100 Modern Quilt Blocks

I have been bitten by the follow along bug and am working hard on the Modern Blocks by Tula Pink.  They are quite fun and addictive.

Wanna see how far I am...

Did I mention that there are a few blocks from the Splendid Sampler QAL?

I like the book and how the blocks are illustrated.  Easy to work with.

Missouri Star Quilt Co Hunter Star Block

I have been working on this Missouri Star Quilt Co pattern called Hunter Star pretty much all summer.  It seemed scary because there were lots of bias edges but it worked stunningly well.

A bit bright but I was using up my stash :)

New and Old Our Father Prayer Quilt

After nearly finishing the Our Father Quilt from the  pattern by Elefantz.  I thought of how beautiful it is...

Better pictures coming....

I was inspired to make my own original embroidered Our Father Prayer,

I am so excited with how the first block went that I had to show it off before I got around to pressing.... I did wash it quickly, tho to confirm the my DMC 939 is in fact colour fast.  Small Yeah...

It is done in a mix of stem stitch, satin stitch, and back stitch, with either one or two threads.

Flowering Laurel steaming along

Speaking of steaming that may be the next step to make all the appliques look smooth and finished.

This is block number 10 - I thought it was nine and I was going to quit there but now I have ten which begs for 2 more to make 12 right.  How's my math today.  Solid I think.

This is a set of blocks I have been working on for quite a while.  The pattern is in the November 2004 issue of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine.  I usually carry a block with me when we travel.

Starburst

Another day another star block.

This is called the QNM Star and it was designed by Carol Doak for Quilters Newsletter Magazine.
