Sewcialites and Gingham Picnic

The tenth weekly block for Sewcialites came out on Friday and I made it up that same day.  Here is my block 10, Sincere.

 And here are my ten blocks so far.

I also made two Gingham Picnic blocks using the same fabric for the centre stars.

As well as four more Gingham Picnic blocks using fabric from two previous weeks for their centre stars.

That brings me up to date working on both of these projects.  I really love this fabric.  Too bad I didn't buy more before Bluprint ceased to exist.

Sewcialites and Gingham Picnic

Yesterday I made the next Sewcialite Block Soulful:

And here are my eight blocks so far.

I also made two more Gingham Picnic blocks.

Working on two quilts at a time is great fun!

Sewcialites Block 6 and Gingham Picnic

The new Sewcialites block came out today and I got it sewn this afternoon.  This week's block is called Devoted.

And here are my six blocks so far.

While I'm making each new Sewcialite block, I'm using the same fabric for the central star and making two new Gingham Picnic blocks.

And here are my twelve Gingham Picnic blocks so far.

Loving both of these projects!

Gingham Picnic Quilt, Ten Blocks

I made two more Gingham Picnic Quilt blocks using the same fabric for the central stars as I used for my Sewcialites block.  I am choosing one set of solid fabrics that blends and one set that has more of a contrast with the central star.

My two newest blocks.

 My ten blocks so far.

I like the blocks set with sashing and corner stones, but I also like them right up against each other.

Gingham Picnic Quilt

I have a Gingham quilt on my bucket list and was planning on making one with fairly large blocks.  I even did a practice run with some 2.5" strips which will either become the front or the back of a comfort quilt.

A couple of days ago I happened upon a quilt pattern called Gingham Picnic Quilt by Amanda of Jedi Craft Girl and I've decided that I have to make this quilt.  And I think I will still make a large scale Gingham which I will use for the backing so it will be a double Gingham Quilt!  I am going to use the same fabric I'm using for Sewcialites for the central stars and I have a bin of solid fabrics that are from a couple of jelly rolls and a fat quarter bundle for the ginghams.

My first block.  I really love how the background colour of the print is the same teal family as the solids.

My second block.  The rose solids bring out the rose colours in the print.

My third block.  There is a tiny bit of blue in the print.

My fourth block.  A variety of purples, violets and pinks.

I couldn't stop, so I now have eight blocks.  Sorry this next picture came out blurry no matter how many times I tried to take it.  Maybe the gingham effect makes it hard to focus?  It gives you an idea of what the quilt will look like though.

I am really loving this!
