Quilt Along Blocks Week 3

It is very hot here today! My home thermometer is registering 99.6 degrees right now! My sewing room is upstairs and we don't have the central air ran up there. We just use a window unit and let me tell you I was sweating getting these blocks together this morning!



I've been following Amy's Quilt Along the past three weeks. Here are my next two blocks for the sampler quilt.


The one on the left is called two by three and reminds of how a rail fence block goes together. I really like the way it looks. I could see it being used on very large scale for a simple quilt. The block of the right is a snowball type block. I was very nervous about patching with triangles but Amy made it easy and talked me through it well. I'm not so afraid of them now, but they still aren't my favorite shape to work with.

It is hard to tell in this picture, but the snowball block's fabric is navy blue with white dots.

Here are all my blocks so far.

  11. Your blocks are great. If you made an entire quilt with the 2x3 block, it would look so soothing to snuggle under.
