Question of the week....Is there something quilt-related on your bucket list? A quilt you would like to make, a show you would like to see, quilter you'd like to meet, etc?
A quilting bucket list! Great question! I'd love someday to go to Paducah. The spring show is always at a busy time as is the quilt show in Nantes, France, but I would love to go. A quilt I'd like to make...on my list is Wagon Wheel, Mariner's Compass ( I have made one block), Clamshell, and other curvy designs. A quilter I would love to meet, oh there are lots I've met, but don't know. After SO many years of attending Quilt Market, there are so many names! I've met Barbara Brackman numerous times but do not 'know' her, would love to chat about antique quilts with her and other quilt historians. I'd also like to meet Jeana Kimball, we have chatted on Instagram!, does that count??? And there are LOTS of wonderful quilter names I do 'know'!
Not that I've been made to think...this question was pretty hard.
What quilts, and quilters, are on your bucket list???
Dot Dash. Last week the pattern name was Four Patch Dash. Hmmm...a lot of dashing going on. Perfect names and blocks for this time as we are all dashing from project to project, busy with Market sewing. Thanks Lynne for this quick, easy and oh so cute block!

Please visit all or BlockHeads designers to see what they have been making.
I went pretty simple with the fabrics this time and stuck with my background for the mini block.
I don't think I have used near enough of the pretty light ground blue chintz from
Rachel Remembered as I should.
For the 3" Mini Penny block, I used leftover HSTs that I cut away when making connector corners with the 6" pattern. I trimmed them to 1 3/4" square. Cut 4 sashing strips 1" x 1 3/4". Cut center square 1".
Block should measure 3 1/2" for a 3" finished block.
Enjoy sewing these cute blocks!
Until next time ~
Betsy

Cute , cute blocks I love your background fabric.
ReplyDeleteGreat block. As for this week's question; I have been lucky enough to meet Jo and Lisa, but I would like to meet Betsy Chutchian and the rest of your quilt diva's! I have met Jeana Kimball and she is delightful! And I wish you were going to attend the AQSG seminar in Manchester, NH this month as Barbara Brackman would be happy to chat with you too! I too would like to attend spring Paducah some day. My quilts have been there, but unfortunately I have not. I would also like to go to Nantes some day. I think I have a large bucket list!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many quilts I would like to make and I'm so easily inspired when I view antique quilts. So it would be hard to name just one. As for the quilt shows, I've been going to the Houston show for many, many years starting with when it was at the Shamrock Hilton! But I've never been to Paducah and it's usually on my birthday, so I would especially like to go there. We've had Barbara Brackman at our guild before and her program was great. It would be fun to actually sit down one-on-one with her and soak up some of that knowledge that she has!
