Quilt Group

So I totally missed quilt group last month cause I was working like crazy on my stuff for the Beehive Bazaar. So this month I made an extra one to give to Carol (the woman who's turn it was last month) She had 4 come to her this week so I wasn't the only slacker! No worries though, she won't be putting her quilt together anytime soon cause she's super busy with her 2 daughters getting married this summer.

I got the idea for these squares from the purl bee's curved seemed pillow tutorial. Unfortunately I didn't see the download for the pattern until now! So I drew my own. Our square has to be 9 1/2 * 9 1/2 so I made my square a random size then just cut it down to the right size in the end. This is what happens when you join a quilt group that has you make a square at home to bring in each month with no lessons attached. So with me not knowing anything about " how " to make a quilt square- I basically just have to wing it. I'm pretty sure I'm a true quilters nightmare.



P.s. just cause you know how to sew doesn't mean you know how to quilt! I think I thought it would be somewhat easy. no such luck! I still look foward to when it's my month & when I have/get to put my quilt together.

Quilt Group

I joined a neighborhood quilt group this year with my friend tia. 15 lovely ladies all random ages. We make 1-2 squares a month then bring them to quilt group. Then one (or 2) of the women in quilt group receives those squares to make themselves a quilt with. This year they've decided to have everyone pick from their scraps at home & make a random 9 1/2 square. This really didn't excite me too much. In my head i'm thinking this will not work, I need my quilt to match, but so far it seems like it might work out.

I didn't take a picture of the first 2 which makes me sad but here is my square for this month. I think it turned out pretty good if you don't look too closely at the different sizes of the rectangles/ turned squares. I seem to make up my squares instead of looking at a pattern which ends up working against me in the long run.
