Block #2 "Wings" and Block #3 "Lots Of Love"

So as you know I am working on the 

Splendid Sampler Quilt through the Facebook Group 

which you can find Here....

You will find all the information you need 

to get started and while we are on Block #3 

it is not too late to Join the fun 

 Today I am going to share with you what I am doing 

I must be crazy as I am going to tackle 2 quilts...

One will be done exactly how the designer 

has laid out the pattern and the other one 

will be a variation on the block...

 Block #2 Wings 

by JANE DAVIDSON

you can find the pattern Here

I have never really worked with small pieces

before so this has been a bit of a challenge for me 

But I am loving it...it is really pushing me out 

of my comfort zone....the blocks are a little 

wonky but I am sure that I will get better 

managing my little pieces...with all the tips 

that are going around ...

my advice is to starch the heck out of 

your fabric before you cut anything 

here is the block that I followed the pattern to the letter 

I am using Riley Blake Fabrics 

called " Country Girls" 

With a Background fabric with Dark Blue 

spots on white 

 And the Second Quilt I am doing a variation 

on the block....

 and each block will be made from 

my scrap-box not more fabric will be cut 

maybe just a little for sashing and borders 

latter in the quilt 

and both these quilts will go to my Daughter 

and her Daughter (My Grand-baby)

they will be just a little different from each 

other....

here is the block again I really should have starched

the heck out this fabric before I cut it...

Lesson Learnt though :) :) 

I am still not sure if I will add the 

butterflies feelers yet or not 

I will decide this latter 

Now Moving onto Block #3 

By 

Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting 

I love this block while it had small pieces 

I found it a lot easier now that I used 

My best press before I cut any Fabric

It is still a little wonky but a darn site 

better than my effort for Block #2

again the first block was done to the pattern 

you can find the pattern Here

here is my Block 

using the Riley Blake Fabric "Country Girls" 

I am very Please with how it has turned out 

and now to the Scrap-box Block....

as you can see I have still used the hearts 

but this block I appliqued them 

Just using a simple blanket stitch 

with white cotton....I would also like to point out that 

I have used a light weight stabilizer on the back 

so the stitching is easier....I think this is just 

too cute :) :) 

So I just cute a 6.5inch block in white and 

then used my Accuquilt heart die for the hearts 

it has 3 different sizes on the die...I used the 

smallest and the medium size heart 

I can not wait to see Block #4 that will
be released this Thursday (Friday Morning Australian time)

I will keep you posted of my progress
