I will be teaching the One Block Wonder technique next week at Your Best Friend's Quilt Shop. Our area has opened back up with social distancing. Because of the response, and everyone needing space, I will be teaching the same class two days in a row. I don't know what to expect, but I hope it goes well. It's a hard quilt to make in class, but if everyone gets the idea of what to do and gets blocks cut and sewn together, they can then assemble them at home. I have been working on samples for it. One is for the shop, but the other three are mine. I have previous ones for examples at the class as well.
I fell in love with this Kaffe Fassett Collective fabric being a purple and flower fanatic!
Here is the quilt, completely finished. I used a yellow from my stash for accent and binding.
Finished One Block Wonder |

I purchased 7 patriotic panels a few years ago and now was time to make them into a one block wonder! This one was hard to blend, but I think it turned out well. It is quilted and bound.
Along with these projects I completed the blocks for this disappearing 4 patch quilt. I had been using them as a leader/ender project. I love the cute Me and My Sister Designs fabric.
This week I had a break and decided to work on something but I had no idea what. None of my MANY, MANY projects looked interesting so I started something new. The pattern is Buzz Cut out of the book 12 Pack Quilts featuring fat quarters. I used Kaffe fabrics in my favorite colors. I still need to assemble the blocks, but it was very fun to make. The blocks finish at 7.5". I added two additional rows to the pattern.
I have also done a lot of yard work and gardening and spent several days cleaning my sewing room. So yes, even though I have been missing from blog land I have been busy!
Linking up with Design Wall Monday.

Such fun quilts as always! Makes me reconsider the fun floral purchased for a one block wonder that was moved to the "backings" box. Especially now with a large design wall, though often once something is pinned up, it's needed for a different project! You always inspire me.
I love your Buzz Cut quilt, Julie! Looks so "you!"
You have been busy! I just love the OBW made from panels. Is this your idea, Julie? I never would have thought to do that and they turn out wonderfully. I really like your last quilt, too... Buzz Cut. What a cute name.
