Week 24 Blocks 70 to 72

Eight more months until Christmas. Your early Christmas present is we've reached block 72. The 72 block quilt would be a great quilt for Canada's 150th birthday on July 1, 2017.

Now that you are all so excellent at piecing HSTs, these blocks are less intense. We will be working our way back up to intensity through out May, then less intense again. You quilt warriors are all spectacular. Keep up the fantastic work!

Instructions for the 65"x72" and 77"x84" quilts will be available on-line next week.


These three ladies believed in speaking up with dignity for women and society, and changed how we treat people.

Blocks 67 to 69 - Are you ready?

Is everyone chocolated out? Hope everyone had a great Easter.

On Easter I suddenly realized it's Sunday! Where did the week go. Then, next Tuesday will be the 72nd block for those that are making a smaller quilt. Geesh. Where did those weeks go. A friend of mine in her eighties says it goes even faster. How Can That Be?

Is everyone ready? Blocks are dicey; there are plenty of seams. Do not be in a hurry this week. Relax and enjoy the process. Yes, there are other ways to make a couple of these and avoid having some seams but the would be even more fiddly. So I chose to go with all the seams. When pressing remember that you can spin, open or press to one side, even in one row of seams to allow the block to lay flat. There are no quilt police here.

Just relax.
