do. Good Stitches: September Blocks
I'm back from Sewing Summit and finally catching up on my to-do list! Above are the blocks I made for Lynn for September's quilt for the Wish Circle of do. Good Stitches. Our group members created scrappy blocks using Ashley's converging corners tutorial; I think the final quilt will be stunning!
do. Good Stitches: August Blocks

I've received almost all of the blocks from group members...

My fellow circle member, Erica, asked that we make kaleidoscope blocks [from this excellent tutorial] using purples, oranges and pinks, with a gray/neutral background.
I pulled a number of things from my stash, including many Spoonflower prints, and quickly put the blocks together. They were surprisingly easy to make, and I love how they turned out. I can't wait to see them pieced together into a quilt with my fellow circle members' blocks!
