More Lollipops Blocks

And the lollipops keep on growing. Only 2 more to go. I will miss working on these sweet treats. I am starting to plan the sashing and borders.

Lollipop Blocks

Several years ago, Barbara Brackman had a post that showed a Lollipo Quilt that I loved. It was a red, green and white quilt. I also had seen the amazing quilt that Kim McClean made with similar blocks using Kaffe's fabrics and a light background. These quilts have been in my "to make someday list" for a long time. Fast forward to recent cleaning up in my studio. I found a paper copy of the Lollipop quilt that Barbara had blogged about; and I had noted the blog date, so I could return to it. It was too much to resist. So here I go with a new applique project and I am loving it. More updates to come. Cheers.

Pick a Petal SAL

The 2024 Sew Along (SAL), for The Quilt Show is called Pick a Petal by Jen Kingwell.

It is a beautiful quilt, and I plan to make it with a lot of scrap fabrics. I made 2 other quilts by Jen and they are wonderfully complicated and stimulating.
