My Favorite Color Quilt - Blocks 6-15

Well I didn't finish this quilt last year but it will be added to my unfinished projects for 2023. I did get quite far and this post will get you all up to date on where I'm at. Here are blocks 6 to 15.

Block 6- Blocks 4 and 5 are the reason I fell so far behind because of the issues I had with the sizing so when I saw this one was next I was too scared to start. I really had  no reason to because it came together fairly quickly without incident which motivated me to do more but it was probably three month before I actually touched it.

Block 7

Block 8

Block 9

Block 10

Block 11

Block 12

Block 13

Block 14

And finally Block 15

I only have 5 more blocks to go but because they were added to the 2023 list, they will be randomly chosen. I will have more on that when I post about this year's challenge.

My Favorite Color Quilt - Blocks 4 and 5

Oh dear, I am falling behind.....These are April's blocks for the My Favorite Color Is Sampler Moda Quilt. I really wanted to stay on top of this Block of the Month but I had a little trouble with this one. I accidently cut block 4's pieces too small so instead of redoing the entire thing I had to improvise to make the finished block the right size. I will probably be switching the two blocks in their placement in the finished quilt as I think block 4 will work better in block 5's place. Anyways here are the finished blocks. They are supposed to look exactly the same but I chose to sew a border around block 4 to get the size right.

My Favorite Color Quilt - Blocks 2 and 3

Continuing with the My Favorite Color Is BOM, this month we did two blocks, blocks 2 and 3. I was so excited to get started that I forgot to take pictures of the block 2 progress but I did take pictures for block 3 which is the same block with different colors.

Block 2 finished

Block 3 process:

First I lay out all the pieces in order. 

I then sewed the corner pieces onto the strips.

Starting from the center I sewed each piece side, side, top and bottom, side, side, top and bottom etc...

And here is the finished block. You can check out my first post here.

New Quilt Project- My Favorite Color Is Sampler Moda Quilt- Block 1

Hi, so despite of finishing sixty unfinished projects this year, I decided to start a new one and I'm going to post here to keep myself accountable so that it actually gets finished when it is supposed to, lol. This quilt Block of the Month is hosted by my local quilt shop Tiny Stitch Quilt Shop. Although sign ups are over for this quilt along you can find the book here. We are using Bella Solids for this quilt but I think some prints would work really well with it as well. The colorway I chose was Carnival Confection. 

So, the first and best thing to do is to be organized as we are cutting all our fabric first so everything is ready to sew each month. This was a daunting task, but I picked one fabric a day and finished cutting over a two week period. There are twenty blocks in this quilt, so I labeled large zippered bags from 1-20 and as I cut each fabric I labeled the blocks with the block number, fabric number and size of the block (I've covered those out of respect to the designer of the pattern) and placed each piece in the bag representing the block it belongs to.

I made a fabric chart for reference with the names, numbers and a small swatch of each fabric.

I also set a bag aside for the leftover fabric, which I labeled the fabric name and number.

And now for the fun part! Sewing the first block together. The first block is fairly large measuring 36" squared. (sorry for not getting a picture right after it was freshly ironed)
