Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Little By Little

Little by little is the way this quilt is going to get done!  I managed to make six blocks over three day's time.  Well, so be it.  The 64 blocks I need will be done at some point if I keep this up.  Little by little Flowers for Clara will become a quilt.

Hey, did you all check out Pink Pincushion and A Quilting Life to see the new Schnibbles for October?  "Cindy Lou Who?"  Well, I checked them out, and I already started my project!  I will post some pictures tomorrow.  I am using a layer cake of Blessings by Brannock and Patek, and am so anxious for the yardage to be available for sale so I can buy my border fabric.  Everywhere you look it says "fabric available in September".  Hello?  Aren't we done with September and on to October?  Where's my Blessings?  I am not using all the colors in the line, just the red, green and black.  And the lights of course.  This is why I love using layer cakes instead of those measly little charm pack.  More options!

PS—Fatquartershop has Blessings yardage for sale this morning!!!  Yea!

  1. Love the Flowers for Clara pattern…I think I have it somewhere….it’s going to be beautiful, Nicole.
    I, too, am waiting for some yardage to be available. Astor Manor…also supposed to be in September. Sigh.

  5. Good for you making progress on an already started project!
    I did pick up on your Finish It post, and have chosen a project I really do want to finish, but it takes forever. Thank you for giving me the motivation to finish it, I just have to finish some other quilts first…

  9. I’m up in the air over Cindy Lou Who, but everyone else’s enthusiasm is contagious. I’ve ordered the pattern, maybe something will click when I can study it in person.
    Your blocks look beautiful. It’s worth the time to have them finish up so perfectly.
