Quiltathon Weekend / QFAH
I’ve been working on Judy Laquidara’s Quilt for an Hour quilt, Shine on Bayou Cane. I thought this would be a great gift, but the greedy part of me wants to keep everything for myself. Solution? Make two. Well, I will get two done, but I’m not saying when. (By the way, the block is straight. It’s my photography that’s crooked. Really.)
I’m not done making my quarter-square blocks, but I got tired of just looking at “components” and wanted to see some finished product. So I put one block together. I like it!!! My star fabrics are primarily from a 32-fabric pack of fat eighths, so it will be plenty scrappy. In Judy’s instructions, she has you making two blocks alike, 15 times, for a total of 30 blocks. Stay with me — that’s all the harder the math is going to get. So I am making 30 different blocks, two each. Divided into two quilts. This way, each quilt will have 30 different stars in it. Sounds good on paper.
I have too many other irons in the fire right now, so this project is going to get set aside for a few days, but I’m hoping to finish up pretty quickly. Thank you, Judy, for another rewarding project.

LOVE your fabrics! I haven’t had time to make the QFAH project of Judy’s but I am in love with it especially the borders. Isn’t she absolutely fantastic? I am printing the instructions so I can make it soon. By the way, I am having a 100th post giveaway. Please leave a comment as per instructions and you’re entered.
