My second quilt blocks!

[Rajah]

I didn't get a picture of my first two (ended up making two because I misjudged how much fabric it would take so had enough put together for two blocks). But, this was my second set of almost-done blocks. I haven't decided entirely what I'm going to do with them yet, but I think this is the layout I'm going to use.

I think I have a new addiction (like I needed another one )

Thanks for the photo! That looks very pretty. You are inspiring me to get started on a quilt for our guest bedroom and one for my sister. Need to get that measuring tape out and pick a color scheme.

Hope we get to see some updates as your quilt progresses!

As long as our internet stays up, I'll post updates.

I only have one word when it comes to arranging my quilt blocks!

PLAY!!!!! I arrange, re-arrange & re-arrange again before I decide! hahaha But it's sooooo much fun!

I'm addicted to fabric & quilting & not ashamed to admit it! hahaha

Cowgirl -- I'm just glad that a friend suggested making a piecing wall out of the felt. It's making it so much easier to play with and visualize. All I have right now is a big piece of felt thrown over the closet door, but that's working so far without putting any holes in my wall Of course, that means that right now I'm limited to the width of the door for laying out...

Those felt walls are the cat's meow for sure!!! I have two felt walls I taped to my walls in my hallway. Would be lost without them!

Now I need to figure out the best way to attach it to the *wall* so I can get more width out of my felt working area. It's *amazing* how those things work! I didn't believe it, but just placing my pieces against the felt has kept them there for almost 3 days now. I expected at least one part to have fallen by now, but it hasn't.

If you have a wall you can leave it on permanently use double stick carpet tape. You can get it at Wal Mart, Lowes, etc. It is very strong tape & will hold it nicely. Justr remember to leave the fuzziest side out to put your quilt pieces on. If they have to stay up for a long time just use straight pins to keep them on the felt. If you put the felt on a wall where you may have to take it down now & then try push pins. They make small holes & can be filled easily. Also another way to do it is to adhere the felt to heavy duty cardboard. Two large pieces so it can be folded like a book & slid under your bed... works great. Plus it can be free-standing while you use it!
