And send it soaring!!!!!

I love the blocks that bring songs to my mind. Well, I love all the blocks in First Notes, who am I kidding?

This block uses templates, just like a few weeks ago. It is a nice introduction to template piecing and nothing to be afraid of. Using templates creates less fabric waste and helps with precision.

So let’s go Fly a Kite!!!

You can now find Flying Kite at Shoppe Lovingly Lissa

The Wyoming Valley is NOT in Wyoming, it is Pennsylvania. Did you already know that? I didn’t, but Sister Jaquelyn made me take Calculus and not Geography my senior year of High School. I may not know what is East and West of me, but boy I could derive integrals like nobody’s business way back when. (secret: I honestly loved Calculus and all Math, but I still wish I could have taken Geography too)

Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s get on with Block #10 in First Notes of the Quilt Concert Series.

I really love the options to this block. By playing with value and color placement, you can create so many star shapes out of one quilt block!

Block 10 can be found at The (Not So) Dramatic Life Etsy Shop.

I cannot wait to see all the interpretations this week. That’s been such a wonderful part of this Quilt Concert, I really love seeing all the different ways each block is made. I cannot wait to see all the quilt tops!!!

Week 11 Sponsors!!!

We have two wonderful Sponsors this week!!!

Dabble and Stitch is a wonderful online shop of beautifully curated fabrics. I’m actually excited because by the time you read this, I’ll have gone to their local pop up shop that they are having today and tomorrow! They are sending one U.S. resident a $50 gift card to the online store.

The Sewing Loft has amazing single block patterns ready to download. Seriously, they are all so cute it is hard to pick one. Luckily the winner will be able to choose a 10 block bundle! I’m a little bit jealous to be honest.

Oh, for a life on the rolling sea!

I was absolutely giddy when I found out there was a song for the Eddystone Light!! We had chosen blocks based on their design and pattern, but then one actually has a song! How perfect for our concert. Here, I will share it with you.

Let’s fly, let’s fly away!

This week for Block 8 we are Flying North!

This is one of our 12″ x 6″ rectangular blocks. I have a great fondness for these blocks, they’re a break from the boring old square. LOL!

I like finding other designs in a block (see my “bug block” a few posts back) This block, with the green fabric in the center makes me think of a fir tree.

Flying North is available at The (Not So) Dramatic Life Etsy Shop.
