| Poinsettias Allure designed by Judy Blok from the December 2013 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting |
I subscribe to a lot of quilting magazines, but rarely make a pattern from them. So the Let's Book it Challenge hosted by Vrooman's Quilts was an obvious way to encourage me to make a few projects from all those magazines and books which are gathering dust just sitting on the book shelf. Poinsettias has been my leaders and enders project for the last month. Since I've not been sitting at the sewing machine much the last couple of months, there's not much progress.
Nineteen of the 76 half square triangle blocks are done. At this rate, Poinsettias may end up being my only "book it" pattern this year. Well, probably not, I've got a few other projects picked out that use patterns or books. I just need to finish a few projects so there is room to start something new.
Check out all the other challenge projects posted over at Vrooman's Quilts.
But it is a start on what looks like a beautiful project. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove those beautiful pops of red. One quilt from a book is better than no patterns used from a book or magazine!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are lovely, and as every one has already said. 19 blocks is better than none at all. And it is good to use those mags.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking great and keep going. Will be nice to see it finished.
