Life on Easy Street

I completed Step 3 of the Easy Street Mystery over at Quiltville.  I am enjoying this, and look forward to Friday for the next Step!  You can see how others are doing by checking out Bonnie's post here!

Easy Street

Bonnie Hunter has started a new mystery quilt over on Quiltville called "Easy Street".  Each Friday, Bonnie posts a new step in the mystery.  Here are my first 2 steps...192 four patches, 128 flying geese units, and 64 rectangles!  As I am using fabric from my stash, I chose a different colorway than Bonnie.  For this quilt, my four main colors will be red, blue, green, and gold/yellow with a light tan/beige for the background.  For a parade of blocks from other participants in the Easy Street mystery, head on over to Quiltville!

November's Block

Another month has passed...it is nearing December already!  Here is my version of the November block from the Quilt Square Quilt Along over at Jo's Country Junction.  One more month to go, and this Quilt Along will be history!  Then, I will need to decide what to do with  the blocks. 


I've also completed more rows on the Row Along over at Bee in My Bonnet, and have started the new Bonnie Hunter mystery, Easy Street, over at Quiltville!

October QSQA

I made it!  I am getting this in under the wire, but I did complete it in October!  Woo-hoo!  I love the stars, and this was an easy one to complete.  As usual, I used my Kansas Troubles scraps.  Head on over to Jo's to see the other blocks completed this month.

I've also made progress on the Row Along strips.  Just didn't get a picture taken...maybe I will post some pictures later in the month...maybe!

September Finish and a New Start!

I finished my September block for the QSQA.  It went quick, and was fun to do.  The pattern called for only 2 fabrics for the center of the block, buy I wanted to stay with my scrappy theme and used multiple reds and creams from my Kansas Troubles scraps.


I also completed the first row of the Row Along over at Bee In My Bonnet.  I'm doing this with a group of friends.  I've always wanted to make a "row" quilt, so this seemed like the opportunity to do so.  I had originally wanted to make this using  my 30's stash, but decided to use up some of my large Thimbleberries supply instead.  Lori, over at Bee In My Bonnet, has lots of tutorials on her site, including how to make 4 patches in a fun way!  I used her  method to make this row, and it went FAST!

August Finish

I completed my August block for the Quilt Square Quilt Along over at Jo's Country Junction. This month, it was my choice of the remaining blocks from Lori Smith's pattern #4, so I chose the Double T.  Here's my version using the Kansas Troubles fabrics.

July Block

I'm late in posting my block.  I just wanted to show that I did make my July Quilt Square Quilt Along block.  I went on vacation at the end of July, and when I returned in early August, my computer had died!  So, no way to post what I had finished until after I bought a new one.  Well, here it is!  Used my Kansas Troubles fabrics...again...as usual!!

I'm working on my August block, so will have it to show shortly!
