Good Evening:)!! Has another week flown by so fast? I hope everyone’s Easter was filled with family and delicious food. Mine was…especially the blueberry muffins from the Fantastic Bake Along. I’m excited for next month, Yum!!
Today I was able to find an hour or two to sew on my Long Time Gone Quilt by Jen Kingwell. I am joining Gnome Angel on this weekly QAL. So far, so good. I am still caught up. It’s amazing, right? Lol:)
This week’s block was the Trip Around the World Block. There were lots and lots of little squares that all joined together to make a beautiful block.
I sewed strips together and then sub cut them to get the block started.
I laid my block out to make it easier to sew the strips back together in the right order. Even then, I still messed up a bit, but it wasn’t too hard to add the extra red square that I forgot.
I sewed the first half altogether. It made me smile to see it all nice and orderly:) smile smile!
And then it was easy to join the two halves together.
It all finished into this SWEET Trip Around the World Block.
That wasn’t hard now, was it? I think I should come up with some saying, like, “quilters from around the world, all stitched together in a common project, make the world a beautiful place”.
I LOVE trip around the world! My parents’ wedding quilt from my grandma and great grandma was a trip around the world with some larger white centers and a red and black path then scrappy ones. I remember laying on that quilt learning my colors! Quilts are so full of memories!
