Giveaway Alert!

All of the QAL by the Sea blocks have been released.

I hope you’ve enjoyed making these blocks and will like using them in the projects or quilts you’ve planned. The other hosts will be showing you some setting and finishing ideas. But mine will have to wait until my wrist/hand/arm has mended.

This QAL is brought to you by Partners in Design: Where Friends and Fabric Meet.

Let’s celebrate by having a big grand prize. To enter make one of each of the patterns in the QAL by the Sea and post them according to the directions below.

What I Learned Today:

1. There’s a lot of truth to the saying “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” I had big plans of designing a few extra blocks to incorporate into my quilt but that idea got sidelined when I injured my wrist/hand/arm.
2. I make an awful patient. I am impatient and find taking it easy to be frustrating and difficult.
3. Doing most things with one hand takes longer to do than I want.

Question: How will you use your QAL by the Sea blocks? I’ll be sewing mine into a quilt top. Due to my injury, I left them on my design wall where they’ll wait for me to return next year. It was hard to do as I had such a good plan.

Thanks for stopping by and do come again.
