Have you seen Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday?


This morning I had fun playing with fabrics and Marcia's tutorial. I didn't follow directions correctly.....I'm blaming it on "old age". She has a contest going on right now called Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday and some lucky person will win getting their quilt quilted by her! Your quilt must be no bigger than a baby quilt and you just have to make the top - not quilt it. The deadline is January 17th and you link to her Hodgepodge Tuesday. Check it out! I saw it last night and made it this morning!
Marcia's Crafty Sewing & Quilting
Even if you don't want to take part be sure and check out her blog, she has the neatest tutorials, info and her quilting is beautiful! I sound like an advertisement LOL!
 Mine isn't really too scrappy, I used 5 fat quarters that I have had for over a year.
I made 12 blocks, it didn't take long at all as they are log cabin blocks.
Here you can see how I was laying the blocks out. Her tutorial for the Denim block is wonderful! I can see another quilt coming soon!
I used the leftover strips for a bigger log cabin block, it is 15 inches a great size for a centerpiece.

I was also featured on Marcia's blog last month - it was my Christmas Tree table runner tutorial. Her Minutes for Me  party starts at noon on Wednesdays.
There are so many fun QAL's and challenges going on and I want to join all of them! I am going to make a list and post it of the ones I want to take part in - otherwise I seem to lose some of them, how about you?
Have you seen this cute tutorial by Sew Lux Fabric and Gifts?  This little block is only 3.5 inches and is made from 2 inch blocks. She shows you how to make a little template for this Bitty Whirlygig block. You end up with a block like the Itty Bitty Lil Twister. I had to make one to see how easy it was......Very Easy!

The quick quilt looks very nice, but I love that little whirlygig block. That would be a great mini quilt.

Lovely shades of blue with the bits of pink/peach. A quick little play pattern that is showing how different it looks with use of fabric and color. Just lovely.
