A little more then half the squares needed for the zig-zag quilt top. I have a stack in the office and another 24 squares to cut then I am ready to start piecing :)
Fabrics for the top are a white solid and various prints from Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market line. Free pattern can be found here, thanks to Crazy Mom Quilts. I am making a queen size and hopefully I calculated everything right :)
I am getting closer to being caught up on my quilt blocks, this is August's block. I am not sure I understand the purpose behind this method. I think it is called foundation piecing? I am going to have to do some more research into why and when to use this technique. For my one block it seemed kind of odd. Could I not achieve the same look with out the paper? Are you supposed to use it with thin fabric? is my foundation supposed to have a layout design to it?So many questions :)
Happy Thursday to everyone. And a very special hug and kiss to my anonymous traveling commenter, we miss you lots.
I volunteered to make a block for Crazy Mom Quilts: Quilts of Valor. And believe it or not I made the block the same day I got the email. It is a bit wow I know. But I like it. The background fabric is actually a navy blue and white. I had a difficult time deciding on fabrics. I realized I did not have very many red, white, and blue fabrics in my stash as I thought I did. Hopefully this block will end up getting used in the quilt but if not it was a fun learning experience anyway :)
I used this tutorial, which was provided for us in the blog posting, it was really easy to follow. 
I am seeing stars now when I look at my fabrics :)
