I started this one a few weeks ago. Hard to believe nearly a month has passed.  It’s for a charity and the usual rules apply: I can’t share dimensions or pattern instructions.  I started by selecting fabrics.  Solids and blenders were recommended and I had quite a few on hand from last year:

 Almost all of these came from Missouri Quilt Company, either from my trip up there last summer, or by mail order.

 

 

 

 

 

The first week was pretty easy, star blocks and I was able to use my Accu cutter to make them perfect:

The jar of ladybugs was paper-pieced and I have to say that is not my most favorite method of quilting. I find it time consuming and wasteful of fabric.

Week two, and more paper piecing.  I struggled through this.  It’s tedious, and too easy to make mistakes IMO.  I had to re-do the candy block.  I really much prefer the simplicity of die-cutting everything.
