These are the blocks Bea and I made for the Penny Patch QAL so far. We need to have 32 done, so only 14 more to go. Bea sewed a few, but she preferred doing all the ironing, which made making these blocks really fast. We had a system down after just a few!
This bird block is my favorite of all of them. The color scheme of red, white, and blue is probably my favorite. Hopefully the yellow adds a !pop! of color.
I’m going over my cousin’s house later this week to help her get her blocks done. I volunteered to do all the ironing and help with pinning, so maybe we could get all 60 of hers done in a few hours?
Hope you are having a great day! Thanks for visiting!
Those are great. And how fun that you and Bea are working together.
ReplyDeleteJamie, these are fantastic blocks. I just love that pop of yellow, it's such a wonderfully unexpected color to add, and it totally works.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely Penny Patch! It's great you're making the 2 of them.
ReplyDeleteLove this color combo, and the softness of adding the gray
ReplyDeleteIt is looking so great. I still need to get started!
ReplyDeleteAnother blogger over at Splish Splash is doing the Penny Patch as well. Looks to be a fab time! Love your color scheme going on.
ReplyDeletethere are some really fun fabrics in here! that bird block with the lotta jansdotter is very cute. =) how fun to be team sewing.
ReplyDeleteThose are really wonderful blocks. The birds block would be my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The fabric choice matches the nostalgic feel of the quilt so well. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking so good!! Such fun fabrics and colours! What a great idea to have someone pinning and ironing for you!!
ReplyDeleteSuper way to work on them! I love your birdie block too, as well as the one top left corner (med blue and navy). I haven't started my penny patch yet! But I hope to get somewhere by Christmas with it.....
ReplyDeleteLooking good :)
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could convince even one of my daughters to come over and sew with me. I just recently bought 2 more machines. I'm working on talking to my granddaughters to teach them how to sew.
