joseph's coat

I joined a quilt along last week.

Here's my second block.

My first block was a race to the finish, so the points

didn't match as well as this one.

wellllll, they say practice makes perfect!

I know I have a lot of practice ahead.

I was really trying to be first. :)

Kellie, who is hosting this particular quiltalong was offering a prize

for the first block done!

I love a challenge!!

But....I came in second!!

I did not buy the stitch and wash product she recommends.

I couldn't find it in time.

After struggling with the first block I've decided to

just draw the design on the muslin with a pencil line.

Then I'm doing needle turn as I applique on the those pretty petals.

That's why, if you look closely, the outside edges of the

circle are still raw edges.

I think we will be joining the blocks there,

but the instructions have not been sent out yet.

I think I will have fun with this quilt and will

have a take-along project for a LONG time!

49 blocks!!!

Look at what I did with the little scraps!
One of my friends admired the fabric.
I couldn't resist making this, since her
birthday coincided with her sweet comment!

Now she has a little bit of that fabric for herself!!
