April Goal ALYoF

This month my goal for April over at  ALYOF is to sew up bedding for this doll bed.

This block is the start of the quilt.

I also need to scrub, sand & paint the bed.

Triangle QAL

So far so good. I am using a FQ pack along with three random solids total of 17 FQ's. It called for cutting 12 per but I got 15 per so I'm growing a lovely stack of extras maybe a mini will get pieced too. We shall see.

Are you quilting along too?

QOV block drive

Kevin the Quilter is hosting an awesome and dear to my heart Quilts of Valor block drive.
Not sure if you all know or not but my husband is Retired Army, he just (medically) retired June of 2013. In 12 years (2001-2013) he served overseas 6 times. Returning home by way of medivac the last time. He received a wonderful Quilt from American Hero Quilts that we will always cherish. No matter what organization or group I thank any and all who help get a quilt to a service member. So I have sewn up 5 blocks for the block drive. They will ship out today.

Rainbow of Rectangles

This is a post I can't believe I never wrote up.

Back in 2012 I followed along (mostly) with scrappy 12x12 link on right sideboard.

Pictures are telling me they were taken Jan-April 2012

Here it is Rainbow of Rectangles, my first shot at a quilt.

 

On the back I used a fun ABC print that I had for years :/





I did the binding in the same print



Finished size is 35 x 46
