January was Charm Squares, February is Fat Quarters! After we finished Mom’s projects, she helped me cut out my Fat Quarter project for February – it’s going to be another Ohio Star quilt and will be very similar to the one I finished last year. My energy level is still very low so it was nice to go in and start sewing!
I’ve got 3 and a half blocks of the 12 I need for the quilt already sewn!
Other than that, my day was just more knitting and cuddling with Finn! He loves sitting up in the chair with me and lets me knit as long as I want while he naps.
If you’re playing along with our 2019 Precut Party, I’d love to know what you’re making this month with Fat Quarters!
Really like your Ohio Star blocks…what size are they? hugs, Julirose
Thanks for the pattern, I think the blocks are a good size for bed quilts, which I generally make. I usually match 2 HST to make my hourglass block, no GO die for me.
Looks like you mustered up more energy than expected. The blocks look great. Since I just finished my fourth charm project yesterday I decided my fq project would be small. I found it here: https://storiedquilts.com/2018/04/28/bisection-quilt-pattern/
My FQ project is a kit purchased from Craftsy, 20 fq’s In pinks purples and green. All the blocks are done, just need to assemble.
I love the map print in the middle of your Ohio Stars.
Love the Ohio Star block and I think I will use it for a Star Wars quilt for a grandson. I have the material just couldn’t decide on a pattern. This is it, thank you!
I too like the map print. My FQ project is made using some Tim Holtz fabrics (including a map fabric) and the ‘In Color’ free pattern from the Zen Chic website. https://www.brigitteheitland.de/free-patterns-errata/. I resized the cuts to be a bit smaller as I find not all FQ are exactly 18 x 21.
I used up a fat quarter making some blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (a cat block and some other scrappy blocks). And I’ve pulled some fat quarters to make another Sew Together bag although I may not get that made this month.
The map print is really nice in the star blocks. Oh my, Finn looks so soft and cuddly. I would be just giving him a kiss on his little head all the time!
I have several friends who cut for entire quilts to sewing easier. I don’t normally work that way. Glad that it’s working for you during the Precut Party!
