Layer Cake Quilt Along-Spin Wheel

Here is block 7 by Celine Perkins through the Layer Cake Quilt Along. This pattern was quick.  I am finally caught up with my blocks.

Layer Cake Quilt Along, I WON

Look what I won, a Perkins Dry Goods Perfect Piecing Seam Guide.  I won this prize for participating in the Layer Cake Quilt Along and the actual block that I won the prize for was Block 5 (I am known as knitdemon on flickr).  I received my prize in the mail this Saturday and I went around to my sewing machines and checked my 1/4 seam allowance and this liitle doo hickey really works.  Thanks Celine Perkins and Konda Luckau.

Layer Cake Quilt Along (Pointing The Way)

Here is block 6 by Toby Lischko through the Layer Cake Quilt Along.  This pattern was easy and came together way faster than I thought.

Layer Cake Quilt Along (Rainbow Boxes)

Here is block 5 by Cara Wilson through the Layer Cake Quilt Along. This pattern was very interesting.  I did not think the corner squares would come out right, because they are supposed to change directions when you cut them apart and behold they did.  Amazing.  I think I will be trying this on larger measurements.

Layer Cake Quilt Along (Starry Starry Snowball)

Here is block 4 by Sherri McConnell through the Layer Cake Quilt Along. This pattern was easy and came together fast.  I like her technique for sewing on the corner triangles.

Layer Cake Quilt Along (Basket)

Here is block 3 by Sarah Vanderburgh through the Layer Cake Quilt Along. This pattern was easy and came together way faster than I thought.

Layer Cake Quilt Along (Block 2)

Just completed bock 2 by Vickie Eapen through the Layer Cake Quilt Along.  I mistakenly grabbed some solid brown fabric that I had in my stash and was done making the half square triangles (HST) and as I was  pressing the seams open on the last one (of course it would be the last one), I noticed the others were shrinking.  Upon closer inspection turns out that solid brown fabric was not 100% cotton, still don't know what it is.  I had to make the HSTs all over again.  I would have been finished and onto block 3 earlier today.  Oh well you live and learn.  Enjoy.

Layer Cake Quilt Along (Alabama Spinner Block)

I just completed putting together block 1 by Gene Black through the Layer Cake Quilt Along.  I am using various fat quarters to make mine as I am not finding layer cakes in town that fit what I want (the quilt stores don't sell a lot of different layer cakes or at least when I get there the pickings are slim).  There is still time to join the group.  I am going to start on block 2 today as the group is already on block 5 and the patterns are still up for those who want to make them..  The cool thing is if you meet the picture posting deadline you are enter to win prizes each month.  What an incentive.... plus you get a nice quilt in the end with a little work.  The quilt will be 64X80.  This will be a nice since cuddle quilt.  Enjoy.
