Thanks for all the kudos on the new book. I can't wait to show you more of the projects! I forgot to mention that although it's a Christmas book, almost every pattern can be used to create quilts year-round! So it's really versatile!
So on to what I've been up to recently...
When I saw this block on Amy's blog, I fell hard for it. The pattern is called Steam Punk, and designed by Australian designer, Jen Kingwell. The pattern is pricey, so I felt I had to make a commitment to it, and I'm really glad I did. I'm loving the blocks and it's definitely something out of my comfort zone!
There's also a template set here.
The vintage looking block is #3499 in Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia ~ attributed to KC Star 1938, and called Air Ship Propeller. I found a similar (and less expensive) pattern here.
I'm using some bold, dramatic prints that have been collecting in my stash. A few of my favorite blocks...

This is definitely closer to my comfort zone! It's from Camille's new book Simply Retro. I dived right in to making the quilt titled "Dwell". It was super fun and went really fast. I had a little trouble snapping pictures today with the wind. I'll get some better photos once it's quilted!
And a few of my favorite blocks...
And finally I'm quilting my Tsuru quilt. This small quilt seems like it's taking me forever, but I'm getting close to done.
Linking up to WIP Wednesday...
