    Something’s fishy

    In my search I came across some funny word designs and immediately I knew I had to find a clever way to use them. It hit me, a t-shirt quilt since many of the designs I imagined on t-shirts. So I drew up a patchwork t-shirt block and started stitching.

    The Economy Block is a traditional patchwork block that makes beautiful scrappy quilts or a single block made large enough for a baby quilt. They’re also great fill blocks or quilt samplers.

    Today is my second appt this week to the dentist, yuck. I have been making progress with projects and finally finished the organization in my sewing room.

    Yesterday I shared my For the Birds/Create for a Cause quilt. With this finish I discovered I really do love improv quilting and learned to accept sometimes the block placements do not always work.
