Midweek Makers 274

It's Wednesday, which means it's a Midweek Makers day! First time here? Welcome! I hope you join in on the sharing fun!

I've got another block done for my son's beach quilt, this time it's a house.

Notice that round window? It was one of my first test cuts using the Crafters Edge Crossover II die cutting system. If you look closely, you can see it's a four patch cut with a circle die, with trim added on the outside.

Why the four patch? My son wanted a window pane look and eventually I'll add quilting to further define the line. In another post, I'll explain how I cut the trim.

Now let's have a look at some of the beauties from last week!

There's several sampler quilts in progress, one from Home Sewn by Us,


another from Holy Cow Chris!,


and this one from Quilts and Costumes.


Though this is technically not a sampler quilt, Not Afraid of Color's Stay at Home Round Robin turned out fantastic!

  2. bold and fresh beach quilt block! Are you doing a palm tree? I grew up going to Clearwater Beach in Florida, and the palms were such a big part of the experience, along with coppertone lotion
