Only the Upper and Lower Blocks left…

and then we get to sewing the top together. Are you as excited? Or do you need a push? Let us now if we should send you some extra motivation and virtual hugs.

Task

This week’s progress

I did finish this weeks task but I also managed to make two mistakes. One you can already see in this picture. I think it is not that big a deal and I will leave it in. The other is a bit more hilarious…

… I carefully planned the fabric placements for all six blocks but when I put them up on the wall it looked like this. What?!

Yes, I managed to get confused with the Upper and Lower part. Apparently that day when I was cutting my brain thought Upper Block = high UP on my design wall and so on… So I cut the fabrics directly opposite of where I wanted them to end up. But can you believe that I managed to have the block exactly matching the neighboring block by accident on all SIX of them?!

Guess my layout is back to the drawing board :) The pink one is easy, I can just switch it. But the green leaves will take a bit more moving around. But I am sure it can be fixed. Just need to find the motivation.

I think someone was anxious to get it done :) But doesn’t it look great on that bench in the forrest/park?

Sponsor

Threaded Quilting Studio

Also I want to give a shout out to our sponsors. They are the ones that make the prizes for you at the end of the Sew Along possible. This week’s short profile:

Sponsor Logo Threaded Quilting Studio
I just noticed Threaded Quilting Studio a short while back but since then I can immediately spot the beautiful pictures in my Instagram feed. Jess is the person behind the scenes and she quilts computerized edge-to-edge designs; all modern, often geometric and all so gorgeous. She is very busy and often booked out but I think it is worth the wait. Just wished I lived closer so I could send her something :)

Don’t want to take my word for it? Go look at her Instagram page.

Besides that she offers pdf patterns, a few are even free – I especially love the “Modern Heart” one. And I think those patterns with “star” included in their names and the snowflake sampler are especially unique, modern interpretations.

Remember to post your progress with the hashtag #leafyquiltsewalong. And tag me @mellmeyer if you want to.

Oh, and let me take a second to tell you that I had a finish and posted about that yesterday: Wanta Fanta – Finished! I’d be very happy if you hopped over to take a peek and maybe even leave me a comment :)

See you next week!

Best wishes

Hey! I’m Melanie

Have you already found your love for modern patchwork and quilts? Here in Germany quilts are not known to all, especially not modern quilts. So on this blog I show you my journey into modern quilting. I hope you accompany me and that I can be a source of motivation and inspiration.   [read more]
