Mystery block at Paper Panache...

I am going to make the Fairy Quilt Godmother from Paper Panache

The pattern and name are given out randomly from questions that you answer. My Fairy Quilt Godmother's name is Quilonovia .

So, if you like to paper piece, why don't you join in on the fun at Paper Panache . Otherwise if you like paper piecing go check out the web site. They offer some really cute patterns to purchase and a free mystery block about once a month .

Here's what I did in class today.

This is the class sample.

Today I learned how to make the center lattice. Once I had the 22" square center done I added the borders that I made the other night. I do not have any more of the background fabric so if I want to make this bigger than 48" square I will have to decide what to do for the rest of the background. I am thinking of adding an island chain border from the book Scrap-basket Sensations by Kim Bracket. First I have to decide what background to use.

Getting ready for Class...

I made these blocks to put around a basket lattice sampler that I will be making in a quilt class tomorrow. I am using left overs from some other quilts that were made from these batiks. So this is going to probably be just a lap size quilt.

Chipper was trying to teach Scottie how to hep me with quilt layouts. I had trouble catching a shot when they were on the blocks.

Second Florida post....

On Tuesday after our Family visiting in Jacksonville we returned to Orlando. Then on Wednesday my DH and his Mother went to visit her brother+wife about a two hour drive from Orlando. My girls and my SIL went to Universal Studios. So, I went to one more quilt shop. I didn't get to take pictures of the shop, as my daughter took the camera with her to Universal.

This is the fabric that came home with me from

 The Cornerstone Quilt Shop . The Lady's in the shop were very helpful and friendly. It was "BLUE" month at the shop and anything blue was 15% off.

I have been wanting to make one of these Bargello quilts, so when I saw the kit and it had blue, my favorite color...I had to get it at 15% off. 

 I had seen this book on the web before I left home and since I needed some evening reading....I picked it up.

 There are quite a few interesting quilts to make from this book.

 We ended our stay in Orlando with a day at Epcot in Disney World. Very fun, but tiring.

I even found this 100% cotton square of fabric, scissor fob, tea tin and socks as a souvenir from the Japanese Pavilion. Perfect for a Quilter!
