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.
