog hop post.
ReplyDeleteYou should be fine with that big curve. I have discovered that the bigger curves are easier.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute blocks!! and I like that women of the bible one too - very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThat compass looks beautiful! I haven't tried one yet but have always wanted to.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt. Have a few panels that need to be used and this looks like a good way to use them. Jo sent me and so glad she did. Thank You
