Bounty Hunter FPP TESTER

Y'all I'm super excited about getting the opportunity to be quilt pattern tester for Quilting Space Studio




There are 117 Kona Solids...WHOA!!


 Block #1


 Block #2

Not gonna sugar coat this...these blocks are time consuming. Each one takes about 2 hours to complete. (This also includes all my little goofs here and there that I have to redo.)


Blocks #3-5


There are several testers. We all started on a different row, so we could find mistakes/corrections (if there are any) faster. 

My personal goal was to get about 1 block done a day or 1 row done within a week. after getting the first 5 blocks done, I'm going to have to reconsider this goal, since I also have a family to take care of. But I'll keep knocking out the blocks as fast as I can.

Farm Girl Vintage BOM - January

For those of you who follow me via Facebook or Instagram, you already know that I'm teaching the 2020 Block of the Month class at Angola Quilt Shop using Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt. And I know that this is about a month late. I'll try to be better about February's

Since I didn't want to drag this out over several years, we are making 4 blocks a month for a total at 48 blocks. And I know that 4 blocks a month can be overwhelming to some, so I'm offering several options to the students. Option #1 will be the 48 blocks, which is what you see on the cover.


Here are my first 4 blocks:

I'm using Franklin by Denyse Schmidt Quilts for Free Spirit Fabrics



Option #2 will be Square Dance Quilt

Here is my block:
I'm using Avalon by Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit Fabrics


Option #3 is the Quilty Barn Quilt


Here is my block for the Quilt Barn Block

I using fabrics from circa 1930s from several different fabric lines, that i purchased about 4 years for a different quilt top (that still it's finished, because, you know, life happens).


Soooooo....by the end of the year I'll have 3 quilt tops added to my stash of to-be-quilted!
