Fig Tree Farmhouse: Mystery Block-of-the-Month 2019

 I am very late with this finish, but it's done. Pieced, quilted, bound. And I love it.

This is Fig Tree's Mystery Sampler Block-of-the-Month from 2019! Of course, it's now 2021.

This was a relatively challenging program -- interestingly enough, the block that I had the most trouble on was the pitcher-and-flower block on the bottom left of the quilt. For some reason, I could just not get some of the pitcher pieces to line up correctly. And I made one other mistake, but not going to dwell on it (too much). 

I loved the cherries and barns, and of course churn dashes and Dutchman's puzzles are a couple of my all-time favorites. I quilted on my domestic sewing machine (a Janome MC6600) with a standard all-over stipple. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

New and continuing projects: Block Heads 2 and Red & White Quilt

Even though I haven't posted here lately (I've mostly been on Instagram @elvycrafts), I have been fairly consistent with sitting down at the sewing machine.

After I finished the Medallion Quilt, I wanted to find a filler project that I could work on here and there, so I started the Moda Block Heads 2 quilt-along. This was back in October, and I was quite a ways behind. However, as of a couple of weeks ago, I'm all caught up (except this past Wednesday's block), AND I even began piecing together some of the blocks:

This past month, I also received the first of the year-long Mystery Sampler block-of-the-month by Fig Tree. The collection for this BOM is Farmhouse II. These are the blocks from January:

And, after several starts and stops, I decided to take a new tack on my Red & White Sampler Quilt. Here is the first block, just finished today:

I will post more info on this project later this weekend!
