I had some time yesterday to sew & was able to make a few quilt blocks.
I’ve been choosing random blocks that I’ve never made before using some
scraps as well as fabric I set aside for this project.
The first block is called QST Star, it’s a pattern by Sew Easy Block of the Month (Feb. 2024)
The website address if you are interested in making one is: www.ladybugthreads.com
The second block is called Railroad Quilt Block, I found a great resource for quilt blocks at
www.fabric406.com and have made a couple so far. The 3rd block is from the Fabric 406
website also.
The third block is called a Box Square Block, it was fun to make. I did need to get out the
seam ripper because I had one part backwards, that’s how I learn sometimes.
I have nine blocks made so far, I think I need to incorporate a little more green. Over all I’m
excited about having a bright sampler type of quilt as you go project when I’m done

Quilting can be both a fun and rewarding experience, especially for those looking to express their creativity through fabric and design. The QST Star, Railroad Quilt Block, and Box Square Block are perfect patterns for sewers of all skill levels. Each block offers a unique challenge and a chance to enhance your quilting skills. When choosing fabrics for your quilt, consider mixing various textures and colors to create a vibrant and cohesive look. Emphasizing greens, as mentioned, can bring a refreshing feel to your quilting project. As you sew, keep an eye on the pattern instructions to avoid mix-ups that might require the infamous seam ripper to undo mistakes! Resources like www.ladybugthreads.com and www.fabric406.com can provide additional inspiration and guidance on your quilting journey. Explore quilting forums and communities online to connect with fellow enthusiasts who share your passion. Remember, the journey of quilting is as important as the end product. Enjoy the process, experiment with different designs, and don't hesitate to learn from your errors. Happy quilting!
