5th set of blocks

Here is the next set of blocks for the Facebook quilt challenge that I am taking part in.

Set four of quilt blocks

The top picture is of them all together. Center block is yet to come.

The second picture is of this weeks blocks.

next set of blocks for quilt plus first set

Here is block three on the top and block one on the bottom.

Block three is Prairie Flower

Block one is Watermill variation

On the left block of the watermill there is a different fabric that goes around the light rectangle blocks like in the red but it doesn't show up. Thinking of replacing it but have not found a fabric that will work in my stash so it may very well just stay the way it is. 

quilt challenge block two

So the Christmas board that I visit and post to is down right now for some upgrading etc. However I am still crafting away. Not on anything for Christmas but still crafting. I came across a quilt challenge on Facebook  by the National Quilters Circle and decided to join.

You get to choose between two quilt sizes. Bed or lap. I choose the lap and using fabrics I have laying around but mainly in man colours so nothing really with flowers. Plans once this gets done plans are to put it away for one of my grandson's.

The blocks shown here are the second set of blocks--week two of the challenge. I need to redo a part of one of the first set of blocks so I will post pictures once it's fixed. 

The quilt pattern is called the Lexington Sampler quilt, designed by Susan Guzman

Block is called Brightest Star (with border)

Malil shawl

July birthday gift for oldest DD

Pattern by Lisa Hanes/maliha designs. 

Yarn by cloud born fibres.

Grey yarn is charcoal heather merino superwash 

Blue yarn is merino super wash sock twist mini set in blue dacnis 

Knitted on 3 & 3.25mm needle. larger size used on the mosaic panels

Came out smaller than size given as only gage is a needle size larger than suggested on yarn wrapper.

4 aprons

Yes that's right--4 aprons. Purchased some cute cherry fabric that reminded me of one of my grandmother's aprons a couple years ago. Plans were to make me a full apron but once I pulled it out I found that I purchased more than I thought I did.  So I got:

Apron for me plus

                                                      A Barbie apron for DGD's doll, plus

                                                 
                                                    An apron for DGD's 18 inch doll plus

                 An apron for DGD and still have a little left over and that little is just under half of a meter

Even the rick rack could be found on my dear grandmother's aprons. I loved it when I got to wear one of hers even if it was a little big while I help her make ketchup.

Doll dress

I finally got the doll dress finished. I used the same fabric for the doll dress as I used for DGD Easter dress. However I put navy binding around the bottom of the dress instead of the netting. 

This dress will be given to DGD at Christmas as part of the clothes I will be giving her for the 18 inch doll. Been kind of thinking that I need to make myself a dress with this fabric as I really like it but I already have a couple navy dresses and I did buy some smaller red flower fabric in this line to make myself a dress.
