Here are 3 of the the 4 Star Chain blocks (February) I made for my sampler quilt. Unfortunately, I spilled a little coffee on the 4th one as I was getting ready to take the photo, and had to do a quick rinse job on it. It’s now out in the sun drying, and I hope will soon be as good as new. So I’ve got 3 of the 5 months done and I just noticed from Sophie’s diagram for the queen size sampler that I have enough to assemble some...

Hi, Just finished my Triangle Squares …however, I need to remake 2 Star chains as the pup got hold of them(when I was busy sewing) and gummed them to pulp! Just when I thought I was getting caught up! Sheesch!Guess what I’ll be doing...

I started making the Diagonal Bars blocks for my Mod-Mod Throw quilt, using the Rainbow Scraps Challenge color of the month: Green.  Here’s my first of eight blocks. A couple of quilters have emailed me about their problems with the block coming out the wrong size, so, as I made this block, I paid close attention at each step looking for answers for them. Technically speaking, when you put a 5 inch square (the finished size of the 5 bars...

Hi everyone, Here is my Mod QAL progress. Not quite up-to-date with no beads-on-string blocks made yet (not even cut out). And probably another chain-star block at least to go. Getting there slowly....

My Star Chains for the Mod-mod...

Hi, I have finally finished the beads, I used Dena’s WIP video for the circles (tin foil method) and found it speedy and gave an excellent result. The bead blocks use a lot of techniques and are good learning tools. Now it is on to the Chained Stars. Wishing you have a Joyous...

Well, I have been thinking about where I will take the colour for the Month- January Chevrons… and I decided to go with off white TOT and Greens. I am working on my Beads- on a- String today. The invisible thread is! I am trying Dena’s video tip WIP with aluminum foil and it is totally easy and fast and giving me the best results yet! (I tried using a CD for the template (just an experiment)…I know it is the wrong size but ,...

Sigh. For some reason I can’t seem to make these without losing the points (the last seam allowances around these are too small).  I checked my seams through each step and they were a scant 1/4″.  So here are three I am going to use in my Mod, Mod Quilt Along.  None from me for the drawing again. Sorry, quilters. Angie in...

And here are my nine blocks for the MOD QAL.  I’ve been making my blocks in complementary colors and fabric from my stash.  One of the oranges I used looks yellow so I wish I had used a little bolder orange but I don’t have many oranges to choose from and so they stay as they are.

I was making blocks for my Mod-Mod Queen-size quilt, decided to use a striped fabric for some of the Flying Geese units .. and I decided I wanted the stripe to go the same way in all the blocks, which it wouldn’t if used the 4-at-once, no-waste technique in Method #1, or made them as half-square triangles as in Method #2.  At first I thought I’d paper-piece them (Method #3 in the block directions), but it just seemed a lot faster if...

I finished my first module.  It’s going to be fun to see how this...
