I used the pressing the seams open tip again on those triangle pieces and everything matched up beautifully. I wish I knew that tip a while ago.
I could use more contrast in this block but I'm happy with how it came out.
Now for some fun.
Jenn had commented on my pillowcases and asked me if I had made a birthday one for Punkie. I had not so she kindly sent me a yard of Happy Birthday fabric that she had. I love it and I can't to make Amelia a pillowcase with it. I'm on the hunt for more since I think that would make very cute gifts for all the other little ones in my family. I haven't hit Joann's yet (that's where she got it) but I have plans to do that next weekend. Thank you Jenn!!
And I won a giveaway over at Jen's blog. She was celebrating her one year blogiversary and I received an awesome giveaway prize. I'll show you my picture but her pictures are much better.
She included Christmas duckies for Amelia. She will love them. I LOVE the box it came in and I'm going to have to hide it because Amelia will claim it for herself. And the "Peppermint Frost" magnet. I'm a sucker for magnets. Thank you Jen!
I just realized that there are three Jens here. LOL!
Okay, I'm off to sew some more. I have a couple more hours to myself before Punkie gets home.
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteHa, in was just thinking there were a lot of Jen(n)s in your post! Great win, no wonder you're thrilled. A Happy Birthday pillowcase is a fun idea - you'll show us when it's done, right?
ReplyDeleteI (not "in") was just thinking. Stupid iPad keyboard.
ReplyDeleteNice prizes Jen! Your block is really cute in those happy colors! I am doing the layer cake along also... but need to get going on it still.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your sewing time!
So many of us Jens! I was always "Jennifer G." in school b/c there were at least 2 or 3 of us in each class. LOL! Cute birthday fabric! So glad you like the winnings! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started the layer cake quilt along, but your block is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on the win!
Great win! And that Happy Birthday fabric is cute!! I will keep an eye out for it in case you haven't found it yet. But since I am trying to stay out of stores for now, that may be hard! lol
ReplyDeleteOh and great block!
Whoo...love that block. Makes me doubt my decision to sit this one out. AND look at that loot. cute pillowcase fabric for sure. I just had a great class with my mom and friend. :) I almost finished my quilt top. CUTE. Can't wait to get home and "show" everyone. Hope you got lots done this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI decided that I'm not doing the layer cake quilt along. I have done enough sampler quilts for awhile I think. I like your first block...have fun!
