Love the rabbit. He's on my list. This is the quilt I'm working on . . .
This photo was found on Christals website ChristalCarter.com.
The quilt is a very simple pattern. But a challenge because there are so many pieces. The blocks are
traditional log cabins and variations of traditional blocks.
The blocks are made using a strip piecing piecing method. The strips are cut 1". Each block contains 9 strips and is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" when it is finished.
There are 646 total blocks. The quilt is pieced in sections. I am about 3/4 done with piecing.
I photographed these blocks with a sweet pumpkin that one of my students parents gave me yesterday.
She gave it to my for Happy Fall.
That was so sweet. There was a new Fall color plastic glass with a lid and straw. A calendar. A package of M & M's and hand lotion. Also in the photo are a few of the flowers I bought at Dollar Tree today.
Quess what I'm doing tomorrow afternoon when I'm not sewing?

This quilt is going to be fabulous! We can't wait to see it all pieced together!
This looks like it will be a beautiful quilt, and it is a skill I would really like to learn along with our daughters. Thank you for sharing it :-)
Our church had a young women's Bible study. As part of our time together, we made "strip quilts" which were sent to an orphanage in a depressed area of the country. It was wonderful to see the girls personalities shine through in the color fabric they chose.
My daughter-in-law taught me how to make a quilt which I made for our guest room at the time. Sewing doesn't come easy to me, but I did enjoy the process and the results.
Thanks so much for sharing your quilt project with us. :-)
Love the pattern and I can't wait to see your finished quilt! It's always so nice when students give their teachers a little something. Heaven knows they certainly deserve it! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Yikes --- two and a half inch finished blocks!!! Much to small for me to tackle, I'm sure. But I would love to see your finished quilt - you seem to be coming along with it very well indeed.

Tiny blocks - amazing! What an exercise in patience!
