Spelling Bee Sew Along



Good Day and Happy you stopped by!
Today I am sharing a fun sew along going on over at Fat Quarter Shop.

 Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet wrote another adorable book which features complete instructions for 100 letter, number, punctuaction and picture blocks in two sizes plus 18 quilt projects!

This Sew Along will feature 88 of the blocks from the Spelling Bee Book.
This is just a sampling the blocks and they are absolutely adorable.
Lasting 44 weeks, The Sew Along will feature 2 blocks from the book each week. You can find all the details [HERE]
I am going to be sewing along, too.  I have plans to make both my boys a name quilt - "Luc" and "Liam" - for Christmas.
My hope is that they are not too old (they are 10 and 14 years old) to get a hand made quilt  : )                      I have already pulled the fabrics - a black and green combo for Liam and a blue/black combo for Luc.
Be sure to check out all the cute projects from the Sew-Along [HERE]

Bella Skill Builder - Block 9 Lazy Angle

It is time for the last block in the Bella Skill Builder Sew Along designed by Sherri McConnell of a Quilting Life and hosted by Fat Quarter Shop.
This month's block is called Lazy Angle.  It is a fun pinwheel style block and easy to put together and incredibly easy with this handy dandy ruler.



I couldn't resist making a version of this block with a print background : )



It is hard to believe that this quilt along started 9 months ago!  How time flies!

Be sure to head on over to the other quilter's blogs who are part of this quilt along!

Happy Sewing
