Rejoice in God's Faithfulness!
Welcome to my patchwork journal. I enjoy expressing myself through fiber. Tiny pieces of vintage quilt blocks and fabric combined with hand stitches create my art. When not quilting I'm living a patchwork life. Always changing and helping to keep me young and on my toes. Join me in my experiences and thoughts.

Lesson 3 OMG
Aiming for Accuracy Quilt A-Long Lesson 3 was NOT a good one for me. I totally missed the accuracy mark. I didn't know Half-Square Triangles could be so tough.
I think I put the pinwheels together wrong, because when it came to putting them together into this 4 block pattern things did not seem to work out. I just could not see the pattern at all. Maybe the selection of fabrics was wrong. I may take this lesson apart and reset it???? On the good side the block does measure 21 1/2 inches square. I hope Lesson 4 is a better on for me. How's you quilt project coming along? Happy Quilting!

Sunday---Precious Promises
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand as says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Isaiah 41:10-13

Christmas Quilt Underway
The Aiming for Accuracy Quilt-Along is underway. As I get ready to start the third lesson, I realized I have not shared the first two.
Both quilt lessons have been easy to put together and great learning tools. They have made me slow down and concentrate. And I'm using pins---I have a tendency to forget the pinning part of piecing and just sew. These blocks are 15 1/2 inches in size and pinning is essential. I hope to complete the third lesson this weekend. There is still time to join the group if you get the urge to improve your accuracy and make a great quilt.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Quilting!
