So I've been on a short blogging break. It's been real busy here at the Quilt Dad household and I haven't had too much time to work on anything, much less blog about it. I'm trying to finish up an embroidery piece for the Hoop Up swap as well as my Doll Quilt Swap quilt, and did finish my pillow for the Pillow Talk Swap ... more on that in another post.
I did recently complete another round of the Lap Quilt Swap over on Craftster. Here's a rundown of the blocks I made for my swap partners:
For SimplySandy, String Stars 2 from the Quilter's Cache site:
A Double Pinwheel block for ritapizza:
Practicing my curved piecing for chinarockfishakm:
For linnybelle:
For marmish:
Some improv piecing for 1boy1girl1kitty2:
More curved piecing, this time for shout4joy:
This block's called Frolic Variation and it's for gingerquilts:
Wonky curves for summertimerolls:
And finally, some raw edge applique (block pattern from the Quiltmaker Magazine "100 Blocks" issue) for malisha:
An amazing variety of colors, styles, designs, and fabrics. Busy, busy, Quilt Dad!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! What lucky swap partners. I love all the different styles!
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks! But I'm especially interested in the raw edge applique block - I'm assuming you used some kind of fusible web to attach the pieces, since I don't see any stitching at all. If this is how it is done, how does it hold up to use?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks! I love the double pinwheel. Believe it or not I have those same fabrics left over from my placemats and napkins (http://homemadepineapplemarshmallows.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/thing-one-and-thing-two/)-I see some spinning triangles in my scrap's future!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are all beautiful! You have been busy. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteWow! If this is your idea of not having much time to sew, I'd love to see you with a lot of sewing time on your hands! Beautiful -- and such a variety of techniques and blocks!
ReplyDeleteWow, just wow John! You are a block piecing machine! Can't wait to see what fabric you used for my block for the modern siggy swap!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks.
ReplyDeleteHOw do you get so much done and sop precise!!!!! I want to be you when I grow up!
ReplyDeleteLove the sew-and-tell today! My favorite is the music themed block for linnybelle. I love the colors and the shapes. But all your work is very nice. I'm in awe of the curved piecing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletedang John! your circles are looking r e a l good!! I'm digging them ;)

ReplyDeleteGOSH - these are really beautiful blocks! I enjoyed looking at them for quite some time!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, you've been making some pretty stuff, John. Love all the pretty blocks but the curved ones are my favorites. Good work!
ReplyDeleteYour curved piecing looks great! I'm getting fixated on circles and am going *gulp* attempt to do some myself. Thanks for the inspiration boost and keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteOh fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I have one of your blocks from whoopdedoo5's Amy Butler quilt (not sure which lap quilt swap that was), but it's hanging on my wall at home! (http://chimesdesign.com/blog/2010/01/14/apartment-redecorating/img_1096/)
Holy shnikes, what a busy guy! And what gorgeous work--awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou say you've been too busy to work on anything, but that sure is a lot of blocks you've posted, I love, love, love the Kaleidoscope Variation block! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. i'm so jealous. I don't have the courage to try some of those patterns yet LOL
ReplyDeleteWow what a variation! I love the curve blocks. I'm working up my courage to try them...they scare me to death lol! Awesome blocks and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteTienes unos trabajos preciosos!!
ReplyDeleteFelicidades
What great work! You have wonderful taste in fabric choices, and a good eye on your combinations in your blocks. Lynne
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! These look great!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE them!! I could only wish to be as talented as you :)
ReplyDeleteTrish
god, these are insanely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set of blocks! Love your fabric choices. You know how to make some rather wild fabrics play well together.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the curved piecing! Is it hard to do?
ReplyDeletelots of yummy blocks!! i'm glad you are alive over there!! ;-) i just finished your bee blocks last night!
ReplyDeleteThanks for responding to my question, John! Sorry about the reply thing - I still haven't figured it out but I will. I've used that applique technique a lot on kids' t-shirts now I'll have to try it on quilt blocks! By the way, I finished piecing your split nine-patch and it looks great!
ReplyDeleteStumbled upon your site thanks to Google Reader recommendations - lucky me! I'm working on my first quilt! I look forward to following your quilting adventures.
ReplyDeleteHi John!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I'm a little inspired.
Quick about me. My name is Parvin. I recently turned 24 and set out to accomplish 25 goals before I turn 25. One of my goals is to make a quilt out of the various t-shirts i've acquired over the years.
Your blog makes me want to get cracking on this goal of mine!
Hello! love your patterns! I have a question...I am going to make the "off the grid" sliced nine patch quilt from the moda blog and I can't find a honeybun in my chosen fabric...I already purchased the charm packs, so I don't really want to change fabric. I chose Tula Pink's "Plume". Anyway, would it work to use a jelly roll? I believe that it's about 1" wider than a honey bun?
ReplyDeletePlease let me know what you think.

Why have I never seen this blog before?!?! LOVE it!!! Thanks for the inspiration- I'll be back often! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the curved pieces and appliques. So wonderful! I am starting on my first quilt now and hope to be as good as this some day...
ReplyDeleteWow! Great blocks! I'd hate to see what happens when you DO have time to sew....
