Child's Play Quilts Blog Hop

Child's Play Quilts Blog Hop
My friend Stacey has a new book, Child's Play Quilts, and even though I'm more of a bagmaker, I like to dabble in quilting (but I'm still really new at it), so I joined her blog hop. Keep reading to find out how you can enter to win a copy for yourself. Before I talk about the book, I have to tell you something that might make you a little jealous: Stacey and I live in the same town, and she's even come over and folded my fabric for me! Admit it, you wish you had someone in your life who loves folding fabric as much as Stacey. (In fact, Stacey, if you're reading this, my stash would have you twitching at the moment because it's a mess, so feel free to come over and do your thang!) For everyone else, if you don't have your own Stacey, you can find her tips for fabric storage and managing your stash in this book.

​The bulk of this book includes fantastic quilt patterns, but there are also loads of resources and advice from Stacey for everything from fabric selection, and using up scraps,  to finishing your quilt. She provides tips and techniques and shows the tools of the trade.

​The quilt patterns are divided up into Applique and Pieced. I chose Bows Peep, a pieced project, but I also really love how fun Fishbowl and Fox Hunt are. When I'm feeling more ambitious, I'd like to try Diamonds Forever.

Here's mine!

Child's Play Quilts Blog Hop
I bought these three fabrics recently and at the time I didn't know what I'd do with them but when I saw that this quilt needed three different fabrics plus background, I went for it! You probably know by now that I love bright colours, so these fabrics together just make me happy.

Once I got started I couldn't stop! My finished blocks just waiting to be put together.

As a newbie, I crossed my fingers and hoped my sashing would line up, and overall I think I didn't do too badly. My 1/4" foot was a lifesaver!
