Design Wall Monday

I managed to complete this little church at the 11th hour for the Americana QAL sponsored by Dreamworthy Quilts.  I really like the original quilt and enjoy seeing the monthly work by others.  I can't seem to get excited about making a queen size quilt, however, which is what this QAL is all about.  So I am making only one block per month instead of a whole row and seeing where it leads.  I would still like to make an Americana themed quilt, but maybe more lap sized.  Hopefully the blocks I am making will be in the right size to be used that way.  Here is my little church:

I also finished this table topper this week, so overall a good week seeing as how I was raking leaves a good part of the time.

We had a rainy Halloween so not as many trick or treaters and way too much candy left.

Designing Monday

Not much to show for the week.  I made the monthly block for the Americana QAL hosted by Dreamworthy Quilts.  It is a cute little birdhouse.

I am also playing with sunflowers.  I am designing a little 12" block for fall.  I am using a carpenter's ruler for my frame to get an idea of how it will lay out.  I am not a paper and pencil kind of person as I can't draw anything.  So I have to work it out in fabric.

Designing Monday

My design wall is filling up with little trees.  I am having fun making these even though I am still having to do some rework along the way.  They are such happy little trees.  I am up to 19 finished trees so far.  I only need 6 more.

I signed up for the Americana QAL from Deana at Dreamworthy Quilts.  It is posted on the Daughters of Dorinda website.  Here are the first two blocks I made.  I also made a couple of extra flags and hearts.  It is a row quilt.  I don't have a large patriotic quilt, so this will be fun to work on for next summer.
