Minecraft Monday TNT & Grass Cubes

Welcome crafters!  Today I am sharing the TNT & Grass blocks by Seriously, I Think it needs Stitches! Yes, I am sewing out of order. I have the benefit of seeing all of the blocks from the entire sew a long. Since these are fairly quick and easy, I make them in between some of my more complicated quilt blocks that I work on. These two were a little more challenging because of all of the matching seams. Not perfect, but once it's quilted and squished up on a 10 year old, you won't be able to tell:-)

Minecraft Monday #2 Creeper

Today's Minecraft block is Creeper. I'm really having fun choosing colors and piecing these Minecraft blocks. It gives me a break from another quilt I'm working on which has a lot of half square triangles. Squares are a nice change. This is Kelli's 2nd block on her Minecraft quilt a long section. Hop over to her blog to see all of the Minecraft blocks Seriously, I think it needs stitches.

Minecraft Monday #1 Steve

Yes, I'm a bit late to the party, but at least I'm here;-) I was recently introduced to a new quilt blog, Seriously, I think it needs stitches, by Kelli Fannin. I was originally intrigued by her Harry Potter quilt (which I have the fabric for waiting in the wings) and noticed she had done a Minecraft quilt pattern a few years back. Since this quilt looked like just a few pieces per block, I thought I'd start with the Minecraft quilt first. I will be doing most of the blocks out of order since I'm able to pick and choose my favorites now that the official sew along is done.

For my own personal "Minecraft Monday" sew a long I decided to start with the classics. This is my Steve block. It went together nice and quick. Next week I'll work on the Creeper block. My goal is to finish it by next January (front and back) in order to be quilted for my youngest's 5th grade graduation next spring. #Minecraft Monday

Eight Carat Quilt Along Part 1 Finished!

It was so easy making this part of the Eight Carat quilt along.  I used the 4 inch finished Triangles on a Roll from the Fat Quarter Shop. It makes my half-square triangles perfect! I chose the P&B Basically Hugs light gray for my background and Cotton & Steel fabrics for the blues. There isn't much sunshine here today, so hopefully there will be more sun when I show the finished top. #eightcaratquiltalong

Eight Carat Quilt Along

I've taken on yet another project this week. I've joined in on the Fat Quarter Shop's Eight Carat Quilt Along. I have yet to perfect my half-square triangle piecing so, I decided this would be a great opportunity to practice. Here are the fabrics I picked out purchased from Stitch Supply. I'm excited to see how it comes together. #eightcaratquiltalong

Echinacea Sew A Long

Yes, I'm doing another summer sew a long called Echinacea Field. This pattern is by Kristin of Woolly Petals.  It seems I'm getting more sewing done when I have to be accountable for my progress;-). Last week we had to pick our project and fabrics. I decided to do a runner/wall hanging for my sewing room which consists of 3 blocks. Here are some of my fabric pulls.
