Center Medallion

I just finished the center medallion. I do believe that I like to use a light fusible web instead of turning all the edges under. I will complete the whole quilt using the turned edges but don't think I will use this method again. It will interesting to see how I feel when the whole thing is done. I am quite tickled with how the blocks are coming together. It is going to be a very bright, beautiful quilt.

There is no SVG file for this one as you have to purchase the center medallion.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

My grandfather was a McKenna. His father came straight from Ireland in 1888. That makes me 1/8th Irish. I have always loved St. Patrick's day even though there are really no presents involved. This year I found some cute favors on "Brownpaper--Packages". Her March 8th post.

I made a few for the people in my ward that I visit and then I made a few more for my husband's families that he visits. Shhh, don't tell anyone because we haven't gone visiting yet!

My Tweets:Finished Blocks 1 & 2

I have finished blocks 1 & 2. I am now working on the center medallion while patiently waiting for block 3 to be posted on "One Piece at a Time".

TWEETS, Block 1

Using the Cricut to cut the pieces ended up being easier than I thought it would be. The pieces are more precise than I could have gotten them if I had traced them then cut them each out one by one. This is my progress after just two hours of work. The tutorials on Erin Russek's site, "One Piece at a Time", have been extremely helpful.

March's Effort

My "Count on It" effort for the month of March. It was really hard to keep February up until the 28th since Valentine's Day was way past.

Heather has put a lot of work into her svg images and she shares them with everyone.

Redwork: Winter Twitterings

Between "Tweets" and "Twittering", I also have this quilt that I have been working on since January.

This book was downloaded from Clotilde.com, it was designed by Pearl Louise Krush.


My Completed Blocks

Cut Those Pieces the Easy Way!

I scanned in the 1st block of "Tweets" and was able to convert it to be cut on my cutter. Now to number them with corresponding numbers on the template sheet and I can start this beautiful quilt.

These are freezer paper pieces that are to be ironed onto the fabric and then cut out with a 1/4" seam allowance. I am so excited. This is going to save a lot of tracing and cutting.

Cutest little gal!
