Jan, Feb, & March blocks

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Funky, Mod


Materials

California girl, fig tree quilts fat quarter bundle by moda and Kona snow white fabric.

What was your inspiration?

Amy was my inspiration. I love the way she gets so excited about each block, convincing me that I'm going to just "love, love, love" making these blocks. I also love her modern and fresh fabric choices. I wanted to make this project look like "my own" by choosing different fabrics but wanted them to look modern and fresh like hers.

What are you most proud of?

So far I would have to say the March blocks. I really like the way they turned out.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I put my computer right next to my sewing machine. I listen to one step, pause it and then do the step myself before moving on. So far I haven't had any trouble getting the blocks to work out. They always seemed to come out the way Amy's did.

Your fabric is so pretty. I did the same thing with my computer and had to rearrange my living room to do it. This is such fun. Keep up the good work
