30 Blocks In 30 Days – Day 7
•
W E L C O M E
to DAY 7 of the
Quilt A Long and Blog Hop!
hosted by Carla from Creatin’ In the Sticks
•
A super easy block she calls ‘Stripper’ was offered and I decided that we could take it on.
Only two problems . .
1 – We/I have never pieced a block before or made a quilt project . . . and
2 – Our schedule is completely FULL as always with designing fabric, and another She Who Sews LANG calendar!!
So, I apologize ahead for not having a completed traditional project using this great block.
You can see Carla’s tutorial for #7 on her blog.

OK here goes.
This is our/my, first pieced quilt block ever. It’s true.
Actually we made two, just in case. Jackie cut and I stamped, inked and stitched.
Our minimal one block project will commemorate the event as a quilted wall piece to be framed and hung in the Joy Studio!
A reminder that it’s never too late to learn how to piece or quilt!!
•
Since we are waiting for our new fabric, “Paperdoll”
we used our partner Riley Blake Designs, Confetti Cottons in black and white and Aurifil thread for piecing.

I know it’s not much and I would love a quilt made using this block with each one turned and well, you never know. Maybe we/I keep piecing, right?
We had a lot of fun trying this and enjoyed the encouragement to participate.
Let us know how we did.

Carla was greatly instrumental in the only other blog hop I have ever participated in, the
2013 She Who Sews Sewing Room Hop!
THANK YOU again Carla!
