We are twelve weeks into the Quilting the Countdown 100 day project. There are 15 days left until QuiltCon. I'm spending at least 15 minutes a day working on my Patchwork City blocks.

I finished four blocks this week. This brought me to 64 out of 75 blocks complete. These finished blocks are Kona Jade Green and Kona Flame. I've done a bit of prep for my last Flame block, too!

15 days and 11 blocks to go! Thanks for visiting.

We are eleven weeks into the Quilting the Countdown 100 day project. There are 22 days left until QuiltCon. I'm spending at least 15 minutes a day working on my Patchwork City blocks.

I finished three blocks this week. This brought me to 60 out of 75 blocks complete. These finished blocks are Kona Jade Green, Kona Papaya, and Kona Wasabi. My progress this week includes bits of three more blocks as well.

I like to work on pieces from multiple blocks all at once.

For this Papaya block I used the cutting templates as foundation paper piecing templates. While I've done many of the blocks with the templates, some of the piecing is very fiddly and FPP allows for better precision for me.

The quarter rectangle units in this block can also be fiddly to piece. I chose to cut my pieces oversized (in the outer direction) and after piecing the four fabrics together I trim to size. I love that this little 8" block has 13 different fabrics. There's so much to look at.

22 days and 15 blocks left! Thanks for visiting.

With the excitement of the inauguration, I kinda forgot it was Wednesday and I needed to post my 100 Days of Patchwork City update!

We are ten weeks into the Quilting the Countdown 100 day project. There are 29 days left until QuiltCon. I'm spending at least 15 minutes a day working on my Patchwork City blocks.

I've come to a bit of a crawl on this project, but I'm still chipping away. (However, I've finished two quilts so far this year! The first one featured the Pantone Color of the Year.) I finished one block this week. But I owed you a picture from last week's finished block, so you get to see two blocks! This brought me to 57 out of 75 blocks complete. These finished blocks are Kona Papaya and Kona Wasabi.

 

P.S. If you're interested in starting a 100 Day Project, consider joining this one starting on January 31.
