The collection I am using is by Kari Nichols and is gorgeous! It definitely transports me to summer – a good thing with temps in the single digits. Quilted 10 blocks over the weekend, 10 more in the next few days. Yes, there will be a giveaway by me as well as Island Batik!

I’m on Wednesday for this blog hop! My quilt needs a binding and photos – no biggie right… Here are the others that have blogged yesterday and today – check them out – they are stunning. I’ll have a little giveaway for this hop, too!

I made these two blocks and sent them off to EMily from My Darling Dogwood. She is a part of the Bee Inspired group and mentioned in her post that she would accept block. They were fun and fast and a nice diversion from having to finish quilts. Glad to participate and go sailing away for a bit.

Also, I have been working hard on the cutting for Sherry’s QAL at Powered by Quilting. I finished cutting yesterday. Let the chain sewing begin.

See you tomorrow with a quilt and a givewaway!

    Hi Kathleen! Lots of busy-ness going on this month, isn’t there?!! Love those boats – I adore making them and whenever I see them I want to make a quilt. I’ll be back for the the fun. ~smile~ Roseanne

      I did have a great time making them, and like you, they always make me want to make a quilt with them.

    A lot of fun things to look forward to for sure. Your boat blocks look great and I’m sure Emily will be happy to receive them!

      I am sure Emily will be happy – I just hope not too inundated.

    You will enjoy Sherry’s QAL and making those blocks. They go together easily. It’s a great pattern! Those boat blocks are very cute; I like the stormy looking sky. You are busy with several projects!

      I had done a test block for her, so I know it was fun. It will be my idiot sewing – and boy do I need it today.
