Main Street Quilt & Thread Guild-Starry Night

Here is my first block completed for the Main Street Quilt & Thread Guild.  The request was either for a pink or purple and white block.  In this guild you have the option of completing the monthly block and you are given a ticket at the meeting along with all of the people that complete the block who want to be in the drawing.  A drawing is done and the winning ticket will win all the blocks submitted and you have to come up with a block for the next month along with presenting how to make it.

This is a neat idea.

AMQC Block #3 (Modern Plaid)

See photo below my completed block #3 for the Austin Modern Quilt Guild.  This pattern was an easy one, just time consuming pinning pieces to ensure the straight lines flowed through the pattern.  You have to watch your placement of the strips at the end, I accidentally sewed the small orange and white strips all on one side.  Enjoy.

AMQG Block #2 (Disappearing Nine Patch)

Here is a photo of my completed block #2 for the Austin Modern Quilt Guild.   This was a very interesting block.  You could have chosen any random order to piece it together and when you cut the block in half both ways you would have come up with something different.  I really like it.

AMQG: Block #1 (Friendship Star)

I completed my block #1, first block in the year long quilt-a-long for the Austin Modern Quilt Guild that I have recently joined.  I am trying to limit my use to scraps that I have on hand and then I can splurge to purchase fabric for any borders needed.  I missed a meeting due a scheduling conflict with my daughter's band practice.  Looking forward to the next meeting.
