Yay a quilt reveal! This is my economyblock quilt. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.... ..more details below. I began making this quilt to join in with the whole economyblock along, having failed to join in with the trip around the world quilt along.

A peek into my love of fabric, piecing, and quilting!

This week I have been busy making Economy Blocks . It seems this traditional patchwork block is well known but perhaps not as an Economy...

Another fun baby quilt. This time I was pretending to be Rita! I used her Economy block tutorial to make these. I adjusted the size so my blocks finish at 8" square. That means my center squares are cut at 4.5" Digging through my stash to fussy cut these was a blast! I was surprised that I had no problem finding 30 different things to "spy". Here are a few close ups so you can spy some things, too. Quilted with organic straight lines about 1/2" apart. This time I did things like Rita. I…

I LOVE this quilt! This is my quilt of choice for snuggling on the couch right now. I posted way back when that I was a late joiner to the Scrappy Trip Around the World craze. And now, several months later, its finally done! Better late than never. And this one was definitely worth the wait. Scrap quilts are my favorite. I've said it before and I'll say it many times more.

There were some fabrics I thought I would never find the right project for, but once I realized the sheer amount of eggplant, green, and peach in my Art Gallery stash, a palette quickly coalesced. And the results? Pretty, pretty, pretty! I quilted…
