Moda Block Heads 2 Sampler - Finished!

With so much anxiety in the world right now, it becomes even more important to seek out activities that bring peace and joy.

Quilting on a domestic machine (after deciding the beloved longarm was indeed too great an extravagance) is an arduous process, but so satisfying when it is done. This is just a simple all-over stipple, but it still took me a couple of weekends.

The quilt now hangs behind my desk, now that I've been working from home for about eight weeks. Here are some of my favorite blocks, in no particular order:

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!
