Bee Quilt - The Jetsons! (update 2)

The Jetson's was my prompt for my year 2 @unscriptedquiltsbee bee mates. Using a color palette from the series, I asked bee members to be inspired by shapes and make a simple block surrounded that shape with background fabric. (Think square-in-a-square but instead with an irregular shape.) Everyone was sent a FQ of Painter's Palette Lapis.

As you can see, they hit it out of the park - the different blocks are just so much fun!

Although I'm not sure of my final layout, I do enjoy spreading them all over the floor to test out different ideas while I wait for the last two sets of blocks arrive.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

Moon Joy

I, like many others, was excited about the Artemis II moon flyby on April 6  (photo sourced from Nasa.) When Kristy from Quiet Play offered a free Moon Joy FPP pattern, I jumped right on it, copying her rainbow color placement.

The flange binding was an experiment in practicing the technique so I could consider doing it for a larger quilt. The cross-hatch walking foot quilting is one of my favorite ways to finish a quilt. The mini finished at 17"square.

On this date 57 years ago, the very first astronauts landed on the moon. I am old enough to remember when this happened. Although my mini quilt has been done for awhile, posting on this anniversary seemed appropriate.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

Building a Village house block

Audrey @cottonandbourbon shared earlier this week that she wanted to submit a group entry for QuiltCon and welcomed 100 folks to send her a block. She designed this FPP house block and wants blocks in all different colors for her Building a Village quilt.

I don't often use purple so took this one on as a challenge and really like the way it turned out. It was a fun block to assemble. I really love the  idea of collaboration in the quilting community so this project caught my eye right away. 

Audrey will make her quilt with the first 100 blocks that arrive to her, so if you're interested, do join in. See Audrey's IG profile for more information.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
